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.
