This is the best head I have ever used. I was at my guitar shop today, tried it out with my guitar and pedals, LOVE IT. This is definately the best amp on the market. It had a good clean crunch for palm muting and a smooth flowing feel for stumming.

I have used this head many times at the store. It probaly one of the largest heads I have seen. It can play the cleanest clans and dirty muddy solos. The only thing I don't like it takes a few seconds to heat up but other than that awsome head. Sounds best with a les paul.

Not Your Daddy's Peavey

I have to say Peavey has always been a dark horse contender with me. Back in "old" days we used to use Peavey products because they were inexpensive and durable. They were never known for stellar tone or sound. I am now a working musician and my first choice amp has always been a Fender 410 Hotrod Deville. Incredible amp that is INCREDIBLY LOUD! My gigs are usually small clubs that hold 50 to 300 people. The Deville is absolutely unruly without using a Hotplate Attenuator with it. I've had a 212 cab loaded with Greenbacks for awhile and wanted to put it to use for that warmer 12" sound, but wanted an amp that would be controllable in a club setting. I decided to give the Classic 30 Head a shot and Man was I surprised. It is now my first amp of choice. With only 30 watts pushing 2 Greenbacks, it is absolutely controllable. The thing that blew me away was the tone and versatility. Sparkling clean channel, and fat, chunky, clear dirty channel. The Pre Gain and Post Gain circuitry make this amp something for everyone. Jazz, Blues, Rock, and Metal are all at home with this beast. Amazing amp for an amazing price. The only reason I didn't give the features a perfect 5 is that I wish it had ohm switchability. It is only pre-set for 16 ohms. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with my new rig. This is definitely not your Daddy's Peavey!!!

I've had the head and cabinet for about a year now, and I have to say I wouldn't want to play through anything else. Playing everything from Metal to Blues, this amp delivers HUGE. To the point where it drowns out my friends 100 watt head/cab combination.

Great Vox sound but cheap
Posted by JBlood from Tullahoma, Tennessee on Feb 26, 2008
Experience w/product: I have used it
Reviewer's Background: Hobbyist looking for a band
Reviewer's Play Style: Blues and Hard Rock, but I am inspired by anything
This head and the matching cab was sitting in my music shop, and so i tried it out after the guy told me it had the same tubes as a Vox AC30. The controls are very similar(no tremolo), but the sound was what sold me. Great clean(think Peter Buck or Tom Petty) and rockabilly to clapton overdrive on a telecaster. If you can get an AC30, but for the rest of us buy this. One will not be dissapointed especially at this price.
