"Amps in a room" and that's it. Refreshing... So sick of wall of sound, plug in's and pedal boards the size of a VW Bug.
I feel ya.
I'm more of a floor of sound and pedalboard the size of a Hummer kinda guy.
I agree, that’s why I’m a big Richie Kotzen fan. Usually just a telecaster, an amp, and one small multi effect pedal and a wah. Oh, and no guitar picks either!
That Peavey is killing it. The balance in tone is ridiculous🎸🎸💯💯
Peavey classic 50's are highly underrated!
Marshall cleans are often overlooked/underrated
All 3 amps sound great
Oh, that Peavey DOES sound nice! There's really something special about a 4 x 10".
Thanks for doing this shootout! The Peavey actually to me sounds fullest and most pleasing, both clean and dirty. All three sound really great in their own way.
I too preferred the Peavey overall in this particular instance.....color me surprised!!!
The peavey sounded great but I noticed you always smiled after you played the Fender. I’ve been playing for fifty years and had a lot of different amps including the brands you just demonstrated and now I own five Fender amps and they are the only amps I’ll play. Love your channel.
All three sound great!! The one thing I got from watching this is try and get the sound you want out of the amps you own!!!😆😎🎸🎸🎸🎸
Actually, that's exactly what I got from this video too!
That fender just sound magical
1) Peavey 2) Marshall 3) Fender. Man that Peavey Classic was a good score 😊
Great shootout! The Peavey sounded the best to me. Much more fidelity and texture to all the tones and styles you featured. I can, however, glean how the other two amps could be more viable depending on usage. Love you channel!
After seeing the recent video of the Peavey Classic 50 that you acquired I instantly went on a search for one. I bought one built in 2006 directly from Peavey that had been stored in their warehouse for a while. I'm sitting by the window right now waiting for the FedEx truck to deliver it. Thanks for making me aware of that great amp!!
great feeling...enjoy

Thanks 👍👍
Having just bought a Classic 30, I was predisposed to liking the Peavey and it sure sounds great. But there’s really nothing quite like a nice Fender clean tone. One thing worth mentioning is that the Peaveys, whether the Classic 50 or the Classic 30, are real bargains on the used market. I got my Classic 30 for $350 (and probably could have bargained a bit) so I’m set with a serious 30 watt gig-ready tube amp for about the price of a Katana 100. Thanks for a great shootout, Shane!
I'm loving the new format and content! channelling your inner guitarist for sure!
Great shoot out Shane ! I think the Peavey souned the best followed by the Marshall (which I own) and then the Fender. Cheers !
I think you have the perfect amp collection for 99% of us out here. You have all your bases covered with 3 amps that are both loud enough to gig and can be quiet enough for at home. 1 British, 1 American and honestly I always thought peaveys goal as an amp company was to design amps that had a fender clean channel and a Marshall dirty channel which created a unique tone. Personally, I’m a bit of a Peavey fan boy so I prefer the classic, but I must admit that Fender blues deluxe on the dirty channel sounded pretty damn good. 👍
Very NICE Shane! Liked all 3! All a little different but all GOOD! \m/
I'm a blues player...but also i'm a Country player and i go to Peavey, sounds fuller and warmth...
Great comparison, Shane!
I use a vintage Fender and love the clean tones, but here I preferred the Peavey, then Fender. For dirt the Marshall sounded best to me, by far. Great vid Shane! 👍
Fantastic stuff Shane..this is exactly what us ogs are looking for in all honesty..the ir game is getting tired already as is so endless and all just different shades of the same colors..theres nothing better than pushing air and getting all of those beautiful harmonics singing and dancing.. killer job bro
IR can never stack up to a speaker moving air mate!
Absolutely correct 😊
preferred the marshall in this demo , clean and dirty ....
Fender for the cleans with Peavey riding its heels. Marshall for the crunch with Fender behind it. And for the single note playing they all sound pretty good. I think overall I'd give it to Fender for the blues. Marshall for rock. And Peavey for most adaptive.
All 3 are very usable. If I showed up and any of these were the backline amp, I could live with it. I'd prefer the Fender, tho.
Great video Shane
I really liked the peavy ❤ 🔥
My 4 10 Fender DeVille was an awesome sounding amp. I've had some of the 210 versions, but the 410 version was something special.
Excellent review Shane. :)
Really nice video. Based solely on my preference in tone, Peavey, Fender and Marshall in that order. I'd never heard one of those Peaveys before and I like it. I always have been more on the dark side of tone.
I have a Marshall DSL40 and I love it. I agree it is incredibly versatile. However, for what you played here I personally thought the Peavey really stood out. All sound great. Thanks for the content!
