A buddy of mine is cleaning house and is selling his early '90s Peavey Session 400 Limited for $250. It's got the original Black Widow and is cosmetically very clean. He's used it for guitar and swears he's never played it above 2 or 3. I understand that a couple of the pots have been replaced, too, but everything works well. I'm going to try it out after work today.

Is this a good amp and a good deal for steel? I use tube amps, but am always on the lookout for a backup amp - and I have storage space...

Opinions, please!
Thanks!

Larry, I think that that is a very fair price for an amp of that caliber. Many players rely on that model as their main amp. For your information, the original MSRP was $649.99 during the early '90's.

If you have further questions concerning the Session 400 Limited or any other Peavey product, please don't hesitate to contact me here at Peavey. I can be reached toll free in the U.S. at 1-877-732-8391.

That's a real good price, for a real good amp! I bought one used, traded it to Bro. Frank Estes, and I think it's his main amp now. There are any number of Forumites who'd GLADLY jump on this for 250 bucks!

Stephen; You are absolutely correct. I worked the first set of the NTSGA Super Jam XIII on 04/01 with Frank Estes, and he sure was using a Nashville 400 Limited, and it sounded good to me! I used to use (2) of them, each with the LeMay Mod! Fine amps! "Big John" http://community.webtv.net/KeoniNui/BigJohnBechtels

Larry, I have one of those in my Peavey collection,and if I were you to be able to get that amp for that price in great condition, I'd go for it. Nice sounding amp.

Larry, you won't like it by the way, where did you say the amp was again?? Just kidding man, $250 is a heckuva deal for that amp. I've had 2 late 80's models and still have one of them and it sounds great!
