Peavey Ranger 212 all tube Amp for sale in Dewey, Arizona

$275

Peavey Ranger 212 all tube Guitar Amp,featuring an all tube power amp that kicks a bodacious 120-watts into a pair of Peavey's vintage-style "Blue Marvel" 12-inch speakers. The Ranger's dual-channel circuitry is set for classic clean-and-dirty work, and excellent reverb and vibrato effects are on tap as well.

The clean channel lived up to its designation, remaining free of any distortion through most of the volume knob's rotation. The treble control demonstrated strong resonance around 2.5kHz, and dominated the tone-shaping duties.

The lead channel's pre and post controls shape its overdrive voicing. Even at its cleanest (pre: 1, post: 10), this channel's fatter voicing and desire to spank came through. Upping the pre to 5 and backing the post to 4 coaxed some grind from the Ranger, but in this twilight zone the highs were harsh and "gargly" and simultaneously generated excessive subharmonic distortion. Setting the pre to 8 and the post to 2 produced much more realistic and full distortion, with a bright and scooped crunch that was particularly good for over-the-top soloing or playing sheets of saturated chords.
Peavey's addition of resonance and presence controls to the power amp section is a nice touch. The resonance adds a rounder bottom end while the presence helps to control the extreme highs, and both become more useful as the overall volume increases. With a switchable effects loop and 120 watts at your disposal, the Ranger is a hefty hunk of versatile amp.

Foot switch included.