I have a 1991 Peavey Classic 50 4x10 & it’s an amazing amp. I have a Vox AC-10 for the bedroom, but I won’t play a show without that Peavey.
Had a Peavy Classic built in Mississippi USA back in the late 1970s. It had EV force speakers and Mesa Boogie 6l6's in it when I got it. Was a Mississippi Marshall and possibly the best amp I ever had. Was a Fender Twin bred with a Marshall Plexi . Traded it for a Mesa Boogie mark 3 in the early eighties because I cared about being in style. Peavey ruled in the 1970s in America after Leo sold Fender to CBS. And would like to add the built in Phasor (Instead of Tremolo) on some Peaveys back then, is some of the best Phase sounds every produced. And Hartke Peavy's logo he designed himself was insanely cool .
Clean…Peavey all day everyday for my ears. Overdrive the Marshall gets my vote.
Man, that PV is a beautiful thing! I replaced a failing JTM60 with a new Bandit and it was love at first listen. I have a couple Fenders but....the PV......just nails what I want.
Great video, but I had to laugh when you mentioned the non-stock "Texas Heat" speaker (by Eminence) in the Marshall here. I just bought a DSL40CR and was reviewing videos on them, when I came upon your review from six years ago. At the very end of that review, you are looking into the camera and state: "would I go changing the speaker in this amp? Not a chance...". LOL! Thx for comparing! My first amp was a Peavy, and an original Fender USA Hod Rod Deluxe has been my mainstay for the last 20 yrs. Bought the Marshall to make up for the JCM800 head/cab I stupidly sold years ago.
Peavey sounds killer 🎶🎸
The Marshall stands out beautifully 👍🏽
Love the guitar gear vids Bud
I Think Peavey is overall the best amp! 🥰In the budget or compared to more expensives ones! I’ve never played on 4x10 (i played only 2x12) but i must to!
Hands down, I liked the clean on the Marshall best, and the distortion tone on the Fender the least. The Peavy sounded OK, but was muddy and dark to my ear.
Hi Shane, I think I was the guy who bought your Blues Dlx with the Lorantz speaker off you years ago! I sold it a year or so later, but ended up with another one anyway and sold that years back, now I have a feeling that I may get yet another. Just waiting for a Tonemaster version 🤣
I also switch the speaker to an eminence swamp thing in my fender deluxe reverb, also another mod I did was to use tone bones to switch out the 6L6 power stage valves to EL84 it reduces to output of the amp from 40 to 15 ish but the sound was the best thing ever. Shane give that a try I’m telling you really amazing
Very good comparison. To me Fender first Peavey close second then Marshall. Both the Fender and Peavey had a fuller sound with clear midrange in clean modes. Peavy a bit muddy. Marshall did have a better sound in crunch high gain mode. Thanks for sharing
Shane, my DSL 40C was a Sweetwater Exclusive. It came loaded with a U.K. made Creamback. It doesn't sound nearly as bright or glassy as yours, which for me is exactly what I like. I gotta a solid line on a Classic 50 a month or so prior to you getting yours. It;s not as clean as yours, but it sounds great. The guy's looking for right at $1000 USD. Is that a fair deal? The wife says if one comes in, two have to go out, so I'm kinda hesitant. LOL Great comaprison, and I give the slight edge to the DSL.
Great stuff. I bought the 50th anniversary 1 watt Marshall JTM and JMP amps when they came out. I have owned almost every modeler out there and still prefer the amp tones from both these gems. I have larger amps too... but with a few pedals I just get the tones I want from the smaller size amps.
Peavey Clean Sounds good but nothing beats Marshall for classic rock. Fender is the best country amp especially with the telecaster!
Peavey made some excellent kit back in the day. I've got one of their MIA basses and eight MIA guitars, heavy as boat anchors but excellent sound.
Killer video! I like the peavey for the clean. It sounds dark and creamy. The fender dirty was killer. I would have to go with….one of each :)
I have a DSL40 and love it but Dude that Peavey sounds soooooo good.
Peavey, Marshall and last Fender. I'm glad someone else thinks the Marshalls are too bright. I have a DSL20HR plugged into a Line6 4x12" with Vintage 30s and always have the Treble cut back to about 25% and Bass; Mids cranked.
This is a good comparison... Did you try the swamp thang in the Marshall and if so what did you think of that combination?
On the clean stuff, the Marshall has a nice open lower end. I liked the high end roll off of the Peavey. And the Fender seemed to bridge the gap between the two.
