unbelievably stupid question, or is it?

[tyler657recpro]

probalby is, but i'll ask anyway. is the peavey cel-2 compresssor anywhere even near good? I like the features, and was just wondering.

Is any peavey gear besides the vmp-2 any good?

Not familiar with a CEL-2, do you mean the VC/L-2 ? If so, it's a very well built tube/optical compressor using an electroluminescent panel. It's along the same lines as an LA2A (no, I don't think it's a clone) so if you like that style of compression it's a good buy. One caveat : it is NOT a stereo unit, but a discreet 2 channel, so I wouldn't use it on the LR buss.

The only PEAVY gear I own is 2 bass reflex 18" woofer cabs, 1 with the original Black Widow woofer still intact.

no it's the cel-2. its probably a piece of crap, but it's worth asking.

I have a Peavey Odyssey guitar that kills.

[tyler657recpro]

well i dont' play guitar. i'm thinking of learning. can you get an okay electric for 150 bucks? like a fender or something? ...a little off the subject, sorry

The CEL-2 IS a piece 'o crap!

[tyler657recpro]

that's what i figured. i just liked the expander.

$150?
Over here in Britain you can get a Squier Affinity for about £120. Dont know what that is in dollars, but the affinitys are alright for learning on. I've got a Tele affinity that I use for basic guide tracks, etc. Not much good for really good recording, although it's more to do with the amp then. I always use Marshall, Crate or Mesa.

[tyler657recpro]

120 pounds = $187.82 I guess I could pull that off. Squier Affinity huh?

[Axis]

you can get a good cheap guitar at Music-yo.com They also give out $10 dollars off gift certifacites everyone once in a while.

Check out the Kramer, Pacer, and Striker.

One more to consider, the Peavey version of a Telecaster, I am not what you could call a Peavey fan but I have heard a lot of good comments on this one. Any comments out there?
