Peavey Invective 120 - The best 5150?

Norrland

I recently bought a Peavey Invective 120, and am blown away.  I just wonder if anyone has ever compared it to other 5150's, Mesas, Diezels, 6505+?  I hard to believe that an amp could be better than the Invective. The Invective MH is coming soon too?

I'm assuming it's a tweaked version of the 5150?

That's what Peavey says.  I also have the 5153 LBX, which is nothing compared to the Invective.

Think it was developed with misha mansoor based on the 5150. I've never seen one in the flesh yet alone played one, but it looks really good.

Yes. 
But I believe Misha was looking to move to an Amp and Pedals Rig, on the last tour they were using the Invective amps as power amps and had the cabs onstage. 
I’m guessing there’s a bit more money for cartage in the budget these days, as evidenced by Mishas new Ferrari.
