Since couple years I play over an Peavey guitar stereo amplifire called "Peavey Transfex Pro 212".

In my opinion..this thing is a secret.

I love the sound from this heavy monster.

"Der TransFex Pro 212s basiert auf purer Halbleitertechnologie, sein Herz ist die programmierbare TransFex-Vorstufe mit integriertem Multieffekt-Prozessor, die hinsichtlich Features, Aufbau und Bedienung zu 99 % dem Peavey TubeFex entspricht. Da wir das 19"-Gerät und dessen umfangreiche Möglichkeiten schon in G&B Ausgabe 03/97 ausgiebig unter die Lupe genommen haben, möchte ich an dieser Stelle nur noch auf Unterschiede eingehen. Während im TubeFex zwei 12AX7-Röhren maßgeblich an der Klangformung beteiligt sind, sucht man solche im TransFex vergebens. Hier setzt der amerikanische Hersteller also voll auf Röhrensimulation. Auch die Stereo-Endstufe des TransFex basiert auf der TransTube-Schaltung. Zusätzlich zur äußerst variabel einsetzbaren Stereo-FX-Loop steht mit Preamp-Out-L/R und Power-Amp-In-L/R eine weitere „Schnittstelle" zur Direktabnahme, als weitere Stereo-Loop o. ä. zur Verfügung"

Also in front of the amp I use is a very small Effect-unit Pandora PX 4D. Great for studio and live situations. You can add organ/leslie sounds, spacy sounds or use it for simple reverb, delay, chorus/pitch, compression, tremolo things.

This unit can be also an life saver if you have no amp no effects with you. I can pitch, sample, great for training, play with a track and many more..

For very small gigs and difficult flight situations , I use follow light equipment:

Also I own a collector-piece of history instrument:

The orig. John Hughey Steelguitar.

John played worked with many famous People like Conway Twitty, Vince Gill..

He used this instruments for many famous recordings like Vince Gill-"Pocket full of gold" album for example Song "Look at us" and many others.

He played the JCH steelguitar on tour for Vince many Years. I got a copy with Vince and John and the JCH Steelguitar live from Austin City Limits.

My JCH is build about 1970. It was one of the first guitars Jimmy Crawford and John Hughey started the production together most out of Emmons steel Parts as Jimmy and John told me.

John Hughey Bio Page

Jimmy Crawford Owner of JCH Steelguitars couple month before he passed away.

A guitarplayer and good friend Juergen Hoffmann lent me the old legend Peavey Session 500 Steelamp. Thanks Juergen :-)

Great an a huge sweet ton over a 15" JBL (not original) Speaker. A lot of power with build in phase and Distortionsound. Nice to have this amp too for different situations.
