« Peavey Classic Chorus 130 »

I acquired this unit thourgh a used music store.I paid 500 canadian
I bought this because I needed a good Amp

-what I like Is the versatility and tone
with little effort I can get a nice tone from dirty blues to heavy metal and clean rock in the middle
-digital effects a pro too
-very nice power

- the really jerky way the volume is when the level is increased or decreased (when I turn the volume up it bursts louder and when I turn it down it does the same)

-its a 2x12 combo
-130 watts of power
-4 band eq,treb boost,thick switch(only effective in lead channel)
-2 channels ( lead,clean )
-heavy as hell
-open back
-sturdy built
-solid state
-digital reverb
-digital vibrato
-digital chours

I like this anp its a good alround
but the tone needs little additions like distorton pedel to get heavy metal tones
and others to just get mose taste,The amps distorion is more like classic rock chuck berry's johny b good thats the amps main distorion, with my pedel on it just like metallica on balck album's enter sandman
and with slight tweak its on there seek and destroy very nicely handles low end really good.I play my cousins bass on that amp and itsway better than his bass amp.so detuned low end is no problem
not to get me wrong my strat is magic on that thing too nice iron madien tone fr aces high. but one more point on the amps distortion Its really captures the corrosion of conformaty loose tone so its not all bad in heavy metal tone.
