A guy here had a Peavey amp fall out of the back of a pickup truck on the road at about 55 MPH on the way to a gig. It was pretty skinned up, but played perfectly.
Yeah, I remember reading that thread.

No word on the Valve King :(

Thought I would update you. It crapped out again. Was going to pitch it in the trash can, but, it's going to be rebuilt. I've been hanging out at AX84.com and I'm going to do a P1ex eXtreme build in it. I was going to do a firefly build but I wanted an eq in the amp itself. I will take lots of pictures of the build and post them for you all. Don't expect this to be quick, I'm unemployed at the moment so parts will be slow to buy.

If you ever do decide to pitch it, I've got a trash can.

This is why I don't carry gear in pickup pans.

Oh, and I'd pay anything to have any of my guitars fixed right now. They all mean a lot to me and represent a lot to me.

I own a Peavey T-15. My uncle gave it to me after he got into an accident and couldn't play anymore. Great little guitar if you ask me, for only $150? bucks. A couple months back my girlfriend tripped over the input jack when it was plugged into my Peavey. Completely annihilated the bottom of my pick guard. I've looked everywhere for a replacement, but I can't find one that fits this style of guitar. It makes me very sad. :(

Here's a picture of what it USED to look like:

There are custom pickguard makers out there. Just google "custom pickguard" and you'll find quite a few.
