    NOTICE GLOBAL

    - Amp versatile, well equipped with connectors
    - Sounds blues and rock marked
    - Sufficient power for the home game and the clubs (50 watts all lamps)
    - A neutral p'tite reverb, enough well

    In short: a very competitive amp power / quality / price, big claims but affordable and does the job he is asked without flinching (solid boy).
    PS: In addition it is cheap because no maintenance required biasing, and EL34 replacement lamps are relatively affordable

    It's ok.. not for me

    Peavey Classic 50/410 (Discontinued)Published on 07/01/11 at 14:12
    The Peavey classic is basically Peavey's take on an American classic amplifier. The best amp I can relate this one to is the Fender bassman. It is essentially a blues and mild rock amp. The tone is ok and not really promising. You really need a good distortion or overdrive pedal of some sort to get a decent tone out of it. I understand Peavey's need to do an amp like this to get into the Fender tweed market but in my opinion is that Peavey's excels as making high gain rock and roll metal amps and this is a bit of a let down.

    SOUNDS


    I suggest using a good tubescreamer pedal if you want to get a good pop/rock tone. You can already get a smooth distortion breakup with the amp but this will allow you to take it a level and half to that singing sustain that you need for lead playing.

    I playing this type of amp and this amp with a good Fender susperstrat or Stratocaster. If compliments the tone of this amp very nicely. This is more of a mild overdrive amp fit for country, rock, and pop and having that tweed look on the outside just makes you think the blues. Since the blues is best played on a Stratocatser then that is generally what I lean towards.

    OVERALL OPINION

    These amps have now been updated with a new look and other minor tweaks. This amp is a fun amp and you can get this thing to do a lot more than a Fender Bassman could with the added volume controls, effects loop, and further EQing controls.

    On the used market you can find these amps for right around $500. The newer ones are around $999 and Peavey doesn't really hold their value all that well so you might be able to find one cheaper than that.

    I would recommend his amp to anyone who wants what a Fender Bassman cannot do and do it at a much cheaper price. These are great for recording or gigging. Easy tone and easy to dial in for a good band mix.
