As in signature: Royal 8 modded with a 1X10 cab and Celestion Tube 10 speaker; cyclops Envoy with Hughes & Kettner/Eminence speaker (very Fender type sound, high mid emphasis, sounds GREAT with the Envoy head), Studio Pro 40 with Celestion 70/80, Studio Pro 112 Red Stripe with Bugera Vintage 30 speaker. BTW, I am running the SPs a lot on the low gain input, like the sound a LOT. Used the Envoy with no EFX at rehearsal other day after a Zoom MFX meltdown, still sounded fine.

Peavey Gear: Red Stripe Studio Pro 112 (with Bugera Vintage speaker), Valveking Royal 8 (with Celestion Tube 10), Bandit 75 (with Jensen Mod 12/70), Dirty Dog.

I currently have
A Penta head and cab (Wow! What a versatile, all-around rock amp!)
A 6505+ head
A Wiggy head and cab (also a very versatile amp, but I use a pedal for distortion). I also like running some of my favorite rack preamps into its power amp input sometimes.
A XXX 100watt combo that the previous owner switched power amp tubes to EL34's. What an amazing rock and metal amp!
A XXX 4-12 cab that I picked up a few years ago for under $300.

Earlier this year I sadly parted with my Supreme XL head. I liked it, just needed cash.

Added a red stripe Studio Pro 112 to the stable.

And I forgot to mention before but the first Peavey amp I ever owned was a Basic 40, rhino hide solo series 112 bass amp. It was given to me around 1988 or 1989, and it was already well used by the time I got it. I don't even remember what happened to that thing... Probably still going strong.

I have a Delta Blues 210 in black tolex (easier to clean). I bought it second hand and have had it for almost 2 years now. Great amp for my needs, but a bit too loud for home practice, som I am looking for an extra practice amp with similar sound (if that exists) at lower volume.

I use both the clean channel and the drive ch, most of the time without any extra pedals or effects. I love it's bluesy tone, combined with real punch and enormous clean headroom. My main guitar is a G&L ASAT Classic, which is like a hotter Tele with a bit less sparkle than the Fender Co. variety. To me, the combination is the ideal roots&blues sound, with both channels, and the amp responds nicely to the ASAT's volume and tone dials. When turning down the guitar tone dial, guitar volume to 10 and setting the pre to 4-6, the DB sounds almost like a humbucker. Nice.

My second and third guitars are a G&L Tribute legacy HB and a Yamaha APX500 thinline acoustic - both are well handled by the DB. I am also learning blues harmonica (slowly) and, well, the tone is fantastic through the amp.

I use the reverb almost all the time, around 4-6' not more. I love it's natural openness. I have also come to like the tremolo, after a while. Not so much my style, but it's better than the trems I have in my effect pedals. The amp has also a boost switch, which to me sounds quite bad.

When I sometimes want more sparkle and treble dirt, I plug in my Blackstar HT Dual tube distortion pedal up front, which can also act like a booster. It gives me all the options I want for crunch, overdrive and raw dirt without sacrificing the qualities of the DB.

I have the original Blue Marvel 10" speakers, never felt the need to try something different. It can be really bassy while tight in the lower end. The tubes were changed just before I bought the amp, honestly I haven't checked which ones.

I have a few different Peaveys right now:

Studiopro 112 (redstripe, block logo)
Special 212 (redstripe, pointy logo)
Audition 110 (silverstripe)
Classic 50 410 (tweed)
Supreme XL head
XXL head

The only one that doesn't see much use is the Audition but I've moved it into my studio so perhaps it'll see more use going forward.

Still rocking the Classic 30 almost every night. Just me.. no band
The Classic 50 is covered and collecting dust...
May need to break it out for a change of pace.

Rockmaster preamp and Classic 60/60 power amp which is my main amp currently(and will be for the time being, I love it). My first amp was an Audition 110; I haven't owned it for a long time though. I also had a VTM120 for a while. Loved the thing, unbelievably loud though. If it didn't get stolen I'd still be using it.

I currently have only three Peavey amps; a 1992 Classic 50 212 loaded with EV12L's, a Bravo 112 loaded with an Eminence Swamp Thang and a completely stock, late 80's Renown 400. I gig alot, and almost exclusively with the Renown 400. I get the powerful, tastefully rich clean tones I need with my Tele. It's definitely one of the finest amps I have owned in all my many years of playing. Great tone and reliable thru and thru. It's sorta like a Twin on steroids....only better, imo. I own many amps, but my Renown 400 is my normal go-to amp these days.
