[wishtheend]

Alright, so I'm guessing a bunch of new threads will come up - so lets get everything in here.

Peavey 3120 (way curious as to how this sounds)

I know, I think the longboard adjustment is fucking ace. Plus if what they say about the left pedal feeling just like the right ... I'd be in heaven.

Hmm, I wonder how the 3120 is gonna fit into their product line - with an MSRP of $1330, that'd probably give it a street price of $1,000 to $1,100, which is pretty close to the XXX, with very similar features. Maybe a replacement?

Exactly, im quite gutted....I want it...but im no drummer. I have the regular eliminator just for pissing about but I must stop spending money on other things than guitars/recording kit!

Ableton Live 8 was announced, and it's integrated with MAX/MSP. Music creation has hit stratosphere

 

[Wolfeman]

Yeah that amp doesn't seem much different at all from the XXX/JSX..... Maybe just a new way to market the XXX.....

 

[Wolfeman]

And no presence control is dumb IMO.... Can't put $2.00 more worth of parts in there?

 

[JeffTD]

6505+ 1x12 combo = fuggin TITS!

 

[Metaltastic]

FINALLY! Maybe this will replace my HD147...

 

[Andy Sneap]

ill be down there fri and sat if anyones going by the way.

 

[Metaltastic]

FUCK, I was there last year, but not this year! I could've come and harassed you

AGREED.

It's already been confirmed the 3120 is replacing the XXX.

Also, there has been talk that the 6505 is being discontinued (leaving only the 6505+), but I've seen pics taken today of a 6505 with a new headshell and blue LED lighting inside it.

As for the 6505 112 combo, I wonder if it's US made...The Peavey site specifically states when an amp is made in the US, this combo does not indicate such.

[Melodeath]

I heard Tama Iron Cobras were getting discontinued/replaced? I need some confirmation on this before I go demand a radical discount on them from my drum store.

 

[Aaron Smith]

why would they discontinue the 6505..surely its gotta be one of their better contributers??

...and why those blue LEDs? I fucking hate blue LEDs they are way too bright and everybody is sticking them on their gear nowadays uke:
