This Ultra 120 amp is awesome with a good cabinet. I originally got my Peavey Ultra head with a crappy Peavey 4-12 cab, back in 1998ish. Anyway, later in life I put it on top of a Mesa Rectifier 4-12 cab & it sounded flippin awesome!!
The channel switching into the crunch channel by foot switch actually worked in my favor when I bought mine. The store I bought it from thought it was broken, along with the logo because it wouldn’t change colors. I bought it for $225, plugged the foot switch in and everything worked as it should.
Had a similar experience. A local record shop had one of these and had a sign on it saying “as is” and that the crunch channel button doesn’t work. Got them down to $300 out the door. Plugged my ultra foot switch into it and works no problem.
Owned one 11 years ago, however being in my early 20s and making bad choices I was forced to sell it. Got one arriving Friday, can’t wait!
How did I miss this demo?! I remember another demo you did where you compared a few other Peavey amps that included this model. Wow what a killer sound!
Its always cool to see that the Ultra Plus gets some love. I still own mine and can't imagine getting rid of it. It's sits along side my driftwood and marshall. Keep up the good work. 🤘🤘
It's got some good company
Unbelievable.. your text! I own this Ultra 120, it was my first amp! I also got the cheap cabinet that went with it with the crappy speakers! So, I ended up putting the head with a Marshall 1969 cab & played it all in my band room which was an abandoned bar called the Driftwood Lounge!
Peavey Ultra Plus 120, Marshall & Driftwood! Lol
@WittCorp
It's funny how coincidences can happen.
This has been my main amp since the early 2000's. Bought it off Ebay with chrome flames behind the grill. Looks and sounds awesome!
Ive had my ultra over 20 years now its the only amp that really dont need boosting Especially with drop tuning or a 7 string. the ultra is king Such a killer amp.
I will never again try to jam w some who runs a tubescreamer or whatever into one of these, bcuz they usually aren't smart enough to back off the gain.
Picked one up at a pawn shop 10 yrs ago for 300$, still have it. man what a cool amp and affordable. Switch doctor makes foot switches for these or they did anyways. Keep up the great content man!
Thanks dude! They're killer amps for their price range! They punch way higher!
Damn dude thanks for the tip I had a carvin v3 whit out foot switch 🤘🤘🤘
It wasn't in Michigan was it? Lol
I use a bbe sonic stomp with my ultra plus 120. It really helps open up frequencies and make the cab sound less like there's a blanket over it. I'm running a PVMS cab with two Sheffield 1290s and two vintage 30s. My secret weapon is the amp tweaker defizzerator. They're so hard to find but they're definitely a hidden gem if you can get one. Good demo sir
ya I ran a bbe into a 5150 before doing the choke mode, really helps the treble end to sound less like butt
Awesome. So now we need ultra plus vs. triple xxx comparison. Of course ultra channel with engaged boost on the ultra plus vs. crunch channel on triple XXX.
This will certainly come at some point!!
Not being able to get to the crunch channel without a footswitch is mental. Especially since the crunch channels on some of these peaveys are the best channels imo.
Sweet old girl this one
Agreed. The triumph and ultra 60 also suffer from this same flaw. Makes no sense
Only amp I regret selling was my plus. As a kid I dreamed of it (plus the lights were sick af). The city installed some new power/telecom pole and all my 100w heads picked up massive interference and oscillation. Can’t buy anything over 30 watts now. Wish they would make a mini of this. I’d be all over it…..logo better light up though 😜
Spot on regarding your Butcher comment. I still own my half stack Butcher I bought new
Have the Ultra as well.
Great video....and Riffs
Thank you my man!
Old peaveys
That's because Derrick is the DAMN MAN
This amp is so ,,speed,, and dynamic. I m lookin forward to hear JCM 900 SLX stuff
Can't wait til I get my hands on one!
I love this amp! I hope I get a chance to buy one for a reasonable price one day.
Damn how did I miss this one? I didn't expect the 7 string (sick Schecter btw) at the end but man it sounded good!
miss that guitar
Sounds killer, I played a xxx back in da days. I was using a line6 cab.
Wish I had the engl!
Yeah, the right cab really brings the sound to life!
Active EQ doesn't mean that they depend on each other, it means that the pots can boost the signal as well as cut it.
Active EQ's are nice. I think the Carvin X-100B, while nowhere near this gain level, had active knob AND graphic EQs. On the Peavey, looks like the clean channel is a standard passive EQ.
