Used Peavey VMP-2, if you can find one.


Peavey? I don't like their amps -- is it pretty good? Why used? Do they
not make it anymore?


It's good. It's not made any more. And it isn't under $400. If you can
find them for under $400, I'll take a dozen.

When Peavey does make good gear, they don't promote it well and they don't
seem to know how to sell it. So they wind up discontinuing it, like they
did with the VMP-2. Now the VMP-2 sells for more on the used market than
it ever cost new.
