Members woodsmandan Posted July 29, 2007 Members Share Posted July 29, 2007 Well, can it ? I mean hurt itself, I know it will hurt anything in front of it and probably kill any bird flying to low ... I took mine outside on the deck today and tried it at full volume for the first time. I love the crunch it can get on the clean channel with everything maxed out. I would love to use it on my next outdoor gig where the sheer volume of it wont be too destructive...but can it withstand an hour of full volume, uninterrupted use ? The stock speakers sounded like they were gonna blow out...it sounded good, but it sounded as if the speakers were dying a slow and painfull death at the same time...

Members JorisBlack Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 Well, normally, if they let the buttons go that far, the amp can handle it!The tubes will be at full throttle though, so they will be pushed harder and therefore they will go bad sooner (but not within an hour of course).

Members guitarNed Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have a Peavey Classic 50 212. I've wondered what would happen if I played it for an hour flat out. I *said* I have *WONDERED* what would HAPPEN if I played it FLAT OUT for an HOUR. No, not SOUR, HOUR, ONE HOUR. What are you, {censored}ing HEARING IMPAIRED? Not long-haired, fool, HEARING IMPAIRED. Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BootRoots Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 short answer is NO. crank it up. (if you notice those amps go to 12 not 11!) rawk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 I doubt that it'll hurt the amp. However, I've found the sweet spot on them is really around 6, not all the way up. I think they start to get kind of mushy all the way up. That's just a personal preference though. If you like that tone, you could always get some kind of attenuator and get pretty damned close to that same tone at non-life-threatening volumes.

Members Steve Drojo Posted July 30, 2007 Members Share Posted July 30, 2007 Trust me, every Classic 50 amp I've owned I've put Celestions in(Relic 30, Vintage 30/G12H30 or Greenback). In this amp, a couple 10s were blown so we changed the baffle and put in a Relic 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
