'Peavey Special' amp '80's vintage, 120 watts and EXTREMELY loud and clean. Sounds very good through the stock Scorpion speaker, but I have tested it through a 12" BW, a 15" Jensen (original, not reissue), and an Eminence Delta Pro 12A, and it really comes to life. Did I mention LOUD, sounds as good or better than a Nashville 112 with much more headroom. Works well for six string also for those of you who double. Two button footswitch included...Update: While I had the amp disassembled to install the Fox chip upgrade, I decided to refurbish the entire unit and replace the unsightly factory tolex with Vox/Hiwatt white as shown in the photos. I will offer this amp in one of three versions:
Unloaded,(minus speaker)..........$200.00
Unit with stock Scorpion speaker..$220.00
Unit with Delta Pro 12A(sounds excellent but is fairly heavy).....................$250.00
Above prices do not include shipping.
Thank you.

| specials are twice the power of bandits. my bandit 112 is 80watts so your special is probably 160 watts. good amps. |

| Thanks Chris, the data plate reads "300 watts", so I assumed that to be correct. |

If that is a Special 130, that is the wattage from the AC side. The amp power rating is under the speaker output jacks, hope that helps!

| Ken... My amp is marked 'Special' only and does not have the '130' configuration. The value printed under the speaker outputs is 120 watts RMS. Thank you for pointing that out....Bill, I have installed the Fox chip kit and am in the process of cleaning and reassembling the amp, will post photos when completed. |

| His amp is the first design 80'-81' the second design 82' had the parametric EQ added, different grill cloth, power amp, re-named special 130 and the list goes on. I've used these since 82'. |

| This amp, though sounding great, was very cosmetically challenged when I acquired it (dirty tolex, rusty hardware, etc.)so I thought a little TLC was in order, hence the makeover....The amp has sold....Thank you. |
