frankyp « great value for its price-weight »
Published on 09/27/08 at 06:20First opinion in April 2008 and September 08 in addition:
Peavy Classic 30 head of all lamps is made in the United States: four EL84 power tubes and 3 12AX7.
it is given to 30 W, while with this config there are 50 or 60 W: So 30 watts BIG! reverb (good) and an effects loop. 2 switchable channels and a boost at the foot general one EQ for both channels.
simple connection, but too simple, in fact: it lacks a standby switch and especially impedance: That's the big problem: all the pubs, there is writing 8 or 16 ohms. However, it is only 16 ohms, and point bar! I don 't have to keep that head to buy another cabinet (Marshall TSLC212)
So: power: great, super ... (100W all-tube, with sound systems, it is "wrong")
connection: problem! ... that said, it provides a powerful all-tube head but not too much and lightweight: 13 kg .... 7 / 10 for the beauty of the head and its own power despite bp ohms, stand by .....
UTILIZATION
Config very simple, the clean channel has only volume, channel and drive, the meadow is the gain, and the post is the volume.
SOUND: beautiful, beautiful!! and heat lamps, the more ecstatic ...
the manual, I have but I especially looked for the impedance: it was no help as it confuses the combo and head!
September 08: I maintain that it's still serious than say 8 or 16 ohms, whereas it is 16 ohms or more!
against by the stand-by, I learned to do without it: you finished playing? you put your knobs to 0, you wait 4-5 minutes, and you can mute the sound without the "plop" that's a bit scary ...
SOUNDS
Hardcore metalheads, it's not for you (unless adequate pedal) ballochards or variety (I was too), either: it is a head ROCK! Who does not like to be transported too! from blues to classic rock or hard: ideal.
the crystal clear sound is less warm but more than fender.
the sounds are very saturated and sharp, hot (as long to go through the appropriate HP: Cel eg V30).
I use the clean channel especially with my effects, and channel II is mainly used to boost me the solo with 3 or 4 pre and post gain on 6, 7 or 8.
You can imagine the disappointment with config, I would have made! but I fell in love with the sound, better than the combo (which, however, has 8 or 16 ohms), through my marshall with her big TLSC212 Celestion (V30 Vintage 30 and Heritage)
OVERALL OPINION
LATEST NEWS: NO LONGER MADE! And yes the manufacturing States is expensive, and the new heads are made elsewhere affordable .... COTE will rise up ....
Cons: impedance 16 ohms + not stand by.
the most: the sounds, the look, weight, size, power (it has no pb to move a 4 * 12 400W)
reasonable price in stock Euroguitar up to € 639 qand?
