The 2x12 version is good but the 4x10 version is just plain excellent. No matter how good your amp is the speaker cabinet must also be top quality to have a great tone.

It is not a tube transistor hybrid. The best source for vintage amplifier and guitar parts. It was after this amp that peavey began making the tube transistor amps artie mcewan. It is all tube and used a 6c10 in the preamp.

It is loaded with the original peavey blue marvel speakers.
