A friend said that only higher end companies keep records of serial #/date of manufacture. Peavey's site, unlike other companies, have no mechanism to check this. Anyone any rough guides near to hand? BTW, I hope I don't sound like I'm running this amp, or Peavey down in any way. This amp is a life saver and as previously mentioned, the sound coming out of it is fantastic.

I've used the search function on the Peavey. Help identifying Peavey amp. Due to companies changing hands as they do, records of serial number can be hard.

This is from the Peavey website. It indicates a date between 2001-2003.

I used this amp back then for a chicken fried rock cover band I was playing with. Skynyrd, ARS, Marshall Tucker etc. I read somewhere that Skynyrd even used it on some of their recordings. Best thing I did for this amp lately was to toss the original speakers and install a set of Eminence 'Texas Heats'.

I'm still mystified on age, power, etc. #614258 - 01/10/04 01:16 PM Re: Help identifying Peavey amp? MP Hall of Fame Member Registered: 06/11/01 Posts: 5200 Loc: Brighton, UK. Thanks for all the info folks. I think i should have gave a little more information!

I found a date from another source indicating 2003. They Fury IV is a nice instrument! 'Offset double cutaway solid body, 21-frets, Quilted Maple top, solid maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, two VFL internally-active pickups, 3-band active EQ, single master volume, mid, bass, and treble controls, satin chrome hardware, available in Trans. Green, or Sunburst finish, 34 in. 2001-2003' There is further info available from Peavey: Apr 10, 2014 .

1502-4 used in NV's 'til around '85 and 1501's, in various models, from then on. That spider web is a great sounding speaker though, just no support available if you need parts. From: Denver, Colorado USA Posted 11 Oct 2011 10:17 am From a 'white paper' by Mike Brown (Peavey). 'In the early 1980’s, we introduced a new line of amplifiers called the City Series. In this series, we offered two steel amps, i.e.; the Vegas 400 and Nashville 400.

You can contact Peavey's customer service.they should be able to help. Or, if the speakers are original, take one out and look for the date code stamped on the magnet. If it doesn't have any special Peavey loudspeakers (Scorpions, Black Widows, etc.) they're probably made by Eminence and will have a date code in the from of 67-YYWW or 67 YYWW where YY is the last two digits of the year and WW is the number of the week (01-52). The cabinet will be no older than the speakers inside of it. If it's a tolex covered 2x15 with aluminum stripes running up the side it's probably from the '70s.

Use an online resource such as 'Harmony Central.' Scroll through the Peavey amplifiers page and click on the link of your amplifier's model name.

When I bought this amp in the eighties it was being touted by Peavey as the poor mans Twin. As far as the clean sound goes I think they got it pretty close. Not that it sounds like a twin but it's certainly as clean as one. Lots of headroom.

I believe it was in '91. It had no effects loop, but I had one added before I picked it up from the store. I have no idea why I thought this would be needed. I've used it maybe twice. Anyway, as for the tubes, on mine I remember it having the tube numbers labeled on the chassis.

I'm asking out of sheer nosiness, the amp and I were re-united for the paltry sum of £40. I only bought it as a stop gap and backup. BP Island #614256 - 01/10/04 12:50 PM Re: Help identifying Peavey amp? Platinum Member Registered: 02/20/03 Posts: 1432 Loc: Emerald Isle.

A to z mp3 songs free download bollywood. The first digit of the prefix was a number, indicating what year in the decade the piece was manufactured. That was followed by a letter, which IIRC ('If I Recall Correctly,' in case you were wondering) indicated the type of gear in question.

Read the amplifier technical specifications to assist you in dating your amplifier. Use an online resource such as 'Harmony Central.' Scroll through the Peavey amplifiers page and click on the link of your amplifier's model name. Read articles, reviews, and view specifications about the amp's performance and history. Use a book such as 'The 3rd Edition Blue Book of Guitar Amplifiers' by Zachary R. Amplifiers are listed in alphabetical order.

It sounds so much bigger. I also know what you mean about wasting a high end tone (bass wise) through a low end amp. But I've played this thing all day, and I'm so surprised with what I can get out of it! Thanks everyone for all info passed on. I'm still unsure about the year it was built. A friend said that only higher end companies keep records of serial #/date of manufacture. Peavey's site, unlike other companies, have no mechanism to check this.

Teahead, what's the game, we're in the same!$&%ing band! You've seen and heard the amp! For others who can be more helpful, I've just done a forum search (ready for flame war, yeah I should've checked that first) and I've seen, from another post, that apparently Peavey are still making this model.

Guitar, bass; tube, solid state. We love amplification. Amplifier type overview.

Click to expand.It's the Peavey VT Classic 2X12. I've owned this one since it was new in the early eighties.

That's what they were putting in the DataBass 1x15 combo amp back in 'the day'. The DataBass was a bad ass little amp. That thing could destroy worlds with it's sheer volume and low-end goodness.

