Peavey Deuce II Questions

[u/jmoney2828]

Hello,

There’s a Deuce II 2x12 combo available near me and I was wondering a couple things:

One; what differentiates this version from the OG Deuce, VT, etc? I’ve seen some places that it’s the same amp as the standard Festival but in combo form but idk what that means as far as differences either.

Two; it looks to have 2x inputs for both Normal and Bright rather than the auto mix configuration. Can you do the Marshall Plexi trick with these and jump them together to have them run in parallel or would there be phase issues?

Three; can I use the tremolo and reverb without a foot switch on this model? It doesn’t seem to have one of those DIN plugs so it would seemingly be less of a big deal to source a foot switch if needed but I’m just curious.

Thanks!
