anyone know anything about these amps? got an offer for one but i've
never heard of these amps before. just wanted some info/ people's
thoughts on this amp before i tried it out.

I don't have experience with that specific amp....but I have a lot of
experience with Peavey amps of that time period. What I would expect
is a really solidly built amp, very heavy, very loud for ss, a great
clean channel with a nice reverb. Probably a non usable distortion
channel, but the clean usually takes pedals beautifully. The key is
the price, I would not pay over $75-$100....and $100 is pushing it.
