Post by Sloan »

Dude,
I can't figure out if the Peavey Windsor is awesome or if it sux.
I've heard that it's basically like a JCM800

Every MF review says it sucks, i can't trust them nigz.

I heard an awesome quad-tracked metal sample, but need shortscale exprnz.e.

I didn't like the Windsor studio (thread about it somewhere). I'm sure the head is a whole different animal, though.

120Watts and no clean sounds, I have no idea how they managed to fuck it up.

Pros:
- Cheap
- Classic Overdrive

Cons:
- Zero fucking clean tone

I know that's really the only thing that bugs me so far is the "no clean tonz" claim. I enjoy volumeknob cleanups.

There is no volume clean ups. None at all.