Hi folks, I've just been re-united with an old Peavey amp that I used to own. I've been told by a somewhat unreliable source, that it's over thirty years old, and that it was previously owned by the bass player of the Stiff Little Fingers. I've visited the Peavey site and can't find any info on this amp. So here's all I know: Peavey TNT (tm) 130, Serial # 34 - 01659990. Built under U.S patent # 4,318,053. Any information regarding age, wattage, etc would be very welcome! I'm asking out of sheer nosiness, the amp and I were re-united for the paltry sum of £40.

I have used & abused it more than I care to admit for almost 20 years. It has NEVER let me down. I do plan to start addressing some issues that have always bothered me this winter. I'll get into that another time though.

Overdrive sucks with out pedals. (Just my opinion). (a) Automix both channels (b) One on board effect, I think it's a flanger. Not all that impressive. (c) Foot switch controls channels, auto mix, and reverb. (d) Spring reverb.

A friend said that only higher end companies keep records of serial #/date of manufacture. Peavey's site, unlike other companies, have no mechanism to check this.Let's get real here.

Use a book such as 'The Peavey Revolution: Hartley Peavey: The Gear, The Company and the All-American Success Story' by Ken Achard. Search through the photographs of Peavey amplifiers from the 1950's to present.

The music shop couldn't get shot of the thing. My Ampeg's on the blink AGAIN so I'm back to the Peavey. Alex, I know what you mean about the amp's ability to throw it's weight about, I felt unsure even asking if the 130 meant 130 watts.

50W - Hybrid/ Solid state pre/ 2X 6L6 power amp. Stock speakers unknown. No info I've been able to find. Awesome clean channel.

You've seen and heard the amp! For others who can be more helpful, I've just done a forum search (ready for flame war, yeah I should've checked that first) and I've seen, from another post, that apparently Peavey are still making this model. I've used the search function on the Peavey site, but it came up 'no results'. The amp looks like it has one 1 by 15 speaker. Does the 130 indicate that it's 130 watts? It sounds a lot bigger than that?

The amp has came back into my destructive hands after spending roughly a year in the local music shops window. I blew the speaker, sent it in for a touch of restoration, (I haven't taken off the front panel yet to check what sort of speaker has been fitted) bought a 'better' amp (a hypochondriac Ampeg svt3 pro) and decided to sell the Peavey.

Peavey Guitar Serial Number Search

From: Durham, New Hampshire, USA Posted 12 Oct 2011 12:21 pm Actually, I think someone purposefully scratched all the silver off the grill strips (go figure). The amp was missing a chassis strap when I got it so I threw on a black one I had lying around. And here's the low down from Mike Brown on the speaker, From this post of 2002:: Quote: From our records, the flat magnet type Black Widow was the very first version back in the '70's.. Hartley Peavey designed the Black Widow speakers and they were so well received by the buying public that the line expanded to other applications in the Peavey product line. After the first 'flat magnet' series(which was actually called Spider/Peavey, the BW evolved into the Super Structure series of the early '80's.

I am fairly confident those speaker lines did not exist then. Also note that the current Sheffield line available includes woofers (sometimes several) in 15, 12, 10, and 6.5' sizes.I'd wager that it's a Black Widow speaker? That's what they were putting in the DataBass 1x15 combo amp back in 'the day'. The DataBass was a bad ass little amp. That thing could destroy worlds with it's sheer volume and low-end goodness. I would also assume that the '130' in the name implies a 130W power amp section. I'd imagine it does quite well, even with raging guitars and drums.

A friend said that only higher end companies keep records of serial #/date of manufacture. Peavey's site, unlike other companies, have no mechanism to check this.Let's get real here. Your friend needs to hire his sphincter out on the freak show circuit.

During the 'SS' period of time, we changed over to the KEVLAR cone material in the early to mid '90's, with the exception of the 1501-4 ohm BW speaker for steel. The magnet look and design of the BW has changed through the years, but the specs have continuously improved with every series. From: Oakdale, California Posted 12 Oct 2011 3:17 pm I had one of those spider web 15's at one time. I have no idea where I got it. My Session 400 had a JBL as did my Session 500. I may have put a JBL in the 500 and that's where the spider web speaker came from. Can't remember for sure.

From: Louisville Ky Posted 11 Oct 2011 9:14 am Got a pic? Might help to narrow down the era of production.

This amp is trashed and someone painted the back of the speakers black. I can still see serial/model numbers but that's it.

• What tubes should this amp run? It's got el34's in it now. • No original footswitch so I bought a replacement and I noticed that the reverb doesn't switch cleanly; sometimes I hear an artifact of the reverb after I switch. Sometimes I hear a fraction of a second decay of the reverb even when it is switched 'off' from the footswitch.

The Nashville 400's are really good amps. Micky Byrne U.K. Sho-Bud and Carter universals. Nashville 400 and Evans Fet 500 both in split cabs. Last edited by Micky Byrne on 11 Oct 2011 9:14 am; edited 1 time in total.
