Peavey TransTube Rage 158 1x8" 25W guitar amp combo

Product Information

The Peavey Rage 108 is an older model Peavey amp that was one of their first attempts at a cheap and portable amplifier. It has 2 channels, a shared EQ, and auxiliary and headphone inputs too. It puts out around 10 watts of power and is driven by a single small Peavey driver. There really isn't much to write home about with this amp, it just is what it is. Nothing really remarkable, just what is needed to get the job done.

Rhythmic, not bad in lead, and although you have to like that it's not good at all, Each one of these tastes! I gave the exact serial numbers to peavey, that should be an individual number containing the epitet, mark III version of these. So i'm actually starting to doubt the support, since you tell me that mine is the III. Pointy logo, red stripe. Oldest redstripe? Mine doesn't have a modern/vintage switch as some I've seen do but seems to have everything else the newer ones have. It is what I've seen called "Silver Stripe", I think. wheelman wrote:Mine doesn't have a modern/vintage switch as some I've seen do but seems to have everything else the newer ones have. It is what I've seen called "Silver Stripe", I think. The amp is not terribly hard to dial in. It certainly doesn't sound stellar by any means, but you can dial it in for some passable tones, though certainly not as good ad the later Peavey Rage amps like the 158. The tones are a bit flat and generic sounding... the transtube technology that was refined on the 158 was simply stellar and had a wonderful tubelike tone. This amp just seems to sound very small and compressed, making the tones a bit more lifeless to my ears.

The only things i would have a problem is that the distortion could have been better. The sound of it kinda breaks appart when you crank it up.

Anyway, I guess what I'm looking for is any other information you guys can provide me related to it, i.e. when it was manufactured, does it have 4558 op-amps or is it all discrete transistors, is it one of the more desirable units, how can it be improved, etc..? The clean channel produces a natural, clear, and pleasant sound that can easily reach every corner of the hall. Also, given the brand value, I would surely suggest it to you.There are certain factors you must consider before you buy an amplifier. Go through the following factors and then, based on your requirements, select the right one for you: Power Output

A 25W amp is suitable for church choirs and other events and any other event that occupies a similar space as a church. Anything less than 20W is suitable for solo practices within your room/house. Type of Amplifier I'm not seeing anything on the layout, bill of material, or the shematics that i can identify as the reverb tank. Pan, yes. That's another word for it?Not a solo amp for anything with drums, but fine for everyday sketching, writing, busking (where there's mains), and lending to other musos (it's cheap). I can't seem to open the latest pdf, my Phone maybe? I suppose that it matches, as i imagine everyone in this thread knows more than i do. The Peavey Rage 258 surpasses its predecessor, the Peavey Rage 158, in terms of power output. Rage 258 provides 25W power, while Rage 158 provides only 15W power. Pros
