All user reviews for the Peavey Classic 30 [1993-2004]

An Equal two-channel pre and post gain, insertion effects, reverb (spring ).... the clasiique!
ten out of ten becaufe if you are not agree with it do not buy this kind of amp .....

UTILIZATION

I have no manual and wonder what's the point of an amp so obvious ...
the sound is immediate

SOUNDS

Great sound even at low volume (which is related to 2 as it diffuses not bad ...)
channel crystal clear and warm at the same time, almost clear, enjoyable!
saturated channel: home with the lights is better than a Fender but it's still a little fat for a Start (singles), better with a Gibson (humbuckers).
the feedback is superb!

OVERALL OPINION

If you are looking for this kind of amp is this one that must be because its price OCCAZ is ridiculous. He needs to maintain and lack of light fixtures that makes a horrible noise when it starts to vibrate (notes) is a real problem. I also think the original lights do not all the possibilities of this amp.
a very good choice anyway for those who can not afford to pay a cse Boogie.
preamp / distortion to light for a rigeuer its own because it's saturated Peavy is not precise enough and drooling like a leech!

I change my opinion one APRS years of use.

Like that previously.
Mine has a guard.
I put 9 / 10 because of the footswitch not included.

UTILIZATION

Amp easy to adjust. The settings are not super accurate but they are effective.
I was tired of me taking the head with son everywhere, regulation of so many hours when I had my multi purpose numrique (WP6).

My setup now:

guitar = Boss NS-2 (Noise Reduction) = Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde (distortion pedals) = Peavey C30.

SOUNDS

It carément sound I was looking for: it's too good to clean means the lamps, the reverb works: I get a good sound crystal-clear and sweet for my intros, and slamming his property to play the reaggee or ska. The sound has a lot of personality I think.

I never grow enough amp for a natural crunch in the clean channel, even if I did two gigs with. In fact this amp is really powerful trs, push a 5 / 12 for a concert is more than enough to have a crunch to it must go up to 7-8/12

I love the distortion of this amp even if it lacks a bit of gain. I played a lot of punk / rock and AC suited me well. The sound is natural trs, trs musical. The qualisation is quite effective. Personally I never use the boost of mdium (I'm not a big fan of mediums.). With the gain mdiums bottom and at least approaching a saturation "typ mtal", but beware, the sound is not "fat" or "deaf". It's not a distortion to mtal but few are approaching learning from such little songs as "dropping" when one is tuning nerv.

My worry is that I played in band in the studio on Marshall Jcm 900 (head and 4x12 cabinet ") and I'm the only guitarist in the group. In addition the influence of this one are a little volumes we pass punk / rock to punk / hardcore. The sound is not quite straight forward. To better deal with me and play in studios, I buy a distortion pedals and I'm not too dcu.

Otherwise I play on an Epiphone Sheraton II, therefore dual 2 Micro (mieu for distortion).

Finally it well digr effects (vox wah wah pedal, distortion, MXR Phase 90, etc ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year now.

Although my opinion is somewhat subjective (I'm human DSOL ...), and I have also updated according to the amp that I had the opportunity to use (which are not high end):

To play alone: ​​Quite a transistor amp, a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 401, a Marshall Valvestate 2x40W (and 2x 12 ") hybrid (transistor / 1 lamp), etc ...

In the studio with my group: head amp Marshall JCM 900, JCM 2000 TSL Marhsall (something) and Peavey 5150 4x12 cabinet on "a trs high volume (I play with a drummer nerv ...)

In short for me the Peavey Classic 30 has many advantages:
- He has a good clear sound and a good overdrive / distortion, the sound is warm and natural. It is therefore Polivalente and covers almost all styles (except "metal", "brutal death metal", "hardcore" big "punk.")
- It trs agree to play well in an apartment, but also to repeat the concert or in groups (it has a lot of power!). If not the worst he adds a small cabinet 4x12 "
- It benefitted from a good value qualitprix trs: I buy 650 euro new (5 year warranty), which is less expensive than other combos of the same type lamp.
- It is beautiful in black (see my profile: there is a photo) and neither too big nor too heavy.

