I picked this up last weekend or so. It's a Peavey VTM 60. I'm digging it quite a bit. With all the voicing switches off, it's like a Marshall. With a couple of them on it sounds even better IMO. The only problem is the nasty cream retolex job one of the past owners did :thumbsdown: If you can find one of these get it!

Damn...I thought you couldn't get much uglier than the original VTM cosmetics.
Absolutely killer amp, though.

If you've got $140 to spare, throw it in a 5150 headshell.

It fits in a 5150 headshell?
 
Maybe I'll do that. I was thinking about just making a new wood cab for it or making a new one and tolexing that. What's the switch on yours for?

VTMs kick ass. :rock: I have a 60 and a 120. I'm most likely going to get a new 5150 headshell in the not too distant future. I made a temporary headshell out of pine and it is super light. I might try to make a nice one myself if I can get ahold of some proper tools. Might make another pine headshell and cover it in tweed just for fun.

Dovetails are the way to go! :rock:

The one on the right is a voicing control - it extends the bass range of the tone stack.
It's pretty subtle, and it only affects around 50-80hz...so it doesn't really do anything unless you're using an extended-range guitar or a low-tuned 6...and even then, it's not a huge difference.
The other switch is a treble-peaking cap bypass - it makes the amp a little less bright/harsh.
