"THIS IS THE BEST AMP FOR $89 YOU WILL FIND!!!!! awesome buy"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
can't beat this amps price!
Sound
pretty good sound, awesome for the clear chanel. and to go from chan. to clean [or vise versa] you don't have to press the chan. button. you can just turn your guitar down to about 2 or 3 and it stays in chan. but it sounds clean. even though I bought it from a pawn shop, [with peavy predator] it still sounds good
Features
good for the money, I got it before they put the red on it. lol =P. but it is a good buy for all the features
Ease of Use
if you are just begining to learn, this IS YOUR AMP!
Quality
good but in chan. the quality isn't all that good.
Value
not the best, but it's worth it.
Manufacturer Support
dropped many times on concrete and it still works!!
The Wow Factor
I saw all the other amps there and I got this one cause it had style and that is the best thing.

"It's The Real Deal and it's a real deal."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Features
It has 3 bands of equalization (bass, mid, treble) and separate pre- and post- controls in the drive channel. It has a couple of features that make it useful as a practice amp. The CD input is handy for playalong. This has no volume control of its own, so you need to set the level on your Walkman or iPod. The headphone jack is useful for practicing without waking up the neighbors. It automatically disconnects the speaker when headphones are plugged in.
Quality
Hey, it's made in U.S.A., which is rare in this price range, although the speaker on mine is Chinese, not the Blue Marvel

Clean is pretty good. The distortion is bad. If u want some good ditortion i would say buy a pedal.
Features
Not really anything special. Just has a clean and distortion switch. And some equalization knobs.
Quality
I havent had anything happen to mine yet i had ine for 4 years still sounds the same.
Value
Its pretty good for its price.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed them.
The Wow Factor

"Peavy Rage III Review"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
In conclusion this amp will serve anyone well and i strongly suggest it.
Sound
This is a very respectable amp for the money, and i would sugest that beginners looking for a good little practice amp come here. This is the best little amp i have ever heard for the money, the sound quality is nice.
Features
This amp has a nice vintage/modern switch which is a good feature
Quality
The overall amp is very durable and nice, the only flaw is that the switches should be more durable instead of beaing plastic, still very good quality.
Value
The best value for the money, it is better then any amp its price
Manufacturer Support
I have never had to contact the company. Thats tells you how good the amp is :)
The Wow Factor
I love the red and black colors on this amp, very appealing.

I havn't personally talked to a person from Peavey about it because the manuel is all that you need.

"Great recording and practice amp."

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Overall,great sound for the money.
Sound
The sound is surprisingly clear and loud.Ive switched the Blue Marvel with an eminence speaker and you can crank it around 6 or 7 and it doesnt distort.Ive tried other big name-brand practice amps and found them to be either too distorted or no treble.This little amp nails a quality sound on 15 watts.
Quality
If i have to mention the worst aspect it'd be the hum and hiss at lower volume levels.This amp sounds better around 4 or 5.
Value
I bought mine for around 120 i think and even then it was worth it.Sounded even better than their larger amps.
