Peavey Classic 50/410

Creamy Goodness · 31-01-2005 11:48pm #1

just was looking around at amps and this one had an instant hook on me and i'd always liked it.

now at the moment i don't have the money for it but but i'm over in the states later near the end of summer and this bad boy is only $769 dollars from here. around 600 euros

compare that to this here and here (€908)

has anyone tried this amp as i don't think anywhere in town has one that i can try?

1. it looks nasty
2. you would need a new power transformer which would make up the difference in the us and europe prices. and shipping of course and all the random import taxes.

david · 01-02-2005 12:09am

I believe it sounds sweet. Musician inc. may have them. Or you could get them to order one in for stock

Creamy Goodness · 01-02-2005 12:11am

well i was heading over there in the summer so was thinking of picking up then.

i think it looks really sweet, different from the "traditional black".

this power transformer how much would that set me back?

david · 01-02-2005 12:15am

The guy selling the Fender twin knows more than me cos he has one. Karl Hungus's Mesa will also require one. I haven't a clue how much they cost...

You can plug into a step down transformer. €100 should cover you for that. But can you imagine trying to lug that thing about? A Head and cab are bad enough but a combo like that would weight a ****ing ton. Plus how were you planning on getting it back if you buy it in America?

Also, please fix your first post. The white font is annoying.

Jesus Feylya, this mod-ness is really goin to yer head!

feylya · 01-02-2005 12:22am

I can't read the ****ing thing without highlighting it. I'm just asking for a bit of concideration for people using the default boards skin.

Creamy Goodness · 01-02-2005 12:28am

sorry i dunno what happened with the font and i can't put it back to default :S

i hadn't planned on how to get it across to be honest, i was just seeing was it worth my while seeing as i'd be over there during the summer.

also feylya any opinions on the amp itself?

david · 01-02-2005 12:28am

Point taken. I didn't realise it was white because all of my text is white

feylya · 01-02-2005 12:31am

Cheers for the font change

As for the amp, I was contemplating the Peavey 30 myself. I don't have any first hand experience with the Classics but by all accounts, they're a great amp. Not for high gain sounds at all. There's a nice classic rock sound but not heavy rock/metal.

Think about it though. €600 if you buy in America. At least €100 shipping, probably more like €200 (it'll be as heavy as ****) plus a transformer and import tax if you're unlucky. You won't be saving as much as you think.

Creamy Goodness · 01-02-2005 12:37am

ahh but this is the classic 50 not the 30

feylya · 01-02-2005 12:38am

music123.com charge $197.56 to ship the Classic 50/212. That's €150 extra. Import on the amp would be about €150 so you're look at €900 before you even think about changing the transformer. Not good value imo.

Aye, tis the 50. Heard good things about that too but for €900 that it's gonna cost you, there's better. IMO at least. What sort of sound are you looking for?

Creamy Goodness · 01-02-2005 12:47am

looking for a small range of sounds but i mainly play

muse, biffy clyro, jimmy eat world, weezer, smashing pumpkins

feylya · 01-02-2005 12:49am

Well, I'm only familiar with Muse. Lovely clean sounds with crunchy distortions. How much do you think you'll have to spend? The Classic 50 won't get that crunch without a pedal.

Creamy Goodness · 01-02-2005 12:52am

well i've an old boss sd2 lying around here that could do me for distortion

david · 01-02-2005 12:52am

If you can afford 900, get a used DSL100 and 4x12 cab used. There's one in the FS section about a month old. It'll cover all of them bands.

TBH, hop into town with your pedal and see what the guitar shops have.

And I wouldn't suggest the half stack at all at all. My feelings about half stacks have been made clear before.

JCM900 combo 2x12 - €699 perfect. But, Ye'r not gettin it cos i found it first! It has two knobs broken and some tolex tears but still...

feylya · 01-02-2005 12:58am

My mate bought one just like that for €350 but the seller backed out cos he realised he liked the amp

david · 01-02-2005 1:02am

I think it's a bargain... Its in instrumental on bachelors walk. I dunno if it's still there but its gonna be mine if its there in march. Could someone from dublin have a look to see if its not sold???