Nevertheless:

- I think this amp is weak: there is no standby and some users have a ground that vibrate APRS retubing. we must take care.
- It has only 2 channel equalization for an RVer and I OD-2 channel with a boost of 20dB! (Like the Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 401).
- No footswitch included
- No line out.

To conclude: it's really the amp that I needed for my budget, my influences and the use I need it: it has two small even when concerts.

I do not think I'll spare one day unless I buy a high end amp lamps (VHT. ...) and I need to sell the Peavey classic 30 for me to offer it.

I do it again this choice without worry

Nothing much was made over in this category.
The effects loop is great practice, power is important for group play.
I just wish the line-out missing.
And maybe the footswitch, which I think is not provided in nine.

UTILIZATION

No man since purchased OCCAZ.

We get on a sound convincing, as lamps. It is not a myth, the difference is palpable.

It should screw up the equation has to find her though.

SOUNDS

His Clair: I find fat and dense, very very rich in harmonics, ca whistling merrily.
Without engaging the boost, the sound is enough lens (and fat at the same time, I know ....) well suited for a funky rhythm, or a rich, dense, bluesy well (when I say .... bluesy c is to describe a utlisation ... Do not believe it reduces the flexibility .... it's the only trait that I found a quote to illustrate with words the sound obtained) after equalization.

By switching the small boost button, you boost the mids, see the grave. So its very heavy and fat, increase in decibels. I use very little, since its base is quite clear expressive. We can not act on this switch with the footswitch. But this little button changes the sound a bit, giving a slightly more distinctive, because more fat and warm. But I think it's been a lot after. Finally, a test. Ca, anyway, is that the more, then not complain.

Drive sound: Yes, because I wanted the lights to the full. What can I say?
Overdrive fat enough. Voila. The drive was pushed back, we obtain an overdrive rather fat, rich mids and bass. The bass is rather vague. The highs are good. Here for equa drive with a background and everything has a 50% adjustment level, boost deactivated.
Now, I like to get her a little oldy. So:

Drive in the second half, as the grain and the role in the class (yes, soli .... better put a background to gain and sustain gain), with acute to 3 quarts, a middle 10 hours , and a low 14 hours. I really like this rendering.

Then we can obtain a more sublime yet, but I use less. Drive about 3 or 4, equa choice and with the boost engaged ..... Here, we get superb sound ... I do not know me .... just a Gilmour on Another Brick part 2. You see?

Short of very good. The only default if it is, saving a bit limited if you want to push away (for no rhythmic bp, but the solos very saturated, no), and a bold, somewhat clumsy consequently.
But when I say clumsy, nothing to do with dynamics. A play on the equa therefore, see why not, add a little behind.

I play on a lag with two humbuckers. Alder body, and fat. Therefore, it is normal that I found a fat on my amp. I tested also a Storm (!!!) above .... And then the slap Mom!

Oldies sound very rich treble, Led Zep, Maiden, Queen and Company I loved approaching, I am approached more .... So, it varies greatly depending on the guitars.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three months. OCCAZ bought 450 euros. Mesa Boogie floor lamps in power on.
My liver, I am very satisfied.

This is a good amp, seriously, I have a small vibration that bp does not get along, I was no microphone that level.

The look is very nice.

I would do this choice because the money is rappot exeptionnel. OCCAZ 400/450 euros.

I tested just before the Laney, nice too ... but not as safe or charisma. More clear sound bland.
Try then, my advice. and if you like, go for it.

TT t di I think: 30 lights wat tt (Sovtek and Electro Harmonix, on my own in case tt), a single legalization, 2 channels, a boost, an effects loop, no standb (a e!) Blue Marvel 1 hp, 1 hp output, 1 for the swich, a reverb, tweed finish ...
7 for the lack of standby and legalization common to two channels.

UTILIZATION

Bon mm if the legalization common to a default REPRESENTATIVES 2 channels, at least to simplify the MRIT rglages: c simple, quickly found the sound that we seek ... and made fun!
MM if the amp is quite heavy for its size it is not teacher, it is compact prs I think.
The manual has a part in French ... c well ... but it will be crazy!
The legalization common I do not have to relement bp in fact, c on c shame! O tj There's way worse s'aranger with pedals (thank you for the effects loop !)...
And since ds is "use", I recall that should be allowed 3-4 minutes to heat before playing.
The lack of standby qd mm is regrettable, but removed a gdja pt ao top
9! If this amp vs galrez rgler, C not he who must change, you c!

