Get Tons of Sonic Punch from a Small Tube Combo

The Peavey Classic 20 packs the sonic punch of a much larger guitar amplifier into a lightweight, 20-watt tube combo. Armed with three 12AX7s and two EL84s, the Classic 20 packs two tube-infused channels that tackle blues, country, and rock with equal certitude. This tube combo amplifier features Pre-Gain and Post-Gain knobs for simplified gain staging, along with a shared 3-band EQ for sculpting your sound. You also get an effects loop for integrating your pedalboard and footswitchable reverb. The Classic 20 boasts plenty of modern features as well, such as a Microphone Simulated Direct Interface XLR and USB outputs, a 3-position power attenuator switch, and Output Tube Status Indication LEDs. Hunting for a versatile tube amplifier with a small footprint? You'll surely dig the rich, warm sound of the Peavey Classic 20.

Two channels of tube-fueled tone

You can coax a massive spectrum of tones out of the Classic 20. This flexible tube combo amplifier features two channels: Lead and Rhythm. You get a Pre-Gain knob for adjusting the input level of the Lead channel to dial in your desired amount of overdrive, along with a Post-Gain knob to balance the sound of the two channels. A 3-band EQ with Bass, Middle, and Treble knobs is shared by the amplifier's two channels. A global Volume knob rounds out the Classic 20's front-panel control set.

Player-centric features aplenty

The guitarists here at Sweetwater are impressed with the robust feature assembly on the Peavey Classic 20. This fully equipped tube combo sports an effects loop for integrating your pedalboard and other outboard effects, along with a built-in footswitchable reverb. The Classic 20's rear panel brandishes a Microphone Simulated Direct Interface (MSDI) XLR output and USB output for mic-free recording and routing to front of house. You also get a 3-position attenuator switch that allows for 20-, 5-, or 1-watt operation, along with a speaker defeat switch. Output Tube Status Indication (TSI) LEDs round out the Classic 20's impressive feature set.

Rated 5/5

Exactly what I've been looing for...

I was looking for a more affordable, 2-channel tube amp with 3-band EQ and the "right" overdrive tone. This is it! With separate volume control for each of the two channels you can balance them to your liking. The clean channel sounds great and the gain on the dirty channel has good range and overdriven tone (thinking blues-rock?). The 5 watt setting is perfect for home and the head phone jack and speaker defeat allow me to continue enjoying the amp into the wee hours when others are sleeping. The 3-band EQ is subtle but functional and the reverb adds some nice flavor. The size is right too. Not too big. Not too small. And its not heavy either. After a lot of shopping around, I'm really pleased with this amplifier and appreciate Brandon at Sweetwater for helping make one mine. One last thing, its a great mate for my AC15. Now I've got great British sounds on one side and the American tone I've been searching for on the other.
