Any solid top Yamaha... around $400. Spend another $100 to have it set up right and you're in business.

I scored this amp (free) and it probably has a minor ele issue.
I've read it is a good little amp. Is it going to be worth it to get someone to fix it?

Depends on how much it costs to fix it, and how much you like it's basic sound (or range of sounds).
I've had a couple of Peavey amps (not one of this model though) along with working with Peavey P.A. gear. It's generally robust but not particularly good sounding. To my ear, they are best suited for rock-n-roll or heavy metal, or something that really doesn't call for purity or clarity of tone. Your jazz / folk / classical friends will not be impressed...........
OTOH if you wanna play loud as fuck, this should do it.
One of these, not all beat up, and working perfectly, should set you back about $130. I used to go amp-hunting in the music and pawn shops, and saw all kinds of stuff but rarely anything really great for low bucks. I had a Peavey Deuce (head) that was great, but I ended up plugging it into Marshall speakers.

there's nothing special about the peavy's ... if there is an issue, it's usually a bad solder joint or broken solder line on the circuit board.. the one thing the the peavy solid state amps do well is "loud" about the best thing you can do with it is get a amp emulator pedal to get the tone you want and use it as a power amp.Depends on how much it costs to fix it, and how much you like it's basic sound (or range of sounds).

This was back in the 1970s, so if such things had been invented I would not have heard of them yet anyway.there's nothing special about the peavy's ... if there is an issue, it's usually a bad solder joint or broken solder line on the circuit board.. the one thing the the peavy solid state amps do well is "loud" about the best thing you can do with it is get a amp emulator pedal to get the tone you want and use it as a power amp.
The Deuce sounded good enough to get me interested in playing better, and in different types of music that weren't just really loud buzzing at different cycles. After a few years I ended up with a Roland JC-77 which was infinitely more portable, almost as loud, does LOUD BUZZ!! equally well plus a lot more different sweeter tones. Problem, it has some inner magic shit that apparently is not available any more, and may be a casualty. Dropping it off at the amp doctor next week. Should I limp along on my small Vox or think about a replacement?
I don't have a dog in the household any more so my playing REALLY LOUD has taken a bigger part lately. OTOH maybe now is the time to get another dog?

Definitely get a dog. Better for your ears and your soul.
I spend a lot more happy time with my Ridgeback than with my old Roland Cube 60. Surprisingly great-sounding little amp, I use the Blackface model and a few pedals and I'm satisfied. Sold my vintage Boogie last year and don't really miss it.

i have a bluebird from them, and had a Max, for guitar. still regret I sold it... these amps are so dynamically responsive that it really means you have to focus on how you play. but if you want to know how to use volume from your fingers, this amp does it all.

This is a great video!
That two rock is absolutely insane...
I had a 72 marshall bluesbreaker that was beautiful but no pre amp so too loud to get the good tone.

the little 5 watt silvertone is a little beat up.. I picked up a little 20wt silvertone by sammick for cabinet parts... it's got a little 6" speaker, but this little fucker rocks for a solid state and loud, can't imagine the sound on some of those beasts they're playing (btw in the video the upper right corner in the back of the room there's a sound level meter watch some of the numbers it hits.. )
so i've decided i'm going to take the little SS silvertone and make it a head unit and make a cab with 10"-12" speaker in it.. i have mesa v-twin tube preamp pedal i'll run into it and use it as a power amp .. the unit will be about the size of a 6 pack of beer in cans..
btw if anyone is looking to source some cheap ass amps.. look here https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Listings?st=&sg=&c=466&s=&lp=0&hp=999999&sbn=False&spo=False&snpo=False&socs=False&sd=False&sca=False&caed=8/23/2020 12:00:00 AM&cadb=7&scs=False&sis=False&col=1&p=1&ps=40&desc=false&ss=0&UseBuyerPrefs=true]
