I was never a big fan of Peavey products, so I was pretty skeptical when I gave this combo a trial run. Boy, was I surprised. I play Country in one band, and R&R in another, and this little monster do... read more [+]es it all. The twang I get out of this beast is just incredible, and the bottom end thumps like sub-woofer. The natural compression of this amp is great, so I find myself by-passing my compressor pedal more often than usual. Did I mention volume? Holy Christ is this thing loud! Now here's the important part, It's loud and it still sounds great.April 1, 2010 Music Background: Recording Engineer, Professional Musician I play a Telecaster through a Keeley compressor, Line 6 Pod XT Live for delay, and tube screamer, and the country tone is perfect. Nice and clean, with a slight growl, and lots of bite. For the rock stuff I run my PRS Custom 24 through a Boss DS-1, into the compressor, with delays and various other effects added by the Line 6, and this amp takes every bit of that and spits out amazing sounds. I couldn't be happier. Admittedly, I've never used the "lead" channel, so I can't comment on it. But then again, I've never needed it. If you're looking for a versatile amp, that will do really well in medium to large venues, this is a great choice. I promise you, this amp is worth every penny, and in my opinion it's actually under-valued. close [-] best combo amp ive ever owned
by zach from Mercer,PA USA
i have had my classic 50 for quite a few years now and i have to say this is the best tube combo amp i have ever owned.I have owned mesas and marshalls and they are problematic and i have never been i... read more [+]mpressed with them.i bought my classic fifty used back in 2000 and the only thing i have had to do to it is replace the stock tubes with groove gold series ones (the stock ones were microphonic due to age)and now it sounds even better.if you play metal and use drop tunings the peavey blue marvel speakers in this amp will give you that bottom end "chug"without the rattle or honking that celestions like to do when you turn the bass up while still giving you crystal clear mids and highs.after i bought this amp i became such a fan of the blue marvel i bought four of them and installed them in a older style heavy duty sealed peavey 4x12 cab which the classic 50 pushes with no problem at all this amp is a very loud 50 watts i promise you!! musicians i have jammed with say they become "shell shocked"when they stand in front of my rig.my only complaint about this amp is that if you want that gain crazy harmonic producing over the top distortion (that i personally love)you will have to go with an effects unit i use the digitech gnx-1 the secret is to keep the effect units level down and crank the master level on the amp to almost max this gives you the control the effects unit allows you of your tone while giving you the warmth and harmonics only a tube amp cranked with its tubes glowing red can.trust me ive been playing for over 20 years ive seen and owned it all and i have friends who own triple recs and jcm 800s and not only does my rig eat them for breakfast it never fails or breaks down and this amp is the heart of it.peavey builds the best gear on the planet end of story!!! close [-]

This is a beautiful amp. No amp can sound like ALL other amps! No need to compare to Fender because it's a Peavey. They both make great amps...admit it! :) close [-] RE: Bottom end
