Great video...Thanks. Have this one going into a 2X12 also ....amazing clean and a great pedal platform for sure! Looked at a few others but always came back to this on...really like the direct audio out too. Bought it 5 years ago for 750$ new . Now it's 1080$..... (1200$ Canadian with our taxes)!! If you want a tube amp in your life don't wait! They're not getting cheaper :) I'd recommend this one to anyone anytime. Thanks again for this.
I have this one too, it has so many great features like fx and reverb on/off. Also the emulated speaker xlr output is awesome. I use it as a solution for silent playing just straight into soundcard.
Finally got one! Sounds amazing. Only thing is it seems to run super hot - ever have an issue with this? It’s no problem changing tubes often but I don’t wanna sacrifice the board getting fried if I can make just get it biased colder
Thanks for the review. When this head came out, on paper, it looked like the perfect amp for me. Two channels, reverb, line out. But Peavy may have got a bit of a bad wrap regarding quality/durability. An anyone comment on that. Had a great Classic 30 I sold a few years ago. Nice amp but to get it to sound nice its volume needed to be pushed too hard. Small bar gigs are the most I do.
I had a Peavey Express 112 circa 1994. It sounded very good clean, but its distortion channel sounded brittle. I started running a Boss DS1 to it instead of the gain channel. It was an 85 watt solid state and I bought it because it was cheaper than a Marshall 10 watt solid state at the time (around $275.00 at the time). The lows were low and the highs crisp, but it always sounded mid-scooped, which suited my cleans at the time. I gifted the Express 112 to my cousin a few years later and it blew up on stage at a local gig midway through his set. I use a Fender Princeton lately with a couple of mid-push pedals to get closer to a genuine Vox AC30 sound before Korg acquired them. I think I’m going Super Reverb next.
Had a 50w 2 x 12 Peavey Classic ages ago and loved it. Recently bought a 20w mini head and for me it was a toss up between this and the Hughes & Kettner tubemeister 20. For various reasons I went for the H&K and it's great but could easily have gone for the Peavey which for all the reasons identified, is also a great amp.
Peavey has always been solid to mne. For metal, for blues, anything. I would grab one of these. Btw, I tuned out after the 6th "Ummmm" for the love of God script. Script. Jesus Christ you said "ummm" another 4 times since I started writing this comment. Stop it that drives me insane I can't be the only one. Script dude. If you can't think off the cuff, script your videos and read them.
@@Randolphguitars hmm 🤔 it has been a minute since I've actually played on one... maybe the one I used was broken in some way... idk anywho.. to answer both questions... I've used a good bit of peavey amps before. Still would, if they'd bring back the transefex pro lol but yeah... let's see, the classic 30, the Windsor head 100w, and the mace VT from 1972(which was a hybrid badass sludge amp)... All three would scream at me if I plugged certain digital pedals in them.. i.e. the boss phase and ds1 would just screech the amps out
Great video...Thanks.

always a good day when i get a new notification from you
🥺🥺🥺
Remember selling my Marshal stack in 1980 to get a Peavey Classic combo so I could transport it around. Did the job.
Great video I own a Peavey delta blues 210 love it 😎

Kool video, thank you.
Super cool
I have a Peavey Deuce. Killer classic rock amp. Skynyrd tones all day long.

While it doesn’t bother me as much as this guy, cleaning that up would be nice
What speakers are in the Marshall cab you were playing through?
Yep, they sound good.
Do you think the combo would also be good for a non-gigging bedroom player?
Those amps are great but very picky when it comes to pedals*
I'm so confused what are you basing this off?
I found the opposite, it takes pedals great in front and in the fx loop
