It's a great amp, I used to own one and sold it because I wanted separates. I'm sorry I sold it.

any idea what watts it is i know trace watts are louder than some others but just a bit of a guide would do please

[PURPOLARIS]

Mine was 150 watt but it was way louder than that, it more than kept up with the drummer and guitarists, I don't think I ever took it past half way.

I had a GP11 4x10 combo which was 150 watts and a GP12 head which was 200 watts - I think into 4 ohms so more like 100 & 150 respectively into 8 ohm combo cabs. Both were really good amps - the combo especially had no trouble volume wise in a really loud 3 piece rock group. The only problem was it weighed a ton. The quality of both the GP11 and GP12 was light years away from the current Peavey stuff - it really was pro equipment back then and should still be going strong.

I have the Series 6 AH300 head and 4X10" cab and it really is a great sounding amp, I can't imagine the combo is much different. £300 sounds like a reasonable price for what you get.

This is class gear and if it's not been hammered - and you can carry it - I'd go for it at £300 (in fact, for the quality, £300 is cheap). They're very loud, punchy, versatile and robust combos and as others have said, this is real pro-quality kit.

I don't think you'll go far wrong with that.

thanks guys now ive a big problem im now wondering if it will be powerful enough. dont want to run out of volume and then have to get something bigger in the future(only thinking that way cos you know what drummers and guitarists can be like lol) any one got any thoughts on that?

Pretty sure you can add another cab to these if you really need it. That will give you even more oomph. The price is good for a pristine one, IMO.

I'd frankly be amazed if you ran out of power with this - it's probably loud enough for a decent sized club without PA support

cheers guys changed my mind on the combo i bought an ah400 smx head instead just need to find some cabs for it now
