30W solid-state 1x10 practice and small-club combo from Peavey's late-'70s/'80s Backstage line, built in the USA on the usual chrome-chassis, black-tolex Peavey formula. Pre-gain into post-gain gives a hard, grainy transistor saturation that only really arrives with the gain well up; clean tones are stiff and bright with a pinched upper midrange rather than Fender warmth. A rugged, cheap workhorse rather than a hi-fi amp. Discontinued.
