What an amazing bargain.

I've been messing with an AT-200 this week and they are loads of fun.

I don't.

Did you see what they did to all their staff in the US?

^ What? EDIT: I mean what did Peavey do, not that I question the veracity of what you're saying

That's mental. Perfect for a beginner

Need a new amp, that is a ridiculous deal. Just don't know if the Valveking can handle 'teh br000tz' that I want from it xD

Is that RRP of nearly £1300 accurate? Can't help thinking it would be more useful to come with a cab than a guitar though.

Thanks

Couldn't resist and pulled the trigger.  Coming tomorrow.  What is there to lose?

As far as I see it - if I punt them off second hand down the line - must I'm gonna lose is £100 ........ and be able to play with new toys for a few months.

The guitar looks like it'll be a hoot.

It can, they're great budget amps

They treated their UK staff worse. I have heard many tales of turning up for work to find the facility padlocked, and to be told that they are being laid off with immediate effect... and only barest minimums paid.

I'd be interested to know if G4M are able to provide full warranty on these - ie were they bought through Barnes & Mullins (new distributor) or were these bought from the auction of bankrupt stock from after the Corby facility was closed down. 

Peavey have acted so badly toward their staff (many of whom had been there *years*) - and its clear that Hartley is living up to his reputation (not the one he tries to put forward). 

A poor state of affairs, IMHO.