That power trip riff at 7:40!
Armageddon Blues will always be my favorite recording of theirs!
Never seen that amp before. Sounds a lot like a Marshall dsl! Great vid! I got a stretch of a request for ya Kyle. After that situation with Jarod on tone wars I would love to see you shootout an uberschall twin jet if you can borrow one and shoot it out against your rev green model. They say that the twin jet rivals the original ubers and I’d love to see if that was indeed a fluke with Jarod. I live close to sweetwater and have only heard a twin jet for maybe a minute and it was insane what I heard. Would love to see that shootout! Thanks.
I kept the Rev Green so if I can land a Twin Jet, I will absolutely do that shootout!
I see a lot of people love these, I bought one a few years back as my first big boy full sized tube head and I just couldn’t ever really jive with it. Once I bought my 5153 stealth it was like someone cleaned the mud out of my ears, also just recently picked up a Mark V and I can say the comparisons to the Mark series are not even close at least to my ears lol and yes I had it boosted with an OD808 and turned up loud for all the people with an ultra plus who wanna tear me apart, also if you buy a XXX footswitch or any 3 button switch with the Peavey 7 pin connector there are a ton of wiring diagrams online in forums and such that guide you to rewire the XXX switch to work the Ultra Plus that’s what I did hope that helps!
The reason they get compared to the Mark series is because the original Ultra amp, the Triumph, was based off the Marks at the time but with Peavey's spin on it. The evolved into something totally different though! And yes, I get these not being everyone's cup of tea, and that's totally fine!
@@belligerentamateur I will say the tone you managed to get out of it was better than anything I could ever do, I'm not that proud of myself there is always room to chalk it up as inexperience with its eq sweep.
@Jake The Ultra and Ultra + heads are very picky with speakers. Believe it or not also tube selection that is installed in the amp itself. I still own a Ultra 120 teal stripe, with Jan Phillips 5881's and Sylvania 12ax7's that were pulled from a 87' VTM 60 head. And it is still to this day one of the best sounding and the most versatile heads I own. With having 3 channels, and built in reverb. With also owning a Soldano Hotrod 100+, Mako Mak 4 pre amp, Randall RM100, Peavey VTM 120, Krank Rev Jr Pro 20 Watt. The 80's and 90's Peavey head's are the best in my opinion.
@@untoldguitarist can you get it to sound like a mark V and how?
That tone at 6:00 was *chef's kiss*
Haha, nailed it!
Boss RPQ 10 parametric eq preamp mini rack and no more mush and i get some nuno sweep in there if I want,tightens it up great and you can get thrash if you setup low frequency band.
I still own exactly that same head and cab.
You playing in Dropped Q?
I loved my Ultra Plus what a great amp.
I really think the Krankenstein/Rev was based off this amp with a sweep mode EQ.
Killer head! Wish I bought one when I had a chance.
The Tonez are giving me vibes of Take Offense
Hey man, I got mine after the price hike, just keep your eyes open!
@@belligerentamateur tones were great!
My first tube head was one of these in 1998
Do another demo where you boost the front with a Pepers Dirty Tree \m/
Hell yeah Buried Alive riffs for an amp demo! 14:45
Gotta keep it og
This was my first tube amp. Never could jive with it , likely because the original cab was awful and I probably didn’t know how to dial a tone in. But it was loud and I thought that was cool. I repainted the head cab pink then sold it. If you ever see a pink ultra plus head, that was mine!
Wasn't the head lacking, thats for sure....😎🚬
Once again, a great demo. Thanks man. If you could please, do a deliverance demo, and let us know optimal preamp tube placements, and the same with the jet city jca50. We need the expertise of thrash Damon to let us know what preamp tubes will send us into total thrash madness!! 😎😎😎
The deliverance is atop the demo cab as we speak 🙊
My first tube amp. I was in high school. Had the full stack. My buddy had the XXX. Not gonna lie. It was thiccccc
I stumbled across this amp some years ago & got a good deal on it. I used a Marshall 4x12 with it but decided to get a 5150 cab instead. I should’ve kept the Marshall 🤦♂️
I just got one of these as well as a bunch of other older peaveys before they continue to go up in price. Love your videos. How close is this to the xxx ? I wondered if it was redundant to have both? On a side note not to beat a dead horse but I may have missed it. Have you compared a 5150/6505 to the 5150 2/6505+ and how close they are to each other? I hear their is only 2-3 components difference but generally the 5150/6505 is more aggressive.
