I had one many years ago but I'm about to pick up another in a trade. Anyone use one? I'd like to give it a go direct with some impulses.
 
I dont know anything on this amp but i know All shall perish used one on their last record with a marshall poweramp so i am curious if any one has any experience with this amp i liked the tone on the priece of existence.

I fucking love the the tone price of existence has. Also, one of the guitarist from Nile used one through a TSL on Annihilation of the wicked which is fucking :kickass:

And for those who don't know, it's a pre 90's peavey tube pre-amp that has three channels (clean, crunch, and ultra) and 5 efx loops.

Yes, 5 efx loops.
 
I just did this a couple days ago...

It's a Peavey Rockmaster through an impulse...Direct recorded...

Was a discussion in another forum about this particular tune that provoked it...I left out a few parts...got lazy...heh

Fucking right. :kickass: Can't wait to get mine in. Should be in sometime this week.

I plan on going direct as well, so much easier and I'm more then positive that would fool most people. Any secrets behind your tone? Boost? Outboard EQ?
 
nope...no secrets...just an OD808 in front of it...then straight into the DAW...

no shenanigans at all...

It's a great sounding pre...
 
It was set like this...

Ultra Gain Channel...

pre - 5 knob in
post - 10
bottom - 6
body - 1 knob in
edge - 6

That's it...You're gonna have fun with it...I use it as my main practice rig too...I've had it for a couple years now...All I 've had to do is clean the jacks in the back once and it works like a champ...

You wouldn't have any other clips would you?
 
I believe it's similar in tone to the Peavey Ultra Plus 120 Head, that many people said was the predecessor of the TripleXXX. I think it could cop a great tone with a TS-9 and a good 6L6 tube poweramp.

like the peavy 60/60?

Which leads me to my next question any one selling a rockmaster:Smokin:
 
I dunno if the 60/60 is 6L6's, I've got the 50/50 and it's EL34's.

Yes it is.

I'm trading my VTM120 for a RM and Classic 60 (not the stereo 60/60) with 4 space rack and power conditioner. Hopefully I can move up to a VHT 2/50/2 by the end of the year.

EDIT: And how do you like the gp1000?
 
I got a second hand Peavey Rockmaster last month, it sounds amazing connected to a Peavey Classic 50/50 Poweramp, but...

...when I turn volume up, very loud, it appears a feedback noise - I'm not sure if it is called 'feedback', is like when you put a mic close to a speaker. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Even using a PodXT Pro as a gate it keeps on sounding that annoying noise.

Any idea of how to avoid it?
