I have a pre-Peavey Series II 1x12.Got it today! Love it so far.
Mine is a Series II with the triangular logo. I'm not sure but I think it's post Peavey. Are all Series II by Peavey? Some have the oval logo and I'm not sure where that puts them.

Thanks you. From what I understand, the Peavey models are every bit as good as the pre-Peavey models.The oval logo is a Peavey model.

Yes, there are Pre-Peavey series II models.
The Series I Buddas were handwired on turret boards, not fully pcb. They also featured a cabinet switching function. The Series I did not have the pull-modern function on the mids knob either.What are the differences between Series I and Series II? The balance of volume with the two channels?
Right now, I'm looking at closed back 2x12 cabs and what speaker combos will work well for me. Trying to keep the costs down a little.

The pull-modern mid knob is a must-have for me.The Series I Buddas were handwired on turret boards, not fully pcb. They also featured a cabinet switching function. The Series I did not have the pull-modern function on the mids knob either.
I think those were the only differences between Series I and II.
I must say that, between the pull-modern function and the pull-bright on the rhythm channel volume knob, the Superdrives allow for some pretty serious tone shaping.The pull-modern mid knob is a must-have for me.
With it pushed in the amp is too heavy on the lower mids for my taste.
Pulling it out puts the amp into Marshall tone territory.
Another thing you should try is cranking up the clean channel really loud and using your guitar volume. It is really unbelievable. As you hold a note, you can roll the guitar volume up little by little to get long sustain without compression that breaks into nice feedback.Time to give this thread a long overdue bump.
I picked up a pre-peavey Superdrive 18 ii just after Christmas. I really didn't need another amp and its my first amp purchase in about 7 years. However I had been reading about the Buddas for a long time and when this SD18 came up locally for a great price I couldn't resist.
I live on the drive channel exclusively and this is not hyperbole: I'm amazed at how fat, expressive and responsive this amp is even with the gain up and overall volume down. I'm also amazed at its quality of tone. This thing is just flat-out fun to play. As someone else mentioned the SD18 may be one of the best amps for lead guitar.
That would be me. Absolute beast of an amp. I kept the cab for my SD45 and I love it.Finally got another Budda in the house. Bought a chassis from a TGPer a while back and have almost completed building a smallbox head for it. Built from scraps laying around the shop, poplar shell and flame maple valance. It's fully assembled, just need to decide how to color/cover/finish it. Was going to do black shell and a black burst valance, but am kind of digging it natural. We'll see, too cold in the shop for finish to cure right so I have until spring to figure it out. Ported it for the fan and the back is mostly open, no heat issues.

Not entirely true.The Series I Buddas were handwired on turret boards, not fully pcb. They also featured a cabinet switching function. The Series I did not have the pull-modern function on the mids knob either.
I think those were the only differences between Series I and II.
Is it possible that it was sent back to Jeff to have the mid boost added or was a one off? I had/have 2 SD30 series 1 and neither had the mid boost.Not entirely true. I have a SD30 series one (in fact serial number 0001 even) and it has the mid pull switch. I've also owned a Series 1 that did not have it OR the cab switching ability. Was very weird when I had both...naturally you can guess which I kept.
I would agree it had to be a mod or a one off, not the standard build.Is it possible that it was sent back to Jeff to have the mid boost added or was a one off? I had/have 2 SD30 series 1 and neither had the mid boost.
Michael Smith from Peavey here. This is not entirely true. There's definitely a dynamic story with all of this.The oval logo is a Peavey model.
