I bought a new Fender Twin Reverb with two 12" JBLs back in 1975. I played it until 1978 when I sold it and bought a new Peavey Session 400 with the 15" Black Widow. The Fender amp was a good sounding amp, and I never had any trouble with it. The Peavey amp was supposed to be cleaner with less distortion for pedal steel. I do wish that I had kept the Fender amp; so that I could compare it to the new Fender amps. It took me about one year to get adjusted to the solid state sound of the Peavey over the Fender tube sound. However, I got use to the Peavey, and I believe that the Session 400 is what all other steel amps have been made to try to duplicate. Fender may have a good product out with the Steel King amp. However, in my opinion Fender is "A Day Late and a Dollar Short" as the old saying goes. The only amp that they came out with for steel guitar was back in the 1970s, and it was called the Vibrosonic; which was the same as the Twin Reverb but had a 15" JBL instead of two 12" JBLs. In 1975 both the Vibrosonic and the Twin Reverb were rated at 100 watts of power. A company has to do several things before I will spend money with them. They must make a good product, sell it at a fair price, and back up the product with a good warranty and equally good customer service. Peavey certainly has done that over the years! Hartley Peavey is no fool. He realizes what and who he has working for him in his company. I don't think you can get any better customer service than what I have received from Mike Brown and Heather Bowling at Peavey. So I guess if it does not say Peavey on the front of the amp, then it will not sit behind my steel guitar!!! |
