Peavey Classic 30 Electric Guitar Amp

The all-tube Peavey Classic 30 Electric Guitar Amp is the newest steed in this line of workhorses. Thirty watts are generated via the heat of seven tubes—three 12AX7s and four EL84s—that are protected by a steel cage. Two of the 12AX7s push the preamp and the third compliments the EL84s in the power section. The amp has two channels—in the Peavey Classic tradition—and an op amp driven spring reverb, which is situated at the bottom of the cabinet beneath a Celestion Midnight 60-watt speaker. A footswitch for channel switching and boost is included, though it can’t be used for the reverb, which is also foot-switchable and requires a second footswitch.

The control panel is top-mounted and features a single volume control for the normal channel and pre and post controls for the second channel. There’s a button between the normal and pre sections that switches between channels, which are remarkably different, but more on that later. There’s also a reverb level control and an EQ section with bass, mid, and treble knobs. Each chicken head knob goes up to 12 (which is two louder—and better—than 10, of course)! The EQ section serves both channels.

Between the mid and treble controls you’ll find another button marked “boost.” This is the Classic 30’s cool new wrinkle. The boost kicks up the gain and opens up the top end in a warm and colorful way. Like the EQ dials it can be used with both channels. There are also I/O jacks for the sparkly clean effects loop (although I prefer to stack my pedals in front of the amp’s signal), on/off and standby toggles, plus a pilot light so you know when you’re in business.

The Peavey Classic 30 Electric Guitar Amp is revered by blues, country and rock players alike. These true all-tube amps span the tonal landscape from vintage to contemporary with ease. These amps are drenched in the tone that can only come from the combination of three 12AX7 and four EL84 tubes. Add features like 3-band EQ, footswitchable dual channels, footswitchable boost and reverb and you have one of the most versatile amplifiers on the market. The Classic 30 now ships with the all new Celestion Midnight 60 12″ speaker! Classic looks, classic tone, Classic 30!