SOUNDS

Okay, so sounds cot ...
Cot clear Premire: cb c VSR and the little one is a good guitar, c enjoyable!
Submitted very good bass, clear treble sound ... all in a velvety claret tint of a warm ... no doubt, the lights work! The sound may be lacking a bit of compression (c not a mesa boogie c ...), but got a story for me, every time I open the volume of the end of my guitar PERIOD the heating I am surprised, delighted and inspired ... With ssl1 S. Duncan neck pickup, I get an easy and well "slamming" extremely effective for many lively rhythm, but I also have a little calmer, less percutaneous, softer ... but I'm not going Retailer tt sounds possible, know there 'in the gots to tt! Sounds clear: terrible, but you make your ide ...
Cot saturation: Note that the footswich is not provided. The same, c got a history and musical influences: I play basically, rock, and it was really good. Do not expect to play Metal music or too extreme saturation with enormous, it is not for a. But to really rock c walk! Whether you like it sharp and incisive (a lot of medium ...) or fatter, heavier, less medium in short, more or less saturated saturation will not let you indiffrent. C terrible in crunch, a "crack," he grsille ... Faced with a transistor amp will quickly Difference vs APRS to me. Dc saturation or crunch, like, c lamps, a course! .. And it too good!
Be careful, high-volume, mediums emerge, and knowing that a 30 c wat if you have a good drummer can pose a ennerv pb ... Having said that, given together as I tt time was taken up by a microphone does not ask me pb! Another disadvantage of classic, a t djas said the sound is directional trs, but there s also has parades: plug another hp output via ... repriquez or the hp by a micro ...
Let's be clear, the power, in terms of volume Sonnora is more than sufficient, do not trust vs WaT 30 (qd you try asking the seller if dc vs can mount the volume of the 6 pre-amp that of maintaining eight post-amp, but I'll vs prvenu!).
Cot reverb: also the adpend gots you to judge. I find it good.

Yeah, There are a key boost to "boost" the sound (bha yes), I find that the sound is so good with, DC I do not use hardly ever. However it may have an interest ds some cases ... Do not snap primarily to test the shop ds, with 6 and 8 in pre-and post-amp, so keep your ears vs if vs count and try to Otres mm truk ds shop!
9! For the rock of course!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months, it is djas qq concerts and a lot of repeat group: it provides!
Résumé to:
Ngatifs Points: directivity of the sound; legalization for the 2 channels, no standby, it heats a lot of hours APRS plusiuers repeated; NCESS to be transplanted if you want a particular sound ds a concert.
Pros: clean sound, color saturation, the simplicity of rglages, the small footprint
Ideal for rock!
G tried to as objective as possible, but we love ... qd Make your vs ide!

Superb, accurate and reliable .. 30w .. that are worth 80 and taken on a baffle marshmall: ca sent .. (for rooms where he takes fishing, and to "cover" a little drummer!) Such Small combo "tweed" is likely to become a highly sought after gem .. manufacturing and quality are! lamps do not fart ever (be it the groove tubes?). saturation at high volume is REALLY beautiful. it is also the inimitable charm of these small tube amps, which can otherwise grow + a big stack .. (ask Paul person, Bertignac, billy gibbons, Van Zandt, greenhouses, etc.)

UTILIZATION

Yes absolutly but 1Management: never play hard for at least 10 to 15 minutes if I prchauffage.et branch facade good TS5 (soundtank version) or TS9 (metal box version, but kif-kif) it starts singing and flute as it is not allowed!

SOUNDS

Too many questions .. refer you in the first paragraph

OVERALL OPINION

Yes, but I sold it to a traditional 100 (same range but more powerful, with separate head, not combo) and again beau.AAAAAAARRRRRGGGHHHH +. as well as my body JMP 3 80 .. but not as heavy to move. (although it should not be a big diffrence!)

