Description
Small all-tube combo with a vintage looking tweed covering, chrome panel, and chicken head knobs – and better than new with the recent installation of a new Weber Blue Dog Classic British ($110/direct), defined by its warm, clear, loud, detailed high end that doesn’t get hard or harsh at high volumes, aggressive, big low end, more headroom than the AlNiCo version. The Classic 30 offers incredible value for a quality American made tube amp. It’s a fantastic club amp with enough power to play larger sized rooms. I frequently compare them to Fender’s Tube Series and, quite honestly, when I’ve had these set up at shows next to comparable Fenders like the Blues or Hot Rod Deluxe, the Classic 30 was almost universally chosen for superior tone – and the Peavey is USA made!. Features an all-tube circuit with a matched quad of JJ EL84’s cranking out 30 watts through 16 ohms – with three 12AX7’s in the preamp. Nice sounding EQ that really does something, and very versatile with a crisp clean tone with plenty of headroom – and enough gain to satisfy nearly every rock player. Features two channels plus boost for 3 distinct tones, selectable via switches on panel or via optional footswitch. Pre- and post-gain controls on lead channel; Normal volume control on clean channel. It also features a footswitchable spring reverb that sounds very good, very vintage, and an effects loop. Full specs, manual, and sound clips, check out Peavey’s Site here. Click here for a good demo from Peavey but keep in mind that this is the stock speaker and it sounds even better with this Weber Blue Dog. There are a bunch of YouTube demo’s, here’s one and here. Optional footswitch, which uses a stereo 1/4″ jack, not included but I may have a 2-button switch for $25 if desired. Recently discontinued but these sold new for $649. This one’s in immaculate condition and even with the new Blue Dog, priced at $559.
