| My cousin has a Peavey Vegas 400 amp and is considering parting with it. Its always been used as a rhythm amp but I suspect it would be great for steel. Has a 15" Black Widow speaker and seems well suited for the job. I use a Peavey Stereo Chorus 400 myself. Any thoughts or opinions on its use as a steel amp or even the value? |

By far the best steel amp Peavey ever made. Wish I could buy a new one. I have had 3 over the years. Don't plan on being without as long as I play steel.

| Here's a thought... as I mentioned on the post, I use a Peavey stereo chorus 400 for my steel. One channel for steel and I use the second channel for my lead guitar work. It mulit-functions for both guitars when I gig. Would I be better served using the Vegas? If so, he might trade me. I've never tried the Vegas. Any thoughts? |

I have one now as well as several other. If you can trade i'm sure you will be happy. At least for steel . Don't see why it wouldn't make a good guitar amp as well. It has 2 channels.

I used the Vegas 400 for years I sold it and a Session 400 a few years back to Jeff Peterson when he was working at Steel Guitar Nashville
They were both great amps but I was amp poor at the time and didn't use them any more.

| For what it's worth (not much) but after I bought a Nashville 400, which was all the rage at the time, I was in Herb Remington's shop in Houston and mentioned that I was not real happy with the sound. He said I should have got the Vegas. He said that it was very similar electronically speaking, to the Nashville, but it was in a larger cabinet and sounded better. I think you will be in good shape with the Vegas, based on what Herb said. |

I have a Vegas 400 and I think it's a great amp. I use one channel for steel and the other for lead guitar. It's not light though, so I use a Nashville 112 for smaller jobs. Larry

| I still have one and if it were not for the weight, that is what I would be using all the time. |

| Thanks for the advise. I'll give it a try and go from there... if I like it, maybe he'll trade me. A couple of things I like about the chorus is the distortion feature. I use this somewhat for my lead work (when I do the heathen rock & roll stuff). And of course the "chorus effects". Guess I'm just used to the versatility of the chorus amp. Again... I'll give it a test run... thanks again. |
