My third envoy and everyone stopped working. I like the sound of the amp that is why I stuck with the peavey envoy but I can't continue with an amp that is not reliable.

This amplifier is a great value. There's no other solid-state amplifier that sounds this good, is as quiet and has a simulated speaker line-out!! This is a high quality, "all-around" amplifier. Effects through this amp sound very clear, warm and articulate. Though I don't use the distortion channel (I use outboard effects), it sounds great. The different tonal options are great for ANY type of music. I prefer the "warm" setting on the clean channel using outboard effects. The simulated speaker line-out is great for playing shows where the sound engineer doesn't want open mics on stage. It reproduces the sound of the amp very well with no added "hiss" in the P.A. For the money, the sound quality and the power (40W), it's an awesome amp! And no, I don't work for Peavey.

At first I hated this amp and was thinking of returning it. It seemed "cold" and "dead", but after cranking it a few times it seemed to mellow up and sound better. I bought it for the emulated line out for use in church but havent tried it there yet. I also got a Vox Pathfinder 15R (also for the emulated line out) and have been using that with a distortion pedal (a tube screamer or a Barbar Direct Drive) so far because of it's warm clean sound and tremolo effect, but the Envoy 110 has channel switching and amazing high gain sounds which would simplify my set up and probably sound better. There are three different clean voices with varying amounts of crunch, three distortion voices and a footswitchable variable boost which could come in handy. An effects loop would be nice but that woold be having your cake and eating it too. They should consider adding that in a future version.
I doubt it's loud enough to gig or even jam with unless you use the line out but for practicing it screams! All in all a very fun cool amp!

I own an older Bandit Transtube that I love and I picked this amp up hoping for a more portable package with similar tone. It doesn't really have the same sound although it is decent. Reverb is electronic, not spring. For a forty watt amp, it seems a bit breathless when used for light gigs. I also wonder if the speaker is going to make it -even at half volume it sounds precarious. It is light and it is relatively inexpensive, but I think I would have been happier elsewhere.

I've had this thing for about two years now, and it really is amazing. I've played on all kinds of amps like Line 6, Marshall, Orange, etc., and if you know what you're doing, it can get in the same range. If you're looking for that really nice crunchy, metal sound, turn the boost to 10 and use a boss Metal Zone and it should give you that sound. Yesterday, I was playing, and I was amazed at how good it sounded when it was clean. I never really noticed it. I think that this is good for people that play small venues, but don't tour or anything, or people like me that just stay at home and play. If you're debating on buying it, fret no more. You should buy it, it won't let you down.

Bought this amp simply for home practice to play my fender strat through, then found it has a very nice clean sound that the Line 6 i play through at my church can't compare to. I will be switching to my Peavy at church ASAP and buying another one soon. Only gripe, I would rather it had individual channel reverb control. But other than that this is a GREAT amp for the price.

Been playing guitar for 43 years, mostly classic rock/oldies, and for the last 10 years in the contemporary Christian band at my church. I've had more guitars and amps over the years than I can remember. I bought the Envoy 110 two years ago after hip replacement surgery. I found I could no longer lift the old Crate amp I'd had for years and figured it was time to replace it.After my recovery, I went to all the local music stores and "lifted" many amps. After doing that, I plugged in my guitar and started playing through the amps I could comfortably lift. When I played through the Envoy 110 I was impressed with how loud it could get for it's size. I put the selector switch on 'Vintage' and knew I had found the amp for my new situation. I use a pedal board and therefore only the clean channel of the amp. I have to say the Envoy 110's clean channel is great! The amp has no problem taking my pedal board and making it shine. My church band has a very 'enthusiastic' drummer, even so my 110 can be heard very clearly. I am very pleased with the sound, performance and 'stage presence' of my Peavey Envoy 110. I needed a lightweight amp that sounded good and could be heard in a band situation. This fills the bill. I did make one modification. I replaced the speaker with an Eminence Redcoat 10" and the sound came alive to my ears. Also, the Line Out feature was necessary, as our head soundman at church is opposed to micing amps. I will have this amp for a long time to come. Great Product!

I had this amp for a few years now, and the speaker is already blown. I didn't even put it on 7 and it blew the speaker. I'm going get another speaker or amp. The distortion is not really good enough to use live, and the effects aren't really good either. For the price it is great but for a pro it sucks.

I have the older version. I love it. This was my first real amp. I started with a 10W amp that wasn't brand name when i was just starting then i got this and it was i could finally open up my playing. It's a great amp and 40W will let you be some what heard over a drummer. It got a 4.5 for features just because almost every amp now has some effects built it but i guess 4 years ago when i got it not every amp had that. It got a 4.5 for quality just because some of the screws have fallen out. I think you really only have to worry about that if you're turning the volume up all the way. It's got a really nice sound. The gain on it is great. you can get stuff ranging from slayer to metallica and the whole thrash scene, you can play other rock and stuff on it but i pretty much use it for high gain. Best sound you can get is lead, pre gain:10, middle switch, low:5, mid:0, high:8. It's the best sound on it. Really you can't go wrong with this amp
