The Peavey Classic 30

I really want one...

However, are there any other good choices in the same price range? I want an all tube amp that can take some pedals...

(look! I posted in another forum!)
 
I think most guys around here will tell you that its the best value in that price range....The Orange Tiny Terror that I tried was great but then you need a speaker cabinet....more money.
 
I love mine, and you can sometimes find great deals on a used one. I've had mine for 3 or 4 years, but I only paid $200 for it.

The older crate Vintage Clubs, and the newer Palominos and V-Series get quite a bit of praise, but I have to admit, I've never played one myself.

I've also heard a lot of people talking about how good the new 5 Watt Blackstar is.

But that's just the head. Add another couple hundred for a cabinet.

And with Classic 30s, there are plenty of used ones on the market for under $400.

Yeah? For the half stack? I always assumed that was just the head.


I gotta hear a full demo of one of those suckers. Everyone raves about them. I dont often see the used SoCals for sale but they seem to run around 300-350 for the head. I dont know about the cab. I wonder if I'd like the Classic 30 as much as I like what I hear from the Epi.

I'm talking about the Classic 30 combo. There aren't too many used heads on the market, because they've only been around for a year or two.

I don't know if you'd like the Classic 30 or not. I really love it, but you play a lot heavier music than I do, so it may not have enough bawlz for the stuff you play.

Oh. I thought we were talking half stacks. :embarrassed:
 
Just watched the video.

It sounds good, but I really don't hear anything that I can't get out of my Classic 30, except for the reverb. The Epi's reverb sounds more lush to me. I'd expect the Epi to have a deeper, fuller tone than the C30, since it's going through a 412, but you can always run the C30 through a 412 if that's what you want.

I don't know. It sounded good, but didn't really steal me away from my Classic. :embarrassed:

Real men ALWAYS use 4x12s.














:tongue:
 
I've never regularly gigged a 1/2 stack. I've got one, but I've only gigged with it a couple of times. It's just not worth the hassle to me.
 
I just found a classic 30 about an hour from me that someone is selling for $200.

Yup - I'm rubbing it in and will continue to do so when I pick it up.

biggrin

Sweet!!!

Didn't you just get a C30 head, or was that somebody else?

Yup - I got the C30 head - and just picked up the Celestions for it to build a 2x12 cabinet this morning.

For $200 I can keep the C30 combo at my practice space.

This is why I have no money for recording :(
