The Peavey Classic 50 is the right size for practice or for large venues. The 4-10 speaker configuration seems to deliver better tone than the 2-12 version. The vintage tweed look is cool, but more important is the all-tube tone and power. The lead channel adjusts to a wide variety of tones-from clean to overdrive distortion while maintaining a prescence that stands out of the mix. The footswitch allows channel switching and reverb activation. It would be nice if the regular channel had pre and post gain controls for a more overdriven rhythm tone--rather than just clean--but you can't have everything. Overall this is my favorite amp and one of the best I have ever owned.
Nothing, I mean NOTHING sounds as good as an all tube amp. This is one of the best in any price range, but especially considering it's under a grand. I usually don't like combo amp, but this Pavey classic is one of the best ever. It doesn't matter what style you are playing, this amp sounds amazing. I do think though that it really comes into its own for blues and blues rock. The clean sound still has a bit of growl which adds to the overall character of the amp, but it is crystal clear. The "lead" is what screams, though. All in all, this is a world class amp and is/has been used on hundreds of records. I wish I didn't have to sell mine.

Very underrated amp. Plenty of power and nice tone. Mine is the 2X12 efx model. Bought vintage Kustom amp wheels here on ebay and installed them on amp. Bought 4 el84s of ebay here and preamp tubes. NOW this amp really impresses people. Speakers would be nice to swap out the stock ones for some Celestion Greenbacks. Won my Classic 50 off ebay last July and after a bit of customization, I have a killer amp.
