Peavey Transtube Supreme 100w head

budda · 02-17-2008, 09:27 PM

i personally prefer peaveys to most SS gear i've heard and used.

I'd get the supreme. i think they're also built in the USA? the XXL is USA made afaik.

can you borrow a cab from anyone?

I will just buy a 1 speaker or 1x2 until I find a good cab?

locate any old 8ohm 112 cab yup

I am just waiting for my tax money now, but a Crate GT3500H just came up for the same price. Would it be better?

350 watt Crate amp head for sale. It's less than a year old and is in pretty good condition. There are a few chips in the tolex on top, but nothing major.
It has 3 channels, built in spring reverb tank, and a 3 button footswtich.

Those have the same preamp as an Ampeg VH140-C which is the mack daddy of all solid state amps. If you're playing metal that beast will suit you well

I like to play every kind of music. Would it be better sounding then the peavey?

Actually, it's my Crate that's for sale.

With an 8 ohm cab, you'll probably get more volume out of the Crate for sure, but from the looks of it you might get more tonal options with the Peavey. (ie: the 't.dynamics knob, the mid scoop switch, etc..'. At the same time however, if you throw an EQ pedal into the fx loop of the Crate, it can be a gain machine. I've never heard one of the Trans. Supreme heads (I used to own the Supreme XL) but what I can tell you is that the Crate definitely DOES have enough gain for metal.

Are you planning on selling a cab too? I am looking for which amp will have a better sound on the clean channel, and that can't take the low of the seven string.

I'd get the peavey over the crate, but that's because i have spent time with a bit of peavey gear, and crate don' impress me much.

Overall I'd agree with you, but the Crates that are based on the old Ampeg designs tend to kick major quantities of ass