Peavey for clean, Marshall for Gain 😃
Peavey have that classic Lynyrd Skynyrd sound off Second Helping, just on the edge of breaking up, alwys great.
Total toss up between the Peavey and the Fender. Using both with an A/B/Y pedal would be absolutely brilliant!
I have the older DSL40C which I swapped speakers to a Swamp Thing. Also have a stock Fender Blues Deluxe and a Traynor Guitar Mate Reverb with a Celestion Creamback Neo. For versatility I find the Marshall is the best. The Traynor, while unsure if you can find one in Australia, is a clean, beautiful tone master. Does take pedals well although mine is 54 years old.
Solution to the Telecaster input jack: Electrosocket.
The Marshall isn't my favorite but it is when playing with a band.
That top end is bright for a reason.
For the clean,I prefer the Fender,and also for drive!
I own a Blues Jnr , and possibly why I liked the Fender sound the best. The Peavy is a different sound and might be a good candidate for a TPS style two amp set up - if you can be bothered schlepping 2 amps just be told to turn down!
Interesting to hear the comparison, Shane. I thought the Marshall had significantly more presence across the board. The Fender a little thinner overall, and the Peavey may not have translated well in this particular test. To me, the Peavey sounded just a tad small and boxy in comparison, particularly to the Marshall. I don't expect that was the room sound, though. I wonder how the Artist Tweedtone 20 would have fared? Thanks.
Marshall for me
I have that amplifier and it’s an absolute monster.
They all sound great. On crunch, the Peavy sounds more subdued. The Marshal and the Fender were both quite crisp. The Fender kills is it!
With the Amps set how they were in this video, I preferred the Peavey clean, but the Marshall dirt
First time through/one listen to the video, I have to say Peavey was my preference overall. I did like the Marshall more than I thought I would, maybe because of that speaker change. I'd have to go back through again to get specific, but the amp that impressed me most was the C50.
I think that you can use all these in the drive channel.
Play parts for each guitar to complement each other, not compete with one another…
Peavey: leave the tone settings alone on both guitar and amp. Use it as a basic rhythm track.
Fender: maybe turn the brightness down a little and use it as a second rhythm track. A little quieter.
Marshall: 40 watt mode. Turn down the brightness for sure. Get that Marshall mid tone snarl going for lead..
Love It, good some body still doing this type of shoot out.... Can you get a Vox for another test???
Very impressed by the Peavey. It's an inexpensive amp, and it's quite cheaply made. If you look inside the chassis you'll see some of the cheapest components you can buy.
But! The amp sounds amazing! Our lead guitarist played a Peavey Classic 30, and this guy sounded phenomenal. So in my opinion, the Peavey is the clear winner here. I'd buy the Fender if I had to buy one of these three amps though. That's just more of my kinda sound.
The money initially saved by buying the Peavey will be more than lost after the first visit to the repair shop
Repair shop😂
It will be the last to end up there.
the old intro music FTW!!!
It’s back! I might use it again haha 😀 cheers man
I like the Fenders clean, even though there is very little difference in my speakers between Marshall and Fender.
Crunch: Marshall, then Fender and lastly the Peavey
Clean - Peavey
Dirty - Marshall
That’ll be my choice
Great video bud, Fender clean, Marshall dirt get my vote. Peavey sounded like it had a bag over it.
1. Initial clean sounds: the Peavey had more low mids than either of the other two. Marshall sounded a bit thin, like it needed to be turned up to conduct some current & move some air. Peavey lacked presence. I didn't mind the Fender, which surprised me because I find the Blues and Hotrod Deluxe amps to be a bit 'hard'.
2. Crunch sounds: the Marshall sounded like a Marshall. If that's your sound, you're golden. If not, you're outta luck. Sounded noticeably thicker (and better) in 40 Watt mode. The Fender sounded thin, but the distortion itself wasn't offensive: judicious use of the vol & EQ should get something useable. The Peavey sounded congested & lacking in high frequency detail. I didn't hate it, but I might if I had to listen to it all night and couldn't adjust it.
Peavey's classic line has never gotten its due. I'm a hobbyist, sure, so i don't beat the dookey outta 'em, but my '93 112 classic 30 and '06 115 delta blues does anything i need short of super high gain, and have NEVER seen the inside of the repair shop!
I love it. Great shootout man!!!! I'd like to see an in depth shoot out or a "How close is modeling " shoot out blind tone samples. Where people comment on which is which and you mention it on another video to prevent "I knew that " hahahah. I'm sure many will be able to tell, but man some of these new tech companies are creating believable value in Amp modeling. Some claim the feel is close too these Days on some pedals or multi platforms.