Does everything said in the posts previous ones.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, see other posts

SOUNDS

Excellent amp. I use it in rock / funk / Custom Start with a variation on David Glenn Van Zandt team of microphones: a marvel. I find the sounds of the old AC-30 (yeah, I'm not young ...), with a trs HP supplmentaire type Marshall 4x12, it rcupre more safe and above is less directional He buried a marshall no problem.
Warm clean sounds but take a bit of saturation After a few hours utililsation ...
Excellent crunch and good saturation 'lamp'.
Swith the 'boost' is INTERESTED low volume for more roundness on mdiums / low, loud volume, it's boiling, especially on the saturated channel.
I use the 2 channels plus a ProCo Rat for trs big sound (warning, not mtal ...)
Should not be used 'background' because loss of sound quality, good master volume is around 3.5 / 4.
Attention is not made for large venues, the sound 'falls' 10 meters.
The reverb is kind vintage and enjoyable (but I do not use it ... I use those in my multi effects).
I have long pos killer question: should I put my multi effects in the loop or before the amp (like pedals). I opt for the 2nd solution because I only use effects 'mods' (delay, echo, reverb, chorus ...) and I like to go through the prampli.

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent amp. I have been there in the store, I made dozens of concerts in venues of all types, it has always sonn. I had no problem (but I lugs around in flight case).
I tried it with the Peavey HP supplmentaire, has a nice body 2 not too bulky, but leaves add an HP, as well take a 4x12.
For small rooms (cafés, small rooms for 50 people FTEs) trs though he walks alone. For slightly larger rooms, an HP prvoir supplmentaire or better be back by the sound system ... For larger rooms or collection outdoor (yes, he can do ...) sono mandatory.
If I had to change the amp ... I Rasht the same. I tried the 50 watt amp and Fender equivalents (tweed + the last series), the 30 Watts the best, there's no photo. (Whatever that ... an old VOX AC-30 ... it's not bad, but less versatile).

I think everything has been said about which patterns of the amp ...

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple ... it's really nice not having to 10,000 settings to find the desired sound, and that whatever is said, is an advantage.
What I want is to please me, so when I play, I do not want to spend hours to solve 20 buttons to finally give up ...
I do not think having the manual in French, in any way I put away! But I remember having seen the settings for this or that ... I think it's cool.

SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style of music, clear sound is great ... I'm amazed every time I use it or try another amp ... one thing is certain, I always come back to my Peavy ptit ...
In terms of its full, it's on if you want to play the nag, it will not make ... I tried to connect a metal zone boss, closing his eyes I thought I was playing with metallica ... =)

I use it with a godin multiacACS JS100 and I am very happy with the record, the sound is superb with two guitars ... I set my amp this way: trebble 8 medium 3 and 8 bass, then I put the pickup selector on the middle position and I split it all ... and there I can say that it adds up!
My effects are a crybaby wah, digitech JamMan one and sometimes I plug the pandora ... everything fits very well.
I tried many settings, and all those who have tried it have found their way to settle and were happy with the result.

In rehearsal, I did not hurt me to hear while in grades good sound quality.
The drummer who is also guitarist is a fan of this amp ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in 1995, he had just come out ... I think I am surprised to see it at 600 euros, because I bought new in Paris 3000frs!

Oh the lights are original ... they are the shock ... the amp is solid, it is not damaged and yet I can say I did see him!
I've never had a problem with this amp except for the reverb, I find that over time it does not get better ...
What I like most: The look, the power settings, the sound clear.
What I like least is the boost (it's no use, the sound is dégueux) ... oh yeah the NO STAND BY is intolerable! especially that there is one on the classic 50 ... I'm sorry but it should be mandatory on all tube amp.
But hey I like it still my little amp ^ ^

He did not 10 because of the stand by ....

UTILIZATION

See other post

SOUNDS

I use it with an ibanez JEM555, its no problem saturated, greasy blues to hard rock 80's. Dception on the other hand in the clean channel when the amp is warm, the sound is more clear .... shame.
I think its acceptable to have a (clear-channel), use a fender or any guitar with single coils.

OVERALL OPINION

2 years of loyal service with no technical problems, forget the boost because the sound becomes trs sale.i remains affordable amp, bought 540 instead of the 700 era.
hint: the prices on the peavey stuff, if the emitted r t done yet, can still go down, Do not hesitate to ask for 20% of rduction because the amps pass through the England and not down in any case VAT !!!.( aa works for me)

See previous reviews, I put that as the equalizer 7 is common to both channels and footswich is not included in the price. The finish is excellent.

UTILIZATION

Very simple setup, you turn, turn, it sounds!

SOUNDS

I use it mostly with a Start US sometimes Epiphone LP Classic.

The CLEEN is beautiful, and slamming accurate as desired, the dynamic is really excellent. It is similar fenderiens sounds while keeping a certain personality to be clean.

With the first at 6, ca crunch as it failed, there's nothing to say it's all light. It grows a little 8 or 9 and rhaaaaa nothing to say this deposit, ca breath away, but happiness, he has a fishing just amazing!

(I like a little less saturated fat pushed to the extreme, but it's a matter of musical influences, although I'm sure with a good pedal might be good for metal ... )

Power Level: So where anyone who thinks that 30W is insufisant be reassured! J'couvre widely repeated in my drummer pushing the 1 / 3 of its power. J'monte live a little higher, but I still have much margin (6-7 to 12). In any case for larger rooms are transplanted ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it regularly for 3 months, and there's nothing to say, every time I turn I'm sure j'vai spend a good while. The value for money is very interesting for those who want to get into the world of lamps without a portfolio inexhaustible. It is quite Polivalente and suit almost any style of music. I do not think it is especially fragile, I have not the vibration problem, you just take care to leave refroidire a good 20 minutes before moving. I do not put "only" 8, as it must probably be better elsewhere, but certainly not in the same price range ...

So here, I'm not ready to part with it anytime soon, that's for sure!

Amp lamp, an equivalent 30-watt high-powered 100-watt transistor. Incredible!

UTILIZATION

There are easily a sound .... One connects and rings.
Just a big trs default, the footswitch is not provided and does not control the boost. if anyone knows how to change the amp to control the boost distance Crivi me ...

SOUNDS

The variety I play rock, hard ... He is suitable for all styles, except possibly be the Black metal.
I use it with an Ibanez Js sries, a Boss pedals qualizer GE7, and a cry baby. The sound is typical bluesy, warm with lots of mdium. The Boss pedals I can get sound crisp and clear rev for rhythm. The distortion has a great sound but is a bit lgre. I replaced the lamp V1 (that of the cot between a Jack tung ground 12AX7) and got a big enough saturation to play the guitar HROS.
Important note: This amp has an impressive dynamic!
The engagement of the can of Boost scne to pass other instruments for solos, almost a little too efficient at times ...

OVERALL OPINION

I possde for only a few months, I am satisfied with TRS!!
small, lightweight, powerful, with a sound amplifier much more expensive and bulky.

Excellent quality price.

All-Lamp
30W-100W manufacturer but almost
"It is marked in the manual: 1 guitar input, which accepts all types of microphones" pickups "
Between a "feedback effects", "input jack for signals from devices ecternes treatment effects."
An output signal used to provide external devices signal processing effects.
1 output for connecting a speaker enclosure spare.
A plug for the footswitch (PDAL switch) that is an option pass to lead a normal channel and vice versa as well as control the rverbration (2 button footswitch).
-For the normal channel and volume settings available are the legalization (bass, midle, treble), and the rverbration boost.
For the lead channel is not saturated by the PRE and the volume control is done through POST other settings remain available to the exeption of the normal channel volume not NORMAL.
-No position "stand by" it is necessary to Permit Choffe Power on play and let cool slightly before the lights turn off.

UTILIZATION

-Simple configuration, this is my first amp and sound research is quickly obtained.
-The sound is the ds that triggers the power switch
-The manual is clear qu'crit well in an academic style but it is not.

SOUNDS

He knows how to move from Hey Joe Jimi Hendrix back in black AC / DC and maintenance of Master Of Puppets Metallica so yes it is versatile.
-I play it with my Epiphone Les Paul Studio a whale-shaped SG stratocaster a copy of an Italian maker of the 70 (Elli Sound) fender stratocaster with my teacher and with his Gibson SG 60s.
With the saturation-bottom and acute accent gives the sound has a magnificient angus young, seem to have a SG in his mains.Un trs hot with the channel clear.
-The clean channel is awesome and the little noise (or for the purists) emit the vibrations of the lamps is evidence of performance but can be dsagreable for use at low volumes.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for less than a month
-The sound, vintage look-weight or disadvantages of the lamps (fragile)
-I have a Valvetronix modeling ssay any electronic trs difficult to configure and unattractive and a 100W marshall dfx transistort. Nothing to do
The quality-price ratio trs good especially for an amp made in the United States, but it would be even less CHRE it does not bother us.
He did a concert in a large room fte volume was 2 / 12 he covered the sound of the room with a lot of presence.

This is a "small" all-tube amp (three 12AX7 and four EL84 in pramp in amplification) as that for an amp that is meant here must STRID low power ... .
Formal power is 30 watts, but in fact much more if indeed you find a place to push back ...
You have a switch on / off, a red light indicating power, a very practical effects loop to connect delays, etc ..., legalization of bass, mid, treble , a reverb, a master volume, a volume to use the preamp and the post for the level of sortie.Il is also a button (mid boost). Obviously there INPUT but also a footswitch jack and line out for connecting a speaker.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple effet.Si you plug your pedals scratched with a saturation for example, you will not spend a crazy time before you find the legalization plait.C sounds quickly trs thanks Chres these lamps.
I have no manual in English but not examples of rglages Gnant.
If you connect directly to your scratch using the saturation of the amplifier is the same, trs intuitive, easy to find a son.Vous also have the button for more midboost potato.

SOUNDS

Before sending the "pure" with your guitar amp let heat 10 minutes by my watch.
I love his "full" as the DGIG ampli.Toutes frquences the dynamics are lla carrment lamps is pleasurable (modlisations forget these tips, do your purist lol)
What is important to have a good sound of scratching is the quality of frquences medium (not to dplaise mtalleux) and well I guarantee that the v get along. .. scne studio.Du and clear sound majestic, flapping in the crunch rough or harmonically rich saturation, everything is l.
Personally I love connecting with a Boss SD1 overdrive the compressor CS3, all the sounds rock, big rock is under your fingers!
I plug an american series telecaster telecaster and a hybrid standard blade and Delta have a good balance between vintage sound and most of moderne.Avec humbuckers should do it as well .... to you to try .. ..

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some of the new features mois.Je MODEL (with new design and grille lights).
Trs is powerful, do not be fooled .... Arrtez to fantasize about amp heads which are 350watts! This is an all-tube amp, full of dynamics, precision frquences in (if you have a guitar sucks too). Tones vintage and modern.
The studio to check me up I do that 3 / 12 to give a ide.Sur scne 5-6.
It really is (d) thundering, thank you Peavey.
on the other hand regarding the criticism is true that the lamps or fittings are plutt vibration when playing a high volume.
It is a lamp that amp does not have standby button. (Anything!)
The amp when PSE same weight (the default of its quality is an amp lamps)
APRS some time to use the amp DGIG bcp chaleur.Attention touch the parts mtalliques ...
Yet this choice I would do what it sounds and that in view of its power, I do not need 100 watts or even a 50 for me and have heard the sound.
The report qualitprix is ​​good, there are more lights than a mesa F30.
I do not put that 8 because of the lack of standby and vibration.

30 W tube amp, hook you, given the size it is surprising ....
mm to the transistor, one wonders if it is on the way!
2 channels, bright, saturated
input, output external speaker but the speaker leaves home about .....
equalization effective, simpler you die
in 2 minutes you got all inclusive
or should we explain to you the weakest link!
on other amps, there's more buttons, more inputs, outputs
but they are not at the same price!

