Members 58Paul Posted July 14, 2006 Members Share Posted July 14, 2006 Nice tone! Sounds great! I guess we all dont need to spend big money on amps to sound good after all! What speakers were you playing through? Guitar used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, here we go:Guitar: stock SG std.Tubes: Groove TubesSpeaker, mic etc: Well I am actually running the amp through a home made attenuator/load box and an Ultra G speaker emulator straight into the mixer. EQ settings: Pre 10Post 8Bass 8Mids 5Treble 6Master 11 ( )Presence 9FX: Vox V830 Distortion/booster with the Gain, Tone and Level all set at 12 o' clock. (for faster parts only)The delay is a factory preset on the g-major.That's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members draelyc Posted July 14, 2006 Members Share Posted July 14, 2006 Nice clip! I don't know much about the Classics -- other than that they're popular 'round here. Very crunchy... Lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have the G-major in the loop for delay. But 99% of the clip is just the amp's natural OD, I just used the dist pedal for a little extra gain some of tthe fast passages.

Members soundchaser59 Posted July 15, 2006 Members Share Posted July 15, 2006 I guess if I wanted people to hear the sound of my amp, I would just stick a mic in front of the speaker and skip all the pedals and boxes.... Dont get me wrong, the guitar sound in the clip is awesome, great licks, etc........ I recently caught the Peavey Classic 30 fever, so I have straight unmitigated Classic 30 sound all on my brain right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, but I live in a small apartment and I can't really mic a tube amp here.. Anyway, the tone on the clip is pretty much what the amp sounds like in real life. The only parts where I used the dist pedal are the faster licks but I am using the pedal more like a clean boost. The slow licks and the rhythm parts are 100% amp distortion glad to hear you like the C30.. I have a C30 as well.. IMHO, Peavey Classic series is one the best sounding amps in the market, and the price is sweet too. I'm dying to try the new Windsor though.

Members IKE Posted July 15, 2006 Members Share Posted July 15, 2006 Somebody grab me a shovel, cause I dig it. I gotta check into an attenuater, I have a classic-50 4x10 and I can't get close to that tone without blowing the hats off the neighbors down the block.

Members Jokoker Posted July 15, 2006 Members Share Posted July 15, 2006 The playing was real cool! I liked that thing you did around 00:53. The tone kinda reminds me of Vai. Anyway, I'm still deciding between the Classic 30 and the Traynor ycv40. How well does the Peavey do cleans? Could you post a clip? Thanks.

I gotta check into an attenuater, man the attenuator really changed my life!! I used to have one rig for small gigs, one for large gigs, one for home practice etc.. and I could never get consistent results from one rig to the other.. Now I can use the same rig for everything, thanks to the attenuator. It's a MUST HAVE for anyone who digs tube tone (and who doesn't?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Little Guitars Posted July 15, 2006 Members Share Posted July 15, 2006 Awesome clip! I didn't know Classic 50's sounded like that. Sweet playing, too. Reminded me of Sykes a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PlayboyChris Posted July 15, 2006 Members Share Posted July 15, 2006 Excellent clip. I have a Classic 50 2x12 combo that sounds great on its own, truly incredible through a closed back cab. The same is true of the Classic 30. Run these amps through an extension cab (closed back especially) and you'll be amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bluesboy Posted July 15, 2006 Members Share Posted July 15, 2006 your palm mutes that start right in the beginning sound thin and weak, and your lead tone is also a bit thin IMO... not too impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members als_lespaul Posted July 15, 2006 Members Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm going to have to say both clips sound amazing to me!! What a great amp for the price. Well done.Perhaps that knucklehead that called himself "an elitist" in another thread around here needs to check this clip.....considering he essentially called Peavey and Carvin amps crap.
