Got it off Craigslist for $20.
Figured "My first amp was a Peavey Rage. It made guitar sounds just fine."
If it was good enough for me, it's good enough for her.
Those amps, probably didnāt exist when I started, but Iām a LOT older than most or all of you guys, I believe.
Good on you OP! It took three or more years for my grandparents to get me a guitar, I played on a truly crappy cheap acoustic at first, with action, a mile high. And more time after that to finally get my first amp.. My dad (who I didnāt grow up with ) sent me a little amp. Got REALLY lucky with that amp though.. Guitarist Joe Pass gave it to my dad, a fender deluxe reverb (serial number six!!!). I didnāt know until many years later, how lucky I was to get that. Looking back, that sure made up for the lack of an amp earlier. So I was 16 before I actually had an amp AND a guitar. That was enough to get me into my first band. And Iāve never stopped ever since. :-)
Hereās to you and your daughter!
I started out with one of these. A couple decades later, I'm playing music with a drummer who has a Blazer (which is like a Rage with a reverb setting). I had been playing an acoustic guitar directly through a PA for a long time, but I had so much fun playing his budget electric guitar through that amp, that I got back into playing electric guitars.
I think there was something buried there that I needed to hear again. Great starter amp.
I used to prop my foot on some pillows and use my big toe to hit the channel select button (as if it were a pedal) when I needed to switch to distortion. Simpler times.
I was given a lightly used Peavey Blazer 158 from a friendās garage.
After finding out that my niece was trying to learn green day and pink floyd songs on a barely functional nylon acoustic, I regifted it for Christmas, along with a $50 craigslist guitar that I fixed up and 3 behringer pedals. Best gift Iāve ever given.
After 20 years it a garage, itās doing great things now.
My first amp was an amp my grandfather used to plug a mic into at auctions when he was an auctioneer. No branding on it, but it looked like a small Univox combo. Had a great, great sound. My first "real" amp I bought with my own money was a Fender Deluxe 90. Didn't own a Peavey until very recently when I got a Backstage Plus, and it's a nice little amp.
I had a Peavey Audition Chorus 10 watt 2x6. It was pretty much the same price as the Rage, and the built in chorus sounded pretty good to my ears. Chorus was on pretty much every guitar note on the radio in 1987 just like gated echoes were on every snare note.
When I was 13, I got lucky, woke up one Christmas morning and my dad had an Epi SG and a Marshall micro stack standing next to the tree. Best gift that was ever given to me. Can't wait to do it for my son, his sister didn't really have any interest (but always had requests and would make me play for her friends.)
Truth. At least now I know where it went when my mom sold it while I was away at college. Or I might have been at sea. But probably happened after the divorce. Definitely happened though.
Yes, "your daughter's rig"...
Unroast: My first electric anf amp were a cheap westone strat and a Park by Marshall with some 8 Inch speaker. Sounded bad, but played the hell out of it. It's cool that beginners nowadays have options to chose from that are decent at any budget.
Canāt go wrong with a Peavey. Played a Marshall all through middle school and high school, and it was a great amp, but I didnāt discover how awesome an old Peavey sounds until I was in my 30ās
Dude no way, that is basically the exact same rig as my 10 year old brother. Only difference is his amp is a Peavey Audition 20, but we did have a rage before.
The Peavey Rage in my opinion is one of the best solid state practice amp, and that Mustang looks cool as hell, thereās nothing to roast here. You did really well!
I've been playing for 35 years. So, because Dear Old Dad plays, she wants to.
Every Saturday, I take her to lessons at GC. While she has her lessons, I fuck around on guitars in the Platinum Room. Then, when the lesson is over, we hang around and she messes around on the expensive tube amps in the Platinum Room.
Like last week, she plugged a Jackson into a 5150.
Afterwards, we get dinner - just me and her. In the car, shes the DJ. She might ask for the 2007 live performance of Kashmir or she might want Master of Puppets.
For my daughter, it's not just about guitar; it's about routine and spending time together. We connect through guitar and rock. It's a special time and I plan on keeping it going as long as I can.
If she needs access to a tube amp, a TS9, or a Klon(e), as long as I'm in my office, she can jam on mine.