UTILIZATION

Archi simple
There's an entry, you choose, and you send the puree
yes it is because the word beyond 5, is already wear earplugs next!
and then you got more fun to play and to subtle changes if it amuses you
or take the super crunch or clean depending on the channel
and given the size of the machine, it surprises!
at the end of use, we can grill the sausages, although it is more likely to be great for circuits
more seriously, severe heat ca!

SOUNDS

I have a vox ac 30 alnico blue, I was looking for a 2nd ampicillin lamp cheaper to play with friends.
After playing on the vox, I started listening to the Calssic 30. immediately under low, medium, more aggressive, but so many sins! and then the seller offers to buy me a Marshall cabinet, which branch illico, above
and there! class, more size, less agesssivité and sound!
the vox is very different, great, I would not buy! at this price
but that for the price, it is sth very good for a very affordable price
I would say 7 for the base config
10 by adding a baffle
because the amp is well! remember 30 w lamps
we play in groups 2 Max repeated and it kills everybody if we want!

OVERALL OPINION

Amateur Blues broke, think: a great brand amp tube how much does it cost? (With 2 HP mini for the round)
ben there for half price, let alone ocaz, try, and you'll probably be surprised, but I truly believe that we must help him with a cabinet in addition to the roundness of his
hardcore fans, nothing to do with it, it's too "hot"
beginner guitar, it grows strong, it quickly gets upset with the neighbors. to play alone, too much!
at the last rehearsal, he tried everything: Start us, lag prestige, ibanez half cash, prs, missing a gibson, but we had a very similar guitar luthier
and although the vox, it had its place, excellent, but the sound was harder to find. the fart that hard without thinking!
when you see the price, I wonder if back I will not do the opposite. starting with the peavey
but it is true that the only hp base, or with a baffle There's a huge difference!
buy it!

Amplification Type: lamps (pre: 3 x 12AX7, amp: 4 EL84).
HP 12 inch Blue Marvel (its very hot, round, and collects a lot of power).
Power: 30W Tube
Effects loop (we would have liked a volume on the effects loop), exit HP additional footswitch output.
Basic settings for an amp, but only one EQ for both channels (overdrive channel is actually boosted the channel clear). Presence of a boost button to accentuate the upper midrange. Spring reverb.

7 / 10 because not stand bye and footswitch not included, for the rest, no problem.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, it finds its very easy, the manual offers some examples of settings (rock, country, metal and blues)

SOUNDS

I play with a Mexican Start and this amp allows me to play nearly any style. It is extremely versatile (great big rock, pop, funk, blues, modern sounds, vintage etc ...) to the metal as it goes but there should be a good distortion pedal between the guitar and amp settings and adequate level the equalizer (you still have to clarify that the basis is not an amp set for that). It is a relatively typed amp anyway, we like it or not, the sound is pretty loaded in medium and high amp and very direct.
I mainly play on the clean channel, the guitar is plugged directly into the ampicillin or with a Boss ME50 multi-effects. All sounds nikel spend the distos, modulation etc ... I used very little of the effects loop.
Live (no effect) the sound is remarkably warm, round, slamming and precise (less than but close fender anyway)
The channel offers a distos well saturated rock, gonna have a big crunch of the overdrive (I find it lacks a bit of gain, in fact you get more than a large overdrive distortion ca se, but can already play acdc, deep purple with no problems) When I want a larger distortion, I add a boost pedal input and the problem is solved.
I do not use the boost button, the sound is dirty and unnatural.
The reverb is effective but adds a lot of noise so I would like to use one of my multi-effects.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought mine 4 months ago nine 550 euros. I had some small problems at the beginning: microphone lights, vibration and so on. I had to do for service, I returned lamps that would not last short, a whole bunch of little things that have nearly make me regret my purchase at a given time. Upon reflection, I do it again this election if it again, this is my first tube amp, I am quite satisfied. Before I played on a Marshall AVT50 nothing to do (although I still love my marshall)!

Plus: The sound, versatility, the look, finish quality, ease of use, size and power
Value for great price.

The least: General design of the amp really below: quality of the body (vibrations at certain frequencies), the problems of vibration of the lamps very often, it gets hot in the back, reliability problems encountered in a lot of people , transformer noise, there is no stand bye.
