I voted the 5150. But the Ultra + I had was my favorite Peavey amp. It had the tones of the 5150,JSX,XXX with in it IMO. 3 channels and a highly Active EQ.
I recently had the Script logo 5150 and it was so much more than just a Good Metal amp and a friend played Blues with it at a few gigs and loved it.
Between using the Low and High inputs on the 5150 I could get Good clean and great Crunch and High Gains.
The Classic's are another Really good sounding Amp IMO and sound great with Celestions.
The others Ive not yet really tried.
Peavey amps are VG and get a lot of crap for being a Low $$$ too High Value. Only Crate gets a worse rap IMO.

i still say windsor :-D you'd be surprised what you can do with a single channel amp, the only thing that sucks about the windsors are the gain on them, they have way too much, with 12AX7s and the gain above 7 and they sound like a fuzz pedal, too much saturation, and with that comes the lack of cleans, if peavey had dialed the gain back a little bit they would have had a perfect amp IMO, but they seem to be tailoring their stuff toward the new breed of guitar players who want gain, lotsa gain, and then add a distortion pedal to get even more....... but i like cleans, that is the only reason i have been looking for a valve king, cleans, but i may just mod my windsor and drop the gain down a bit so i actually have some other options other than overdrive and fuzz :-O

I can tell I'm outnumbered... never liked Peaveys

In my giggin days I was strictly a Marshall 100-watt 1970 Superlead kinda guy... wouldn't even Jam with a "Peavey" dude. Course that was the 70's and we all (Marshall Owners) had big heads. I played on a Classic 50 once - wasn't too bad just can't get past the name. Sorry Boys!
