    Speaking of amps I had a Peavey Classic VTX series
    when I was a teen-ager. It's the model before Chorus -
    this one has a phase shifter built in. I was using it
    with a local gospel group I was with, and it was too
    loud, so I unplugged one of the 12" Scorpions. Then
    I learned about the slave jack and started running
    straight to the sound board and using the speaker as
    a monitor. Then I realized I was carrying this HEAVY
    amp and just using the pre-amp, so I found a rack
    mount effects unit (Digitech DSP 256 XL) and a tube
    rack mount preamp.

    I then did something I've regretted... you guess it.
    Sold the Classic. A few months ago I started looking
    for another one. Finally found one on eBay WITH the
    foot switch - original owner, etc. Was "local pick
    up" only but I looked and it was just outside Memphis!
    (I live about an hour plus North) Several days and bids
    later and I bought it for $150! Drove down, picked it
    up, got some contact cleaner for a couple of dirty
    pots and it's GREAT! The first night I played for
    about 2 hours, just different stuff. :-)


    ... More sugar!