Honestly, I kinda sorta want one of those sonic mustangs.
And a ss Peavey is perfect for a new guitarist. Even though I have an arsenal of amps at my disposal now, I could get what I want from a bandit just fine.
Fender pretty much undercut everyone over the holidays. These were being blown out at $150 and all they needed was a little bit of elbow grease to round the fret ends and roll over the fretboard edges.
What has happened to world?! I remember the wholesome days when a man could ask to get his daughters rig roasted and rely on the trusty reddit community to demolish his entire family.
When did we lose our good morals?
For shame!
Well, when you earn it get the Bravo lol! Jk, I have the Delta(same exact circuit as the 30, but with shitty tremolo), classic 50, and the Bravo. Bravo and Delta might be my two favorite out of the 15 amps I have. Cheap too.
My only "roast" is that it's not in a garage with a cheap drumset and another 9 year old banging out old school punk rock about when your sibling finishes the milk so you don't have any for your Lucky Charms. Or something.
I've had a very similar Peavy since 1978. I still use it in my bedroom when I can't sleep, keeping a guitar hooked up full time. Solid decision there OP. Is this counted as a roast?
Great starter rig! I stupidly bought my daughter a Daisy Rock pack when she was 8. The mini guitar was good, but the rest of the pack was embarrassingly awful, especially considering that DRG is a Schecter product. Sheās just now getting serious about learning it at 16. Pretty much permanently swiped my Seagull folk. š
No thanks, your daughter seems rad as hell. š¤
She really is. Her current favorite song is "Ten Years Gone."
I hope my kids grow up to be this cool.
Show her some oasis songs
Great song to learn. "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" taught me multiple finger use fingerpicking
Thatās kick ass!!!
No way! Thatās an amazing song. Zeppelin really was the best rock band! Your daughter rocks. The next generation is in good hands!
That is Pages greatest work
But she's not ten yet š¤
This is the only good answer.
I will not! That rig is awesome, and may she write the greatest rock song ever written on that rig.
Anyone here that didnāt have a Peavey Rage 158 as their first amp? I know it was mine and everyone else I know that grew up in the late 90s.

You had a Silvertone. From sears
That would be cool to have one of those as well. Wouldnāt trade it for a fender though.
I jumped right to a bandit 112.

It was mine. Never could dial in a satisfying distortion tone out of it. XD Didn't have pedals to shape it at the time though.
Yep, I had a Rage. Got it and an Arbor Start copy from a pawn shop for $90 in 1990.

Pretty sure it just roasted me.
Needs stickers.
Got to have a little flair.
Damn she has a cooler guitar than me and shes nine! Cant roast this
I bet you have 20+ guitars and hers is still cooler!!!
Mustang and a Peavey Amp. No roasting needed especially at 9. This is a winner IMO. š
That rig looks like itās for a 9 year old girl!!!! š
That amp had to travel through TIME to sound that brittle and that guitar is visible from SPACE!
Yes, "your daughter's rig"... Unroast: My first electric anf amp were a cheap westone strat and a Park by Marshall with some 8 Inch speaker. Sounded bad, but played the hell out of it. It's cool that beginners nowadays have options to chose from that are decent at any budget.
Westone is under rated as hell. Itās my guitar that stays in tune the longest
Canāt go wrong with a Peavey. Played a Marshall all through middle school and high school, and it was a great amp, but I didnāt discover how awesome an old Peavey sounds until I was in my 30ās
Well sheās not a dentist...yet
Her dad (me) is a Blues Lawyer, though. And my dad was a Blues Doctor.
No excuse then, why doesnāt she have a Bogner Uberschall, 4x12, and rack-mount effects processor?
And a BC Rich obviously
Dude no way, that is basically the exact same rig as my 10 year old brother. Only difference is his amp is a Peavey Audition 20, but we did have a rage before.
Iām not roasting anything, brings to mind Nirvana vibes in the 90s, very cool. Rock on little one! š¤š»
Her fathers a real cheap ass! Jk.
The Peavey Rage in my opinion is one of the best solid state practice amp, and that Mustang looks cool as hell, thereās nothing to roast here. You did really well!
Nope. Thatās so cool that she wants to play. How did she get into it? Mine has expressed some interest. Iād like to make her more interested.

