  Gear Page's V-Type finds Peavey's Scorpion handles power like an Electro Voice, whilst voiced like Celestion's GT-100 (tight bass & slightly recessed mids). Similar to Mesa/Boogie's MC-90 driver; although MC-90s are "only" 90 watts (tis personal preference in Peavey Transformer 112 over stock Blue Marvel). On Telecaster.com, Dacious utilized "a pair in 2-way 12" P.A. cabs & they take 200 watts a side with crystal clarity & show no signs of distress". He found them similar in sound quality to E.V. Eliminator cabs, with 97% efficiency. Scorpion Ultras were stock drivers in Peavey's Triumph 120 combo amp, which was Peavey's answer to Mesa Rectifiers. Tele.com's Deaf Eddie noted 'twas Peavey-badged CTS speakers which gave Peavey speakers in general a bad rap. Transformer designer John Fera uses a Peavey Sheffield 1230 in his 112, with Weber Beam blocker, for live gigs. 73s para Sactown !!!

    I am not a guitar guy but its nice to know they are made in usa and not china and yet still affordable. Thats what usa needs. More good affordable local made products that bring back the once known fact that usa built meant quality you could count on!
