I got one that I put the Peavey Mod in it and chaged to a 1501-4 SB - That really made a greater amp out of it!!
BTW - I have an extra new 1501-4 basket that will fit right on your speaker.

I bought mine back in 1986. Still sounding great. It has a little warmer tone than the Session 400 limited,but it's a good amp too.

I just got my 20 yr old VEGAS 400 back from Peavey. I had a diminished and breaking-up volume problem in both channels.

Mike Brown and the Peavey staff did an amazing fixup. This amp sounds just like new. No kidding. After all these years of continued use. Man, what can you say?

I just posted about this very great amp.

Just so you know, they don't have a "Vegas 400" race.
They do have a "Las Vegas 350" the "UAW-DaimlerChysler 400" and the "Sams Town 300", but no "Vegas 400" and no "Mint 500" anymore(that was the 500 mile offroad desert race South of town).
