I was looking around at some of my old gear in my basement the other night, trying to figure out what I have and what I could probably stand to replace. I came across a really, really powerful Peavey Renown combo amp that I never use because it has blown speakers and suddenly found myself reasoning this way:
In a perfect world:
- The Peavey Renown is such a great, powerful, classic amp and I would LOVE to be able to use it. I always considered this the ultimate jam-space amp and was very welcome in my guitar gear.
But there is an issue:
- It’s going to cost me more than 300 bucks to get decent, powerful enough replacement speakers. At that cost, I may as well bite the bullet and get a new amp.
Hmmm… Now, what do I have lying around?
- There is a 4×12 Peavey speaker cab that I don’t use much
- A new shiny skill saw with various other power tools that I’m itching to use
- A few pints and a Viking instinct
