Mine was Line6 Spider IV. Deacent amp for a 14 year old at the time. Now i have a Blackstar HT5.
A small Magnatone that I really wish I had kept... along with a Magnatone X15 Tornado guitar that was my first electric guitar...
...sure wish I still had it now...Bro', i LOVE that guitar.
AWESOME.
I eventually sold my crappy Peavey to a local kid for $10. It was a treat for him.I pulled out my second guitar amp the other day, a 1980's vintage Peavey Backstage Plus and went through it, spraying the pots and resoldering the reverb tank leads and guess what? I can say without hesitation that it still sounded as crappy as I remembered...

I traded my crappy Backstage for a slightly less crappy (???) Peavey Classic VTX which I played for many, many years before picking up a '69 Deluxe Reverb.I eventually sold my crappy Peavey to a local kid for $10. It was a treat for him.
I too had a Peavey musician head, the Mark III or something like that. It had a big cab with two silver cone 15" speakers, and a horn if I remember correctly. It was indeed loud as )(*)(#*)(#, but the sound of the thing was not to be desired. The built in distortion was ok, bu the verb was a tin can with a stick clanging around in it. I eventually lost it in a divorce with the rest of the rig. In that, she did me a favor that one time. The judge ordered me to liquidate the entire rig and give her half, so an original Fender Thinline 69 tele in natural, a Guild S-100 Polara, and that amp all went for the price of 500 bucks. I gave her half. She was mightily pissed, but there was no monetary expectation set by the judge and he said, "he fullfilled the requirements of the order"..... I only miss the guitars now.Peavey Musician head, with a 15" cab. Loud as @#$%*.

Bummer about the Tele and Guild. I happen to know of a similar divorce story but it involved a gorgeous 1965 Mustang fastback that got sold to a brother for a $1. Once the proceedings were finalized, it was sold back for the same $1. Of course this was back in the day when the lawyers and general public were still just looking at them as "old" cars and not at their appreciation potential. Probably a much different story if this happened today. BTW, he still has the '65 even after another divorce, although he finally got smart with a prenup that time around.
These are the hybrids with a tube power section right?Very similar to my '75 Classic 50 2x12. IIRC, the Classic had reverb, but no chorus/vibrato effects. 6L6 tubes. Could just about hear myself think in a crowded room.