5150/6505 has more bass and gain and a slightly more sluggish response to the picking, without a boost it's more obvious but barely anybody plays these without a boost.
MAtt is pretty spot on, more upper mids in the the II/+ as well!
Bias the preamp to just under 320 Volts. No boost Needed.
I think you are on the crunch channel because the logo is yellow on that. It’s red on the ultra and green on clean. You can go ebay or reverb and get a foot switch
It defaults to Orange on the logo with no footswitch! Was definitely on the Ultra as the Ultra gain and volume knobs along with the ultra switch Is what I used to adjust volume and gain levels. the crunch channel on this amps is both thinner and brighter with less gain by a good margin than the ultra on this amp as well, you'd notice if it wre the crunch channel!
The logo looks orange which would be the crunch channel. Is the logo actually red in person?
Just found one on GC for $299 with foot switch. I couldn’t hit add to cart fast enough lol.
That thing sounds alright with the Schecter PT-7 Garza besides the feedback. The pickups might be up too high or something
Gotta figure that out
Nice! A shame you can't access the crunch channel without the footswitch. Not sure what they were thinking when they designed that, though it's hardly the only amp that has features you can't access without a footswitch.
I don't see these very often, and when I do they often are beat to hell. It's a shame it didn't get more popular, as it's definitely got a ton of gain on tap. The active EQ is also nice.
Yeah, most of the early ultra series amps feature this flaw. Seems real goofy
He is own crunch channel...red is the lead channel ...it becomes a beast on lead...
@@kevinvezina6535 Nah, it's on the Ultra channel. The amp defaults to Ultra with no foot switch, even though the light is orange. The Ultra gain, volume, and gain boost switches were what I was using to adjust the amp in this video. It's on Ultra.
@@belligerentamateur Yep this is how I remember mine working. Great amp, shouldn't have sold it. I actually lived on the crunch channel most of the time though. Ultra was super saturated.
YES! Had one in the 90s that I ran a distortion pedal into like a NOOB 😂. Your tone sounds infinitely better than mine did back then lol.
I had it paired with the ultra 4x12 too. Not that it mattered, but it was a pretty dark cab if I remember 🤔
The head can also be pretty dark
How many great amps were ruined with distortion pedals in our youth? To be young and foolish again.
@@belligerentamateur my vox my grandfather passed down to me...
Sure makes me miss one. Great amp!
How do you like that engl cab? Ola Englund did a shoot out with some heads and cabs and the engl was noticeably more agressive than the Mesa and others.
I'd say that's accurate to my experience as well. Very bright in the upper mids, super tight and punchy low end
Pretty nice amp! how loud is your master volume at ?
No idea, this was filmed a while ago. Sorry!
Killer Kyle... Kyler
My man, thank you!
Run mine with a Maxon od808 in the front through a marshall mode four cab with 75w creambacks.... it sounds phenomenal
Kyle you're a hard man to please haha
i dunno if youll read this being old video. BUT!! I HAVE this amp.. and FULL STACK PEAVEY MATCHING CABS.... The XXX cabs that are 300watts each. the big boys. I have the pedal to get it to the RED Lead gain channel. Your missing a bit and the REAL TONE from the red channel. It is quite a difference imo. Your sounds are pretty good exAMPle of this amp. This thing was a Marshall killer back in the day. No joke. I love my JCM TSL 100 FULL STACK... But this amp hangs with it. First thing guitar friends ask... Can i try the Peavey. .... than Wanna sell it? THAN GTFO lol.
The use of caps in this comment made me want to punch myself repeatedly.

P.S. if a string comes out of tune even just a little bit after just 10 minutes of playing with out 1 single hard bend up or fast shaking tremolo bend , and presumingly you did a fresh tune and strum before video,
Or not , if it's already in ... with Just aggressive picking with straight power chords not pulling up or down on any string that's not string stretch. On Non lock neck guitars especially if you are aggressive fast picking , harsh hard picking or extreme string bending 🔁 which is Metal guitar playing... when you put a string on
the guitar, and thread it through the hole of tuner peg, eyeball enough string for 4 or 5 wraps, wrap string around the top half of peg 2 times above the string hole, then bend string where it's sticking out of peg hole straight up 90 degrees , then continue with wraps going down below the string hole having at least 2 wraps below and able to start winding the tuner with one hand while holding the peg and string in place with other hand. Once tight, tune it up standard, clip off excess string with a nubb left pointing up still, pull the string upwards at middle of guitar a couple of stiff times, tune it standard again, till it holds good, then tune string up a quarter of a turn over standard do a 1/4 bend at 12th fret a couple of times, tune it back Down a notch below standard then back up to standard 👉always end any kind of tuning going up and stopping 👌to hold the pressure. Stopping on downward turn will hold half as long.
