0175westwood29 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 My love for old peavey gear is getting out of hand! this is super clean, I’m gonna be taking it out of the flight case as that adds a lot of size and weight but can’t wait to plug this in alongside my 2x215 peaveys and my custom 215 when one popped up I had to grab it!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Soar Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I had one in the late 80's, totally rediculous and unless you can bi-amp them really inefficient, still want one.😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one and used an Acoustic 220 (my immediately pre-Boogie rig). Low notes were great but the sound just disappeared further up the fingerboard.

Japhet Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Gigged one of these for years. Mine was 4 ohm with Black Widow drivers. Awesome cab and not too bad to move around on casters. Proper trouser flapping ability. It used to feel like someone was kicking the back of my legs stood in front of that 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giffro Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Bought my Peavey MKIV head and 1820 cab in the early 80's and gigged well into 2000's. Great rig and still is. 18" Black Widow 2x10" Scorpions. Thunderous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Despite what I said earlier, I always remember looking at the pair of Peavey Max heads, each on top of a 3620 cab, on the cover of Live Alive by Stevie Ray Vaughan and thinking 'I'd love to play through that'.

bartelby Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I love old Peavey cabs. But I know I'd end up having to get them all, so it's best to not start... 😃 A 3620 under my CTM-300 would be a wondrous rig... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Ah, Black Widows. I replaced the nasty stock drivers in my Bassman 2x15 cab (one blew and the other didn't look too clever) with BWs in the 1980s. Needed a Volvo estate to get it around, but sounded epic with a Trace AH350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDaddy Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 The Peavey Black Widow seems to be a rite of passage 😆 My 1x15 was definitely a 2-person job to get up stairs. Sounded great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I’ve had a few peavey black widow setups and apart from the weight being an issue they punched the lungs out of people in the audience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
