I have a head!

So I won an auction today for a Peavey XXL guitar amp head. This is good, cuz I'm getting it for cheaper than I was bidding for in a previous auction which I didn't win. This retails for $799.99 and you can get it online at a discount shop for $699.99. I got this baby for $305.00 plus shipping charges which will probably range from $45-$90. Now this means my total will be around $400.00 which is pretty much what it should be since I'm getting this baby used in good condition. Now for the main specs on this baby:

* Three fully independent channels
* Bottom, body, and edge active EQ on ultra channel
* Three-position EQ and gain voicing switches on each channel
* 100 watts RMS into 4, 8, or 16 ohms (selectable impedance)
* Power level switch for 25 watt, 50 watt, or 100 watt operation
* Power amp damping switch (tight, medium, loose)
* Footswitchable effects loop with effects level switch
* Preamp out / power amp in patching jacks
* Reverb
* Three button footswitch included
* Classic jeweled pilot light
* Chrome plated brass control knobs

The many reviews and sounds I lifted appear to still maintain the classic tube sound, while being solid state, AKA, no vaccuum tubes. This is good for me, since I don't want to take care of a high maintenance amp, and don't want to risk blowing tubes when playing. Plus, I research solid state electronics, so I want to support the cause. I could have bought a modeling amp like the Line 6 or Behringer brands, but I'd rather have the versatility of this amp, without some digital sounds I probably won't use anyways. I plan on eventually getting a nice pedal setup anyways for those effects.

Now check out and worship the pic:
