My New Tubey: WARNING! Peavey inside!

[dayl]

Well, I thought I would maybe lower the bar a little from all the ace gear you guys are showing off, and take a moment to display my latest acquisition.

I basically have never owned a tube amp, I had an old Jansen on very long term loan many years ago but never one of my own. Seeing as I'm on a really tight budget with family soaking up a lot of my hard earned not to mention Guitar Parts continually calling me back; I thought that my tube tone taste would never be satisfied by my solid state budget.

So finally after not being able to order one of those cheap ass crates and failing on many auctions, I have finally managed to get this:
An 87 Peavey Triumph Ultra Gain. 60 Watts
Powered by 2x 6L6GC's with a 12AX7 Driver in the Power amp and 3x 12AX7's and 1x 12AT7 in the pre.


I am still new to tube amps so this was a bit of a stab, but she is in perfect working order and just needs a cab upgrade and a little bit of pretty added..and a re tube once I learn about all the diff brand tonalities/combo's etc.
All up, incl postage & ins, should be just over $300NZD to my door not too bad from what I've seen.

Which leads to the question, do any of you guys have any decent tube amp links? so I can read up and learn a little more?

Yeah its ugly..and Peavey. But suits my budget and I have had no drama's with PV's before.

Cool!.. i used to have a Triumph PAG 60 .. the later model 3 channel version. I don't know a lot about the earlier models, but the one i had gave me some of the best recorded tones that i have been happy with. I believe the Triumphs were part of the same family as the Ultra's, which became the Triple XXX's

Shouldn't have sold it really. Went to a 5150 combo after that, which was arse in retrospect

I heard some br00tals out of those on you tube when I was considering one on TM a while ago ( a faulty one I was half assed thinking of getting as a repair project but decided I'd probably either never finish it or blow myself up ). Peavey owners unite !
