I have a line on one for pretty cheap. I played with it briefly at the store and like both channels. Anyone have any experience with them? The amp alone seems to cop that old school Marshall vibe with the pre gain cranked up... I dig it. I also like the idea of a series effects loop.

Oh, hell yeah. Grab it. One of my favorite pieces of gear. I used to think the people that loved them didnt have any other choice financially, and that is why they loved it.
Wrong...

Re: Peavey Classic 50 head. Any opinions?
Yeah, I think I'm gonna do it. I checked it out again during lunch. I would assume an overdrive in front would kick into high gear, as would an EQ in the loop. The clean/semi distorted tones rule (in the store anyway lol)!Comment

I used to borrow one for live gigs when I was between amps. I echo the OD pedal response. Good all around rock amp. I think it had reverb built-in too.Comment

Re: Peavey Classic 50 head. Any opinions?
Well, I picked it up. This amp is awesome! I can't believe an amp this cheap sounds so good.
And it WILL do metal. I put a BOSS EQ in the loop to shape the tone (basically just dropping the 800k slider down one notch from center and boosting the highs and bass up about a half of a notch, level at 0db), and put a SD1 in front for a clean boost, pre on about 8. The amp EQ controls were all at about 6 (center). The thing screams. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]Comment
