Best tone monster Ive ever owned (and I own or have owned a bunch of Marshalls) was an old Mace....wish I still had that bad boy. SIX 6L6GC's loud as hell and tone for days!

I'm surprised to hear you say it's not built to repair. I've never had trouble breaking into a Peavey to get at the components. My Firebass 700 is a beast, but the tech at Peavey that talked to me over the phone knew exactly what to do, had the part number memorized, and told me exactly what was going on.
I used to sell Peavey stuff in the late 70s and 80s and would cringe when I sold some unsuspecting guitar player (sometimes a generous title...) a Deuce or a Mace, as I thought they were sub-standard amps, compared to the Fender and Marshall amps of the same time. But, they were less than half the price. I sold a Mace stack once simply because it was taller than the Marshall. New Peavey is light years ahead of old Peavey. Especially the new Peavey stuff designed to replicate old stuff...

Just a funny pic. I just sold my Century bass head, sounded killer but i wasn't usin it. I shouldn't even say this but i got talked out of the SF Champ my big brother gave me as my first amp by a "friend" in trade for a Rage! It had built in distortion! I know man, i was 12.What 's that, about 200 watts of bad tone ......?

Which Peavey are those? The reason I ask is because my sister in law just found a Peavey that looks exactly like the one in the picture - she found it at a pawn show in Canton Texas (about 45 from Dallas) for 9 bucks. HA! So, she picked it up for me (she sent me a pic via text, so I can barely see it), thinking for 9 bucks, why not?
Thought it would be fun to tinker with.

Those amps are Peavey Decade Solid State with Saturation effect - one input socket for Normal, the other for Saturation overdrive effect, 4558 op amps I believe as per Tube Screamer.
A 10 Watt early 80s amp with an 8 inch speaker and a 12v socket on the back so you can run it from a car battery with the right cable !!!!

Excellent! Thank you! Should be fun to play around with and test my lousy Tech skills!
I had one of those Decades, bought it brand new in the Fall of '82. Indeed, I used to plug it into the lighter socket and play in the bed of the '74 Ranchero......
Apparently ,I have a long history with Peavey ,something I keep suppressed deep within my psyche
New Years gig with Jimbo Mathus '13/14 somewhere in Mississippi,with combo version of a MKIII
BTW, the Peavey quote in my sig ,as a couple of y'all figured out , is
from Joan Jett in the cinematic epic , LIGHT OF DAY.

I brought a peavey solo combo , a battery 10 watts or 15 watts with a electric adapter, an amp that has a mic channel and a guitar/instrument channel , and I use it when its late and it does have a nice clean channel , so I have become a peavey fan over time and its great if you need a micro pa too - I did busk with it once at a vw festival, and played guitar and sung tru the mic channel and it worked brilliantly
it is heavy tho and has 8 off D batteries in it , but they do last forever
