Published on 05/14/11 at 08:12Tube amp
• 30 watts
• HP 12 "
• Lamps 3x12X7 + 4 EL84
• 2 Channel Preamp
• 3-band EQ
• Spring Reverb
Side connections, everything is there: effects loop, footswitch output, speaker output.
A vintage look to die for.
In fact it is a copy of the classic 30 Peavey, but some more than in the latter (grille lamps, a master volume and by st) is also larger than the Peavey
UTILIZATION
No need for manual, just turn the knobs and find his sound.
It is not difficult with a tube amp.
SOUNDS
His side, no problem, we are well within the lamps.
The heat is less slamming into a Fender clean, but very good.
The drive channel is excellent, bluesy rock, a treat with some guitar whatsoever.
It also accepts pedals very well (me I plug those they live, I do not use the effects loop).
Reverb, do his job, without more, we are not in depth but I'm not big fan of reverb, so it suits me perfectly.
Maybe the change of HP would be a plus for sonorotées clean, but what exists is good, to be seen over time.
In short, the sound is very similar to the Peavey Classic 30.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been a while since I was looking for a 30 W max amp, the Classic 30 Paevey I liked, but I found it too expensive!
I tried lots of models, either too expensive or not so terrible compared to my idea of sound.
It is no accident that I discovered this amp, no longer being manufactured now, so virtually untraceable, since it is only in "music leader" custodian of the brand, and also it is no longer in their catalog.
I was lucky to find it, try it and take it in a store or group tournover sales is low (it was certainly the last in France).
For 259 € (2 times cheaper than the Peavey), there's really nothing to say, the finish is good, the look and sound terrible and vintage.
If you find it, go ahead try it ............
