Check this out I payed $135 for a 120W Tube amp that needs a minor fix.  It's too bad that there isn't a place to buy soldering irons, solder, and a switch that exists all over the country.  I mean even if it was mainly for radio repair and it was nothing more than a little shack.  Hell you could call it radio shack if you wanted.  I might even shop there.  At least until the store began to phase out its electronic component section.  Well that just an idea I had maybe someday it'll be a reality.  BTW here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3716027557 .
It's people like us who contribute to dead fx pedals selling on eBay for what they'd cost new!

Hey Matt,
Thats a great Buy, Lota People make sport of the old Peavey amp's but the duece can and will hold it's own with any amp out there, because of the clean headroom that they are capable of putting out they love pedal's and any kind a processor right through the front input, I collect amps and I love just about anykind, I can find away to enjoy them no matter what kind it is, Well maybe just about everyone,  :roll:

I agree with JD about the Deuce, I recently picked one up that was lying around unused for the equivilant of $65.00, although they were working fine I removed the original speakers and replaced them with Celestion Century 80 watt 12's and I can now lift the amp without fear of incurring a hernia, if anything it almost seems half the original weight and is even louder if thats possible. Though they have tranny pre-amps they still produce a nice clean tone and it does indeed accept pedals straight thru the front without any hassle, on the down side I dont really care personally for the overdrive tones but then again I just use an AC Booster or whatever in front and that does the job nicely.
