NAD!!!! Peters 3channel

[Gsxrbusa]

Well not really. I have had it for a long while now and didn't do a new amp day because I thought you guys might be getting sick of the new Peters. After the inquiry of a RT member I decided to do one.

I am not going to dive to deep into how awesome the amp is considering I'm the resident Peters poster boy(yeah, I just said that out loud).

It's a 3 channel amp with the Chimera, Hydra, and Halo channels. These are all fire breathing dragons minus the Halo which is clean. This amp is about as metal as it gets IMO. The chimera is tight and razor sharp, I love this channel for my drop C and 7 string tunings. The Hydra is a touch looser and a bit more rounded. Still completely metal though. The halo is a fantastic clean that can approach AC/DC type dirt but still clean up to the most pristine clean with a shitload of headroom.

The biggest draw to Peters amps for myself is the articulation and clarity. It is unmatched by any other amp I have tried. I play in two original metal bands and dominate the live mix with James's creations. I get nothing but compliments on tone. It's almost not fair to my other guitarists.

As far as the 3 channel goes it's dead quiet when switching channels. The foot switch is easy to comprehend and fully functional.


Here is some amp pron. Keep in mind I'm a guitar player not a photographer.

In this pic you will notice the blue led with the orange shell. I'm a big time Denver Broncos fan so I will be playing this Vega/Gryphon (thanks Tony aka Sinnerx96!!!!!!) on game days/weekends. Lol.

Thanks for checking it out guys. Pm me with any questions about Peters amplification or ask away here. James Peters is a great guy and one of the premier amp builders in North America.

Thanks man. They honestly all sound pretty good. My favorite cab is the Marshall loaded with 40 year old Greenbacks. I have a Mills acoustics in a road case that has Scumbacks and V30's in an x pattern that sounds really nice live.

WOW...Congrats. Have yet to try s Peters...But have always been pretty fond of the vids and clips.

 

[protoplasma]

Hell of a rig you've got there!

Do you use anything to switch between the amps on-the-fly, or do you just plug-and-chug?

Thank you sir!

Thanks a bunch Kyle! You probably don't remember but we discussed the channel changing/multiple cab switcher a while ago. I would really like to revisit this option with you. Currently I use an Egnator head switcher. It can control 4 amps on the fly. Works great for what it is but you and I had a plan for "The ultimate head/cab switcher".

Indeed, I was curious if you had found a good solution... The ultimate switcher is still a product planned for release, just haven't had much time to work on it. The amp side of the business has taken over most of my time, though I have been working on switcher / floor controller stuff as of late.

Holy sheep dip, that's more Peters than a three peckered goat!

 

[garey77]

more Peters than a three peckered goat!

But seriously, I'd pay to see a three peckered goat... I have problems, I know.

 

[~Abstract~]

Congrats! Very awesome collection!

Is that the same Herbert you've always had? I don't remember the grill cloth rather than metal...


How's it been?

 

[skoora]

I can even hear the tone coming from the empty Peter's headshell on top

Peter's is high if not at the top of an amp list I would want to try out in person. He offers enough preamp choices I could never decide over the phone. I would have to play them.

 

[R45VT]

Wow. Nice "little" set up you have there.

No Peters jokes since you have great taste in guitars as well.

Fuck yeah

Very cool Kyle, can't wait to see what you come up with.

Hehehe.

Thanks Mat! Yep, that Herbert #18. Long time no talk. Need to catch up sometime.

Well, come on over and you can play the Chimera/Hydra/Vega/Gryphon/FSM/Halo. Try before you buy Colorado outlet store, only problem is nothing is for sale.

Hahaha, thanks man. I like my guitars pointy.

 

[VC4Ever]

That amp is definitely worthy of a NAD for everyone to see. Just fuels the need for one. Do you know if he will do 3 gain channels? no need for clean. Sweet rig man

 

[R45VT]

Can you show the rest of your pointy guitars? More Jackson's needed.

I don't think he will do 3 gain channels. We talked at one point about it and it wasn't an option. He may have changed his mind by now but James would be the guy to ask. Thanks for the compliment man.

Why surely.

This black SL2 is my main gigging guitar. The black and green are my favs.

You obviuosly have been to his site, but I noticed James wrote this, Maybe I just hadn't seen it. But I think it's relatively new because he mentions the new channel designs and a "dual lead" dual channel depending on the combo I guess.
I've read James say that certain channel designs of his cannot be paired together or something. But there were still a lot that could.
He also didn't used offer single channel amps, and now he is. So that's awesome too.

From petersamplification.com

"Ok...I haven't updated in a while, but you'll soon see what's been keeping me so busy...

-single channel amps
-new 10th Anniversary cosmetics for the dual channel amps
-some "dual lead" configurations are available for dual channel amps and preamps
-new channel design: VEGA
-new channel design: FSM
-new channel design: REGULUS
-triple channel amps

The custom parts have taken a while to get made. The site will undergo a major update as soon as I can photograph the new designs."

Congratulations! I was just about to post an overdue Peters Triple NAD thread, but I'll crash in on yours instead.

Hydra/FSM/Halo here. I love your choice in cosmetics! Mine has the same black faceplate and black anodized knobs as yours, with only some differences in the LED colors.

The amp is amazing! Very versatile, and I'm finding all kinds of new tones every day. James is fantastic to talk to as well. I can't say enough great things about him. If anyone is on the fence about a Peters I'd highly recommend contacting James. The amp is built amazingly well, sounds phenomenal, and he provides great support both before and after the sale. He's both a genius and a gentleman.

Thanks to those who posted videos. Gsxrbusa, that especially includes you. Yours sound phenomenal. Awesome playing too.

Congratulations again!

 

[JCDenton6]

Man that's one hell of an amp I'd love to play someday, congrats!

Bad ass collection bro. I think it is great to find a builder with products and support that you believe in and get em all.....
