1980’s Peavey advertisements Encore 65?

Post by N9MKI » Sun Mar 12, 2023 2:27 pm

Hi all,
In the 1980’s, I worked for a graphic arts company that printed “Downbeat” and its sister publication to the music industry “Upbeat”. One of these magazines featured a one-page Peavey advertisement on a new all-tube 1-12” combo amp. At the time, I was impressed by its compactness and design. My problem is that I don’t remember what model it was - not one of the common ones. Could it have been the Encore 65? A couple of years ago, I bought a 1983 Encore 65 and in doing a little research, it was difficult finding much information on that model. Even the Peavey book only mentions it in the briefest way. It was only available that one year according the the “Vintage Guitar Price Guide”. I love that little combo and the old school Peavey aesthetics. A copy of that ad would solve this decades-old mystery!
