Mine was a 2*12 combo - I picked it up second hand cheap because my old amp got stolen, and I needed something fast.  It was built like a tank.  Sadly, it also sounded like one.

But the crowd was blown away! 😆

But some of those early Peavey guitar amps back in the day were monsters. Such as this Musician III

I still have two PV guitar amps that work. A PV Decade that is still kicking after 40 plus years. You could plug into the #1 input and plug a foot switch halfway into the #2 input and switch between both channels. It had a great distortion sound for practice. I would use it in the back room to warm up before we went on stage and in between sets. And a PV Rage 158 that worked well too. I bought a Carvin 10" speaker and built a cab for it to use with the Rage but it never really sounded as good unless it was with the 8" it came with. Same with the Decade.

And I still have a PV 130 Monitor amp that just will not die!! It got buster one night in a surge (along with some other PV 800's) and we drove to Meridian Mississippi to have them fixed. We walked in and put them all on the counter, told them what happened, and they said give us a few minutes and we will have ya fixed up. One guy came from the back asking where did we get that PV 130 Monitor amp. He said it was some of the first stuff PV ever put out!! And was really pleased that we were still using it. It had a VU meter on the front, but that was broke off when I got it. We asked him if he could fix that and he said  don't worry about that. It will work fine without it!! LOL!  And it has... all these years. I can't even find a pic for it. It's just a mono amp with two inputs, two outputs, and has one big volume knob on front in the middle.  

A friend of mine has a Peavey Mace and it sounds great.
