    Good curling weight. Or at least farmer's carry.

      I got nauseous just thinking about an 85 pound combo.

      even with wheels, still a ridiculous amount of weight to work with.

        In this day and age, especially with Class D power amps becoming more and more popular and efficient, there's no need for SS amps to weight more than 25 pounds. I can deal with 25. My back is not what it used to be so I have to stay lightweight.

          I think they got a new SS Twin down to about 25 lbs. It gets great reviews.

            there was a thread on here I think about the new SS Twin or Deluxe
            being close but not quite the same

            I'd think about it hard if I had to make the choice

            SS just seems like it would last a life time without repair
            Unless it fell off the truck

              I can't lie- weight is a concern if I am carrying it to gigs. Sure, sound is a factor, too, but weight, and connection options to a PA are just as important to me when choosing an amp.

                Mincer recommended a cart that makes it workable. I still wish Peavey would have included the JSX in the MH form factor...

                I always say "From a scheduled maintenance perspective, buying a tube amplifier is like buying a car while buying a solid state amplifier is like buying a clock-radio."

                  Clint and I both have one and run them very differently. If I am correct Clint runs his for a slight break-up, I run mine for high gain sans-pedal. They are very versatile great sounding amps. I could do almost any small to medium gig with that amp.

                    Great Thread!!!

                    I have a Classic VT Series and a Classic 50. Both 2 x 12 combos. Great amps.
