    Sweet, Skynyrd used these amps for a while. I tried with my old Marshall’s and Fender amps to pull out some Skynyrd sounds and notta, didn’t get them, I had a 65 for a while so I pulled it out of the woodwork and bingo, Skynyrd tone all the way, not to mention some good old rock tones.

    Enough said. 0 thumbs down. Im excited im getting my deuce amp today in perfect shape just serviced for $200. What a deal. Ive always loved the classic tube tone. I always thought to reach that i had to brake my wallet and buy a Marshall. After plenty of research i feel like ive found what i was looking for. 2x12 plenty of headroom, tubes, durable made in the usa and all the watts i need. Try getting a Marshall that fits all that for $200. Still love Marshall. But this will be just fine!

      Thank you very much :) Yes I have been very impressed since I've started using it. I acquired a road case for it and I feel like it would prob now survive a nuclear blast. These things are built like tanks. Just like any amp, it requires some time to get familiar with, but overall it does jazz to blues to southern rock relatively easy.

    • @Vaughn6886
      @Vaughn6886  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Usually have the mids and treble around 3 o’clockish, the bass around 8 or 9 o’clock, pre gain up around 2-3 o’clock. Roll the volume back on the guitar for rhythm and clean. It depends a lot on the speakers in the amp, but that’s a decent place to start with these amps. Best to use your ears. 👍

    I just ordered one online comes with foot switch and cover got it for $299.00 and just got the new Epiphone Firebird. I'm driving semi OTR but I should be home when it comes in. Can't wait sooo excited. What settings are you using I'm a huge Skynard fan. I've never played a Duce but aways loved Peavey amps. Anyone have any tips on getting the Skynard sound or any other tips about the amp?

    • @Vaughn6886
      @Vaughn6886  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Use the Pre Gain as your drive, up around 2-3 o clock. These usually have a lot of Bass, so I usually keep it low around 9 o clock. (Maybe a bit more if you have a Firebird) Depending on what speakers you have, I keep the mids and highs up a good ways. You may need to pull them back a bit if you have Black Widow speakers. The main thing is to tinker with it a while and don’t be afraid of extreme settings. The Post Gain knob will be your overall volume. Good luck!

    LS used Peavey Mace amps. 160 watt, the Duece is 120 watt. The Mace has six 6L6 vacuum tubes.The Duece has four 6L6 tubes.

    • @Vaughn6886
      @Vaughn6886  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      James Krys correct! From what I can tell, aside from the power section and the extra watts, the circuits from the mace VT and Deuce VT are the same. LS actually used the previous Mace version that wasn’t the “VT” model. But for my needs the VT circuits are close enough to what I need, and since our PA’s have evolved since the 1970’s, I don’t need the full 160 watt. (Or really the 120 watt for that matter, I just wanted the circuit that would get me close to the sound) :)

    • @Vaughn6886
      @Vaughn6886  6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      They very well could have! I know that Peavey didn't make the Deuce VT until 1978 which was obviously after the "original" Skynyrd, so they def could have used them in later versions. If you look on scribd (www.scribd.com/doc/23991124/Lynyrd-Skynyrd-Allen-Collins-Equipment-History) (www.scribd.com/doc/23991126/Lynyrd-Skynyrd-Gary-Rossington-Equipment-History) you can find a list of all the gear that all the members of Skynyrd ever used in their career with Skynyrd and after. (They got the info for the book from Ed King and their guitar tech) I don't see a mention of a Peavey Deuce in there, it appears they relied heavily on the Mace 320t.

    • @Vaughn6886

      I had the gain turned up pretty high here, I think these amps really shine with their spanky clean sounds. Most country guys in the 80s were using Peavey’s. (Some steel players still are) Some say they are Twin killers. Big clean sounds to be had with the gain backed off a bit.

      @@tommypricemusic ah gotcha, well keep in mind there were some circuit changes from the Deuce to Deuce II to Deuce VT. I’m not as familiar with the Deuce II (it was before the VT I think) but most all Peavey amps from the same eras have the same circuitry. (VTs will have similar gain strictures, early T series will all have the same gain structure, etc) Most all use 6l6 tubes and will have solid clean tones. You will have fight with it a bit to find the tones, but they are there. I’d say play it and see if it speaks to you, otherwise it’s always hard to judge how much work a used amp will need.

    • @Vaughn6886
      @Vaughn6886  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      On both channels I had the bass turned pretty low, between 0-2. Treble was high, around 7-8 (2:30-3 o clock). Mids on second channel are just past noon. Gain on both channels was around 2:30-3 o clock. Volumes were between 2- 4 on the dial (8:00- 10 o clock) One of the channels has a bit more bass and less volume (If i remember correctly it is the effects channel) so I had the bass all the way off and the volume up a bit more. Get the clean, rhythm, and lead tones by adjust the volume knobs on the guitar. Hope that helps!

    • @Vaughn6886
      @Vaughn6886  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Joe S in this clip I was plugged into the automix channel and you can see me switching between the Normal and Effects channel. I prefer the effects channel and will play through it if I don’t want to use the footswitch. (This Deuce is the VT series, not the earlier 240t, so it doesn’t have series and parallel inputs) When I hit the combine button on the footswitch, the VT runs both channels in parallel. (The VT doesn’t have the series capability as he 240t does) (parallel is like running a patch cable with two channels at once, series runs the channels into each other like two pedals). The back of the amp will have outputs for external speakers. Make sure your ohms match up for total load and you can plug a cabinet into those.

    • @Vaughn6886
      @Vaughn6886  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The volume in the room wasn't loud enough to be played in a band setting. (could talk over it in a raised voice) In a band setting, the volume is usually at 3 (10:00) or above whereas this video and bedroom prac is usually around 2 (9:00). I would highly recommend getting a small fan and have it blowing on the tubes no matter what volume. It gets very hot back there otherwise.

    • @Vaughn6886

      On either channel, I'm turning the Pre knob up relatively high (2 o'clock or higher). That will set the desired amount of breakup you want, then use the Post knob to adjust the volume higher or lower.

    • @robertgilmore5496
      @robertgilmore5496 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thankyou, I will give that a try. I take it you keep the bass low and treble high? Im using a Tele so Ill have to play around with it a bit. Thats a really decent Skynyrd tone you are getting, what guitar do you use?

    • @Vaughn6886
      @Vaughn6886  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, for me the bass is lower than the treble. They fluctuate a bit based on the room, but the bass has always been lower. Currently I've been playing a Gibson Explorer and a Les Paul, both with alnico ii magnets, looking into getting a Firebird though. With a Tele, you'll likely be turning the bass up and the treble down a bit. Thank you, it's not an exact Skynyrd tone match but it's close enough for me for the time being. Their live tone and album tone was quite a bit different. Biggest thing that I learned trying to imitate it was turning the gain down. Best of luck!

    • @Vaughn6886
      @Vaughn6886  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh yea I subscribe to Tom's page, he has some good stuff on there. I considered going the XT live route after seeing his videos, which I may end up doing, but I like the feel and sound of traditional amps vs Tom's setup. The deuce is 120 watts but it also has a master volume. A traditional plexi will not have a master volume, which is why I think the 20 watt 2061 would be what I need since I'll have to crank the volume pretty high. Another thing to consider is that I've been running the deuce in stereo with various other amps to create an overdubbed effect when we play live. (Since I'm setting up two amps I'd prefer they be small, instead of a 4x12. I'm looking to pair the 2061 with a 1x12 cab) I have a TC mimiq pedal that creates that effect so it fattens up the sound and creates the overdubbed sound that is closer to the album.