And finally tighten little screw on top of tuner nobb making it stiff to turn.
Do that method with all the strings and that sum bich will hold better than a lock with bridge tuners. after a pre-jamm session freshning guitar up tune barely having to turn a string but a bit here and there when guitar has been sitting up for a while. It'll take 20 seconds or less and hold for long time playing and when a string does start to come out while playing it'll be so slight nobody can 'really tell it and you can finish playing cause it can wait for later. 😎🚬
I have a white explorer too and I can hold the back against my side place picking hand against the body above neck pickup with string ringing out and with fret hand push against back of neck around 1st fret adding more bow dropping the note ringing out super low . Let off and it's snaps right back with strings in perfect tune evertime. And that shit is fun to do and sounds cool mainly with top E string 👉and looks Cool while you're doing it holding guitar straight up and down. Make sure truss rod is just snug tight and that's All.
My buddies who are in a band always me if they can use my rig, peavey 3120 with pedals and mesa os 4x12. They either ask can they use it for a gig, how’d I get such a tight tone or if I’m willing to sell it. I have a 6534+ that’s crushes the 3120 but its still a nasty amp. Now I’m looking for a ultra plus to add to my peavey collection
hhmmm...i dont have a foot switch for mine and i use the buttons to switch from crunch channel to ultra with no problem but i stay in the crunch channel with a maxon 808.
I regret selling mine. I do have an XXX head and an XXL now.
Ciao puoi dirmi dove collegare il pedale metal zone sulla testata grazie
The ultra channel has a red lit peavey logo I thought
It defaults to Orange on the logo with no footswitch! Was definitely on the Ultra as the Ultra gain and volume knobs along with the ultra switch Is what I used to adjust volume and gain levels. the crunch channel on this amps is both thinner and brighter with less gain by a good margin than the ultra on this amp as well, you'd notice if it wre the crunch channel!
The prices on the older Peavey stuff have gone way up lately. Like everything else I guess. Was looking into getting a Triple X but I can't pay 700$ to 800$ for one of those. The world has gone mad!
Yeah, I totally agree with this. No reason for the prices to be that high, there is no shortage of these amps!
I paid 250 for a xxx 2 years ago. Ridiculous prices now.
I paid $250 for a XXX that came with an old peavey 5150 4x12. The guy thought it was broken because of a microphonic power tube. I had it retubed and traded it for a baritone guitar and kept the cab for a couple of years
just picked one of these up. my logo is off center like yours. you know what the deal w that is?
The peavey logo is screwed to a flat black.. thing that is then stuck to the front of the amp via double sided tape. You could undo the staples for the grill on the front. But what I just did is back the two little black screws holding the peavey logo out enough that I could grab it with my fingertips pulled up a little and then was able to gently slide it back into place and just tried to press it back down. Would probably benefit from using some better adhesive but undoing that staples for the grill seems like too much work
head to head comparison between the ultra and ultra plus???
You know it man
@@belligerentamateur My man.
Is the reverb selectable without the footswitch?
Good question I don't recall
No it is not
No not selectable without the footswitch but it's still "live" so you can dial it off and on if you want ...also if on, it's on for all channels,, I had no footswitch for mine so Iade one.
Which input did you use?
High, always!
man this video really makes me want to spend 1000 euros on this amp ... donto worry not gonna do it hahahahah ... but i need an old peavey soooo baaaad
NNNNOOOOOOOO. Patience, my man. Patience!
Do a shootout with the ultra 60
Consider it done
I was just about to comment this... Kyle I really hope you do this in the future at some time! That would be great. Cause the internet doesn't really have a definitive answer as to whether these amps even differ at all tonally.
Did it ever happen
🅱️ eavey
Glad somebody caught it LOL
Dude ,i own one...your only on crunch channel...green is clean ,orange is crunch and red is lead....
I sold mine a while ago, but I thought the lights were all whacked without the footswitch. E.g they just got stuck where the footswitch was last selected?
