Peavey 3120 Metal Head

I recently picked up a Peavey 3120 head on craigslist for a great price. This head 3120—a name that is based on the amp’s specifications of three channels and 120 watts of power is a great diverse head. I paired this with the Peavey 212-6 cabinet. I am able to get rich clean sounds to all the way max kill distortion. Totally underrated and super powerful head, I was surprised. Maybe the name threw people off since it’s a lower number than the 5150 or 6505. Lower numbers in this case don’t mean less. What a great pair with the 212-6 cabinet, because of the lower power rating I get great clipping but totally can blow up this cabinet if not careful. I wish I could have added the Invective cabinet but it costs a fortune. I contacted Peavey parts and got the matching Metal head plate to add to the cabinet, very cool and will post a pic later. Here is a peek inside, nice clean layout and quality parts, solid construction, both the head and cabinet.
