i have a Mark IV
ICBM explained it in a post a while back and once I realised where the EQ was in the signal path it became a lot easier
still far too many options though
Mark 1 tone stack seems very simular. It lacks an EQ for post drive, bit adding ine in the loop brings the amp right up to date.
I'm actually much happier without the channels. Big issue I had with the Mark V is having the clean (crunch really) too different in character than the drive.
My band, Red For Dissent
Did anyone on here buy it?
I'd stupidly sold a prowler a few years back, they're bloody hard to find, people don't tend to sell them because, they're loud, compact and sound absolutely immense. They were part of the 90's/00's Ultra Tube series from Peavey, 45w from 2 6L6's into a single 12 inch speaker. A few unique features, the drive channel has selectable gain/vol boost or both, so you can set the amp up to have a thick crunch and then hit the gain boost to metal out or you can have a volume boost to take you up in the band mix, or just go super insane and have both.
Soundwise, the tone is typical Peavey, cleans are bold and bright with real authority in the low end. Drive tones range from mild drive to full on metallic filth, its a slightly less aggressive drive than the 5150 or the Ultra's channel 3, but still firmly camped in the modern voicing.
The only weak point is the shitty stock speaker which leaves the amp sounding a bit flat, they sound great with CL80's, V30's or as i'll drop into this one, the Creamback Neo. It also has Peaveys horrific plastic footswitch, which are actually pretty durable, but i'll probably rehouse into a smaller metal enclosure. The footswitch has buttons for channel and boost, simple but really functional.
So one Prowler somehow became two.
Edit - oh, you're sorted!
