i got a call from the local music shop yesterday to tell me that my old peavey mace amp will be ready sometime during the week that didn't take long i almost bought a duece vt yesterday to replace it , but no need for that now the guy who phoned me said he was having trouble hearing after putting it through it's paces , he said that it was serious loud here's a wee pic , i almost forgot what it looked like myself

can't wait to get my mits on it again , i was getting a great rory gallagher sound from it before it blew the mains transformer ( whilst blasting out bullfrog blues ) , i've been told it's going to be bomb proof now (someone had put a bigger fuse inside the amp (i didn't know) and also modded a couple of things as well in the past , it's all been rectified now , cheers
Alan

Looks good Alan. Nothing beats the older amps that have been played for years. Once had a Peavey tranny amp a "Special" 120 Watts. A great amp but it got traded towards a disastrous Vox Climax combo. That turned into a fiasco as it was always blowing fuses What a nightmare that amp was! must go down as the worst i ever had and i see it didn't last long in Vox's catalog

i'm really getting excited about getting it back i'm thinking of tarting the old girl up , new tolex and speaker cloth , it looks well road worn just now mind you , thats major mojo what i do need to get is an old peavey 4 switch pedal , not often they appear over on this side of the pond , how about stateside , ? are they reasonably easy to pick up ? cheers

That's like double my Envoy 110. Looks killer. Peavey was pumping out some great little amps. I know from owning one. What year is that? The guy at the shop I bought my little Envoy from said he thinks it's an 86-88, though he isn't sure.

hi buxom , this is a 70's monster tube amp (160 watt) as used by lynerd skynerd back in the day to play stadiums without miking up the guitars into a pa system it also weighs about the same as a baby elephant , it puts out a cracking sound though , cheers

I have a classic VT and that is loud enough! The Mace must be unabelievably loud! If you turned it up I would probably hear it down here on the south coast.
I have seen replacement footswitches on ebay.com, but have not tried one of these as I still have the original.

hi guys , SA you hit the nail on the head mate , very aptly named amps , and one of the first things i done to it was put a set of castors on it and southcoast , yes i saw those , i would really like a peavey one to go with the amp but at the moment i'm watching a marshall 5 switch pedal that i can rewire to work the mace
i dropped into the shop today after work and it's been switched on most of the day (they just want to make sure alls ok) and the guy i spoke to on the phone plugged in a nice gibby 335 into the normal channel and was admiring the sound , i told him to wait a second and plugged it into the automix input and adjusted a few of the controls , his face was a picture , he didn't know that you could have the 2 channels on at the same time , he was even more impressed with the sound then i should have the bad boy home by the weekend , looking forward to it

Hi Alan,youcertainly have a gem of an amp there,the Mace and Deuce were killer amps . I had the honor of owning the first Deuce that came into the province.When I bought the Deuce in 1976 I tried a Fender Twin and an Acoustic bt the Deuceblew both of them out of the water.It was the model with the tremolo-the phaser model came out a couple of years afterI used it gigging for years and I was the only one in the band who didn't need to be mic-ed.I kick myself daily for selling it when I got my Marshall-don't ever be as reckless as I was and hang on to the beauty that you have there.Enjoy it fully
