Peavey Review: Classic 30

History:

Purchase: Melodee Music, used, $250. I bought it 'cause I badly needed a new guitar amp.

What I Like About This Peavey Classic 30: -Superb tone, especially for blues, jazz, and rock... You can even get a good metal sound out of it. -Loud, loud, loud. It's amazing how much sound can come out of one 12" speaker. Turn the volume to 25% on the clean channel in your bedroom and your ears are guaranteed to hurt after about five minutes of playing. -Solid construction. -Great looks. -Great-sounding reverb and distortion.

What I Do NOT Like About The Peavey Classic 30: -The only thing I can think of is that the EQ is not very responsive, even less so with the boost engaged.

Peavey Classic 30 Quality Rating: Seems to be ruggedly constructed. Quality work here.

Review Summary: -Great amp overall. It will push more sound than a 120 watt 2x12 solid state. No shit. For $250, I am convinced that this is THE best deal I could have found. This thing rivals the famous Fender. The Peavey Classic 30 is a monster box!

Rating of this Peavey product: 5