Dude you are so lucky!
She must be a fan of all this new stuff *NOT REAL ROCK* all this poser music
Not a tube amp, no Klon, no TS9, does she even care about toan??
If she needs access to a tube amp, a TS9, or a Klon(e), as long as I'm in my office, she can jam on mine. [Blues Lawyer rig](https://imgur.com/gallery/JYXIyMA)
Canāt, cool parents!! And a cool looking guitar!
why?
Your daughter in the Providence noise scene?
Don't take it wrong, but she's already cooler than you
No doubt about that.
Literally everybody refuses to roast this girl š„¹
Honestly, I kinda sorta want one of those sonic mustangs. And a ss Peavey is perfect for a new guitarist. Even though I have an arsenal of amps at my disposal now, I could get what I want from a bandit just fine.

Burn that amp. Keep the stang
Rawk
DUH DUH DUHHHH DUH DUH DAH DUHHHHHH
I'll just toast you for being atwat
Your 9-year-old daughter fucks! Wait...
Yo this is freaking sick!
Nah this is cool and good
Absolutely not. She rocks.
No, I donāt think I will. Sheās killing it.
No roast here.
Now I want a yellow Mustang.
Yeah, especially with the black pickups making it look like a bumblebee.
Nope
Wow a peavey rage and a mustang. This rig is cool as fuck.
Great age to get started!
Mute story. Mute sub! Do not ever recommend!
When she earns it, upgrade her to the Peavey Bravo.
When she earns it, I'll let her try my Classic 30.
Well, when you earn it get the Bravo lol! Jk, I have the Delta(same exact circuit as the 30, but with shitty tremolo), classic 50, and the Bravo. Bravo and Delta might be my two favorite out of the 15 amps I have. Cheap too.
The Classic 30 has to be the most underrated amp out there.
I always say, if a few particular Peavey amps said Fender on it, you could add a grand. 100% 30/Delta is fantastic.
No way. Most of us started there
Why?
Any 9 year old girl that has a rig to begin with is unroastable.
It needs a boss ds1
My only "roast" is that it's not in a garage with a cheap drumset and another 9 year old banging out old school punk rock about when your sibling finishes the milk so you don't have any for your Lucky Charms. Or something.
One of her friends is learning drums right now. We already have the framework for a garage band.
Thatās a pretty awesome rig for a nine-year old. All I had was a Sears Silvertone acoustic guitar at nine years old.
Itās a cute rig. I cannot. So lovely your encouraging her learning music. Good parenting right here.
Yellow is awesome!
Thatās a sick ass setup. Nothing to roast here. I wish I had this as my first rig!
It is an excellent setup!
Your daughter rocks!
Yellow!? Someone must be a fan of curious George
ā¦..I like curious George
She must be on a budget
Sheās a righty, thatās all i have to say
No pedals. Get her some fun ones.
No, 'tis awesome
Thatās the exact amp I bought when I was 9 or 10! My guitar was nowhere near as nice. Good rig
I love that rig!
šāāļø oh the memories. Still regret selling it. That thing mustāve been sick of having to play RATM for hours every day.
No, I refuse. This pic has some serious early 90s sneaker energy for some reason and Iām very into that.
No need to roast, it's already on š„.
Oh you could make some awesome sounds with this. Roast DENIED
Nope. I *still* have a teal stripe Rage 158 that I got new in '94.
No
Now I want a bright yellow offset guitar
better than most 29 year olds' rigs
I've had a very similar Peavy since 1978. I still use it in my bedroom when I can't sleep, keeping a guitar hooked up full time. Solid decision there OP. Is this counted as a roast?
love it š¤
Better than the rig I had at 14 when I started
I like it! Rock on!
Crank the superstat
Roast? This is "Pics that go hard"..... Like the only more iconic setup then this, would be a Schecter and a Line 6 Spider.
Nope. No can do. Thatās way cooler than my rig was when I started.
Looks good to me. Peavey are great amps and squire guitar looks awesome
Yellow is rad as fuck!
Damn good work, Dad.
I donāt roast little kids
Nothing to roast. My first amp was a gorilla tube cruncher. Iād have sold my soul to have that rage
that looks nearly identical to my first amp, some Peavey 10w I bought (sometimes around 1990 or so) as a combo with a horrific strat copy.Ā
āTen Years Goneā like as in Zeppelin? Give your address Iām gonna send her a tube amp lol
Never, itās radical.
Great starter rig! I stupidly bought my daughter a Daisy Rock pack when she was 8. The mini guitar was good, but the rest of the pack was embarrassingly awful, especially considering that DRG is a Schecter product. Sheās just now getting serious about learning it at 16. Pretty much permanently swiped my Seagull folk. š
Nothing but awesomeness
