Peavey Classic 30?

[Aceman]

I bet they will go lower than $400.

I don't know....and at $400 it is still a great deal.

Fender Tweed Blues Jr = ~650 and up....

Just one of those things about Peaveys. They get no respect...

Around here, if the listing is not $400 firm, I would offer $350. It may need some fresh EL84's, but I always expect to have to replace power tubes on a used amp. If not - bonus!

​​​Ultimately, if it is a great local deal for you, go for it!

I actually like the Classic 30 better than a Blues Jr.

 

[LLL]

I remember those - friend had one in the 80's. It was decent.

 

[Aceman]

Part of me says get it. Part of me says don't....

Here is an idea; Dump my Pro Jr and fund the Peavey?!?!?!

- I will not have a Fender amp then.
- Will have two peavey's and 2 Peavey cabs
+ The classic is cool
- But so is pro jr.

• I have played for 40 years, and never owned a Fender amp. Still own plenty of cool Fender guitars.
• I am afraid to count how many Peavey amps and cabs I own.
• The Classic 30 is cool! I think it even has some 18W Marshall vibe in it.

Just saying...

You know what would sound great with that classic 30, in the loop?

A Peavey Valverb!

 

[Mincer]

A Pro Jr isn't a classic Fender amp like a Deluxe or a Bassman. So I would absolutely choose the Peavey over the Pro Jr.

Yeah - but the Pro Jr.'s class A factor is super awesome.

Pretty cool since the Classic 30 hit the market in the early 90's.

I would get it if I had the disposable cash to do so.

But it tends to have that flubby low end of most class A amps- I have a Blue Angel, also a class A amp.

 

[jeremy]

class a eh?

 

[beaubrummels]

I run my Orange AD50 at 35 watts Class A and it sound clearer and just as tight as 50 watt Class AB. I think flubby low end depends more on the speaker and cabinet construction. (open back vs closed)

Well it was a Peavey Classic.

They made the Classic in the 70's too

I haven't played the 30 but my 20h definitely does a serviceable Marshall tone.

Yeah, but not the same amp. I don’t think it’s even the same design.

 

[Erlend_G]

I was about to get a Classic 30; - a friend highly reccommended it.

But, got my Blackstar HT-20 instead .

too late to regret, i guess... but, for one thing. I suspect the Peavey's build quality is higher, and it also has a good (spring!) reverb;
-while the Blackstars digital verb is rather mediocre. (And, it looks like ...made in poorest asia ripoff stereo under the hood). Still sounds rather nice tho

Do eet!

 

[Aceman]

Man...I can't let go of my Fender Pro Jr. That would be the right thing to do....

And then I'd have four Peavey branded boxes in this room. That's a lot.

 

[JamesPaul]

You just need to spread the four Peaveys around the house. Then they will not seem like a lot.
