Sound: Rich Classic Rock sound. Great for blues rock or even country if you are in to that sort of thing. Cranked up the tubes are warm and break up well. Even sounds great at a wisper. The distortion is not the highest gain out there, so all you metal heads out there would not like it. However sounds incredible with Od and distortion pedals. The clean tone is warm and crisp. Feature: Fisrt off the foot switch is not included, and the reverb is very lacking. This beibg said the amp has two inputs one normal and one bright. The addition of a presence control is a definite plus. Ease of Use: Simple and basic amps. Easy to dial in the tone you want on either channel in seconds. Quality: Hey it weighs a ton and is built like a tank. It has tube protectors and with adding casters it is easy to move and durable on the road. Value: You can't beat the price for a tube amp this clean and loud. With distortion or OD pedals tou can get any osund you want. Why spend three times as much on a Marshall or Messa that does not nearly have the tonal diversity of the Classic 50 Manufacturer Support: I have not jad to use support, but Peavey is legendary for their swift and courteous support. The Wow Factor: Simply gorgeous classic tweed package. Looks, feels, sounds the part of a classic rock monster. Overall: I have been searching for a tube amp that sounds like this and would not force me to hawk three quarters of my other equipment to pay for it for quite a while. With the addition of a few pedals I can get any sound out of the amp that I wish. I cannot say enough about the great blues and classic rock tone of the amp. With the warm and rich lead channel and the nprmal channel that with a little tweaking can go from twang to hendrix I think that I will keep this amp for as long as my fingers will still play.

Back to Product Information
Overall: The Peavey Classic 50 212 is my favorite amp for playing blues and blues rock. Nothing comes close to the sound. Chimey cleans made gritty with increase in volume, overdriven lead channel... The EL84 tubes sound SOOO beautiful in this amp. Makes the distortion sound "screamy" and chimey at the same time. Hard to explain but beautiful to listen to... Go to the store, try out any amp that is supposed to be great for blues, then try this baby out. Decide for yourself! Enjoy.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
