Members GuitarNoobie Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Any reasons why I shouldn't buy a Peavey Classic 30? No, there is no reason at all you shouldn't buy one. It's a great amp !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fireproof Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Definitely buy it! I can't believe I waited so long - I love mine. I just recently bought a brand new one in box off of a music store on ebay for only $425. Great bargain, full warranty, yadda yadda. Here's one from the same seller I also upgraded the tubes from Eurotubes and love the new sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Peavey Classic 30s are great sounding amps and probably the best tube amp for the money.The footswitch is an extra, it cost me about $25.00 when i bought my Classic 30.

Members GuitarNoobie Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Classic 30 from MusicGoRound and found the cabinet on Ebay, but the guy was local. Total cost, including the 4x12 Cabinet, all used... $495 including shipping. my neighbors hate me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members K3Fallout Posted June 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 The most local thing is a GC and I never seen them carry Peavey Classics. I think there are some "mom and pop" stores near by me as well but I've never checked.Craigslist,has some but my parents..just dont trust used at all in general. There's a Classic 50 Halfstack for 500 on Craigslist that is pretty near me too. I'll make them read this topic and see if you fellas can convince them otherwise EDIT: This is the place that has em for me: www.bananas.com It's not listed on their site but their store has about 4-5.

Members Prages Posted June 22, 2006 Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 I got mine for $200 from a local pawn shop. As for speaker and tube swaps...the amp sounds fine in stock form. It just sounds a lot better with a better speaker and a little better still with better tubes. When I did my speaker swap, forgive the expression, it was like somebody took a blanket off the amp. Seriously though. The tone got a lot crisper and more defined, but was still warm and fuzzy. The tube swapped made a little difference, but not near as much as the speaker. I used a Celestion G12H30, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't a lot of people upgrade the speaker to a Celestion Greenback and JJ tubes? I don't see whats so bad about it stock? nothing really if you can be happy with it as is, it sounds great right out of the box. but if after you hear/play some that have been upgraded youll be wanting to do the same, simply because a better speaker+tubes equals better tone. a speaker change can really change the tone of an amp, in some cases alot. as much as i love the stock C30 i upraged the 2nd one i had and it was a nice improvement. especially at higher volumes, it killed that slightly boxy tone, and even at low volumes i thought the improvement was well worth the cost of the speaker/tubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members K3Fallout Posted June 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2006 Does the Classic sound great at low volumes? This is going to be my first tube amp so I'm pretty excited. I remember someone saying something about it doing tube breakup at low volumes..I really don't remember what the exact statement was but either way I don't know what that means.