Ie...Modeling pedal or etc to the real actual Amp being modeled.
Wow! Peavey all the way!
Clean: Marshall by a mile. Rich, thick, creamy.
Dammit, now I’m gonna have to buy a peavey classic 50
Peavey for money !!! That Peavey logo needs a re-design competition ... 🤔
Redesign the Peavey logo?!?! That’s blasphemy, bro!!! What??? 😂
Peavey really sounds like a tweed Bassman. Nice
YAY!! No IRs and no Kempers!! Thank you!!
I generally prefer Fender tones (Tweed/ brown/black/silver), but something about the modern “tweeds” like the hot rods, blues deluxe, deville etc., don’t do it for me. They sound okay, but lack some of the richness and depth of other Fenders. And for my personal taste the Peavey has a hump in the “boxy” midrange region that I don’t like. They all sound decent enough, but in this shootout, the Marshall comes out on top because of that great clean example. On another note, I wish more people would mic amps further back like this.
If I had to pick one, I would take the Fender overall.... however, the Marshall has the better drive and the Peavy has the better clean. I would love to play the Peavy and Marshall together and see what kind of blended tones you could achieve. The Peavy surprised me in how good it sounds.
I'll take the DSL...........That particualar Model (DSL40-CR) is becoming a classic.......for the working man. Most of us can't buy plexis. This little combo covers a lot of ground.
Using all 3 into the same extension cab with the same speaker would be interesting. Most of the difference here would be speaker
The Marshall is more versatile, but I'm not into that sound. The Peavey would be great playing alone, as it has a darker tone and is not so harsh as the Marshall. Although, in a band context, it could get a bit lost. Overall, I prefer the Fender. It's the sound I like, without being too overdriven or dark. Great review as always.
Clean, I'd say Fender, Marshall, Peavey, in that order. I don't care about overdriven, so I'll leave that to others.
The drive Chanel is definitely Marshall. But the Fender I think is my overall
With the Telecaster, Peavy all the way. I suspect with a darker guitar I’d pick the Fender.
Peavey wins in every section
I think the Peavey had the best overall tones. I'd gig that in a heartbeat. In the clean and 20 watt modes I though the Marshall sounded awful. It sort of redeemed itself in the 40 watt crunch mode, but still not a stellar sound. I've used the Fender at a few backline-provided gigs, and it can sound pretty good, but not so much in this video. Should have spent a little more time dialing in the tone stack.
Peavey for the win, clean and dirty.
I was kinda shocked at just HOW big a difference there was in the clean tone between the Marshall and the Peavey. Granted 1 12' vs 4 10's- and that 12 being an upgraded speaker, but still... Have to agree- the Marshall sounded fantastic with the single note stuff. I leaned towards the Blues Deluxe for the chordy stuff. Could be my ears, but it seemed to occupy a middle ground between the other two.
Perhaps the inverse of the gibson into a fender = win, is a Fender into a Marshall also = win?!
I always used the Blues Deluxe as a sort of index sound when trying new guitars. Love the sound, and it was useful in showing off the differences between guitars to use the same amp. If not available, a Classic 30, or a Supersonic 60 would also do, lol. (the bassman voicing on the clean channel was😍😍😍, as was the reverb) Any of the 3, when turned up just enough to get that warm, bluesy, almost clean sound were awesome- and drowned out the god awful sound of some kid playing metal- with AAALLLL the gain, and no mids, on some cheap practice amp... I love metal, but geez, what a horrid sound that is.
Peavey for cleans but Marshall for everything else. But I own the same Marshall and seem to get better cleans than you demonstrated. I realize this video wasn't to show every tone each amp can do.
They all had their times to shine. I have always appreciated the Marshall sound especially for leads. For clean tones and reverb, Fender has seemed unbeatable.
Peavy was not regarded well when I was much younger and Peavy was new. They become contenders at some point.
As to your amp shootout, if I had to live with just one amp, I’d go with that Peavy. It just seemed to have a fuller, more pleasing sound overall.
Use all three in wet/dry/wet setup 😅
Having the microphone 12-14 inches away gives a more natural sound compared to right on the grill
I've been told Peavey is better for Blues players I think it's great for Punx too. Use of Session and Montarbo, now Marshall.
Wrong Fender, try again using the 65 Deluxe Reverb. 😃
The Peavey and Marshall have quite a bit of solid state and relay switching for my liking. Would be nice to see/hear the 1974X as the Marshall in the shootout.
Peavey sounded great
Oh my God! ..... the intro song is back. Big ups for that, we've missed it.
