Manufacturer's description
The Windsor is Peavey's new hard-rocking, single-channel tube amp with undeniable power, tone and versatility. While most amplifiers leave the EQ to the preamp section, the Windsor features Peavey's patented Resonance and Presence controls, which adjust upper-end and lower-end amp response and damping factor. The Windsor also features Peavey's patented Texture(TM) circuitry for dialing in the tone characteristics of modern Class A/B push-pull and vintage Class A sounds. Texture(TM) gives you incremental adjustments for an incredible range of tone texturing and coloring.

Pros
Great price. Versatile crunch and high-gain tones.
Cons
A distinct lack of options at the cleaner end of the spectrum.
The bottom line
If you're looking for an amplifier that’s free from too many unnecessary bells and whistles and delivers plenty of ballsy rock action at an exceedingly tempting price, we’d suggest firing up a Windsor at the earliest opportunity.
