my acoustic, yamaha FG-402. had it for about 7 years or so now, its still mint, lived its entire life in a proper case, has a really nice sound. my MiM Fender Strat, quite an early model, MN1 code which makes it 91 odd, Mexico only started making in 1990. guitar bling ? genuine fender F plate I bought off ebay as the plane jane silver one looked rubbish ? my Fender FM65R and Boss DS-1 pedal amp looks tiny compared to my housemates bass amp ? pedals, left to right, Ibanez Tube Screamer (TS10, not TS9 or 808 unfortunately), Boss DS-1, Behringer Ultra Phase Shifter and Ibanez Stereo Chorus. bummed I sold this actually, my Hohner Les Paul copy, had a nice sound but after sleeping in a case for 5 years the neck went a bit weird.. plan on hotrodding the strat, new pickups (no clue what yet) and a few mods off http://www.ratcliffe.co.za ?

Alan Ratcliffe wrote Happy new amp day! Nice find - the Tweeds are good lookin' and sound great too.

Cut off the US style plug (where the earth comes from a pin on the socket side) and fit a normal 15A plug and you're golden. Common thing with Peavey - I don't know why the importer doesn't swap them out 'cos they're usually humming when you try them in a shop.

Just lobbed off the two prong and fitted a std plug and its mucchhh quieter now, thanks 8)

Amp was secondhand and built in 2004 according to a sticker on it, thats looong out the window ?

You got a sweet amp there, and I think the crunch box is going to sound really good through it. Have you run your pedal board through it?

@ Nick

These retro style amps always look good.
Good stuff, I am sure it sounds good as well.

Just one thing - looks like you lost a screw on the right side of the amp ?

Uh oh, that setup is getting quite sweet. Every serious guitarsist needs a muff

nick

TS9, the in/out jacks were horrible for wiring up on a pedal board and Ive always found it a bit harsh, the ts9 is smoother (I think anyway) 8)

MIKA-the-better-one

yeh, tell me does the ts9 have a big mid hump or is it pretty transparent

I think it's just the lighting. It's completely opaque. Also it's kind of flat on top, appart from the knobs.
