I got this on friday. It is a
Peavey Artist 240(PDF)
I traded my Silvertone 1451 + $50 for it
Got another guitar too(on the right).
Now I can start a southern rock band.

Peavey has to be the most underrated company in the entire music business. Really a shame in so many ways.

High School. Other guys were combing their mullets and sketching Camaros. Hartley had better ideas!

Hartley was pre mullet I believe-yeah, they aren't the flashiest, prettiest things, but were by far the best value for the buck ever!

Thanks guys!Speaker in my Peavey Artist is a 12" Black Widow which,I think,really sounds great.It is a very loud amp the 4 6L6 power stage puts out 120 watts. My Silvertone has a 6 1/2" Rola speaker which i don't like as much as the Fisher speaker that was in my amp-in -case Silvertone .The little radio tube the powers the amp puts out about 3.5 watts. I original bought the Silvertone amp because I thought it would sound like the Silvertone 1448 with a Fisher speaker I used to have but it doesn't.

Hey Mitch,
I've got one of those Danelectro made Silvertone amp in case guitars as well. I think they sound great! Mine has the tremolo and I would not hesitate to use it at a smaller gig or for recording.
