For the record, I own (and have owned) a metric shit ton of guitars and my absolute favorite one of all is a used Peavey my wife bought me on a whim. Absolutely love it, and am thinking about buying more.

Built-in, footswitchable spring reverb and 2 footswitchable channels, with a 'bright' switch for the clean channel (not like I'd ever need a 'bright' switch when I have a damn Jaguar, which doesn't even need the bright switch that it has).

The drive channel is pretty much useless those amps, though. The distortion is pretty "meh," unless you can put some kind of EQ or Sonic Maximizer pedal in front of it. The clean channel is fantastic, though. Bright and punchy. It sounds great with a dirt box, too.
Patrick:
Hm, if the dirt channel sounds like a louder version of the Blues Deluxe's dirt channel, I actually really love that sound. I am rarely into super-saturated distortion, I've really got little use for it. It's like the word "shitcunt". Sure, you could use it all the time, but after a while, people's ears get used to it. I only use it when I am really, REALLY pissed.
Edit for clarity: I only use DISTORTION if I am really pissed. I say "shitcunt" all the time.
Radical AC:
I have the Hotrod DeVille 410, and if you want a distorted driven tone you are going to need a pedal(s). But, I don't play metal so it's all good. If I did I wouldn't have bought it. Also, the clean channel with reverb is tits on ice cream.

Peavey's are awesome deals. Seriously where else can you find an American made guitar for under $200? I own a few Peaveys and, with the exception of the Vandenberg (which I would consider a collectible) I never paid over $175 for any of them. The one glaring weakness that I found in them, though, was how astoundingly bad the pickups where. But, big flippin' deal, I paid $150, buy some new pickups and you still have something that will kick the ever living crap out of any Korean guitar out there, for less money.
