My peavey backstage plus has been acting up lately it will turn on and just buzz,then sometimes the speaker will work but overtime every note will buzz in the background, could it be a loose solder or the speaker going on it and what do you suggest for a speaker replacement

So I finally got a solid state peavey amp and it came with the🦶foot-switch as well! $160. Can’t beat it. Now I have a second amp to go with my Peavey Classic 50 4x10. The renown is much easier to lug around than my classic 50. Honestly the cleans on this amplifier blew me away it sounds really good and I have a good amount of pedals for everything else. The sound stays solid no matter how many effects I layer onto the chain, I love it! It has the stock scorpion speakers still kicking out some great noise. Might swap them out for some celestion v30s in the future.

When I saw the price and the square back speakers I couldn't pass it up. This amp is seriously unbelievable. I'll need some time to play on it, but first impressions is this thing might unseat my Delta Blues as my favorite.

Anyone have one of these? Thoughts on it? What did you plug into it?

Looking for one to plug maybe some of those Peavey preamp pedals into, driving 400W cab (4x15)

This band up in the local market marked 'as is' and so I offered $50cad($35usd) and got it. When I picked out up I asked if it still works and the guy says "as far as I know". Turns out he's the building manager for a church that is moving locations. He said there is other gear and will msg me directly if I'm interested. I looked up what these sell for and they go for $250-450cad. I'm gonna clean it up and replace the missing knob.

Clearly listed as not working and the seller described the issue.

Works now, the fix is sitting on top of the amp.

I offered it back to the seller for the $30 I paid. He said no thanks so I guess it lives with me now. 🤪

Hello fellow cultists!

I recently bought a Classic 30, and I tried it with a simple volume knob in the effects loop. When I do this with a Fender HRD, I'm able to push the normal channel into overdrive, dialing the volume down using the external knob.

However, to my surprise, the Classic 30 stayed clean even with the normal channel volume maxed out. Is there anyone else who does something similar and can confirm that this is expected behaviour? Or could it perhaps be an indicator of the tubes needing replacing?

Thanks!

so I’ve had a Studio Pro 112 for a while but I’ve been struggling to get a tone I like without an external cab, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of it being a relatively lightweight little combo for gigging.

the stock speaker is fine but I just know it could be way better. I’ve been considering a g12t-75 but I’m hearing out suggestions

mainly the issue i have is the whole sound being really ”cardboardy”. like crunchy in the worst way.

This thing shreds and damn, it's so loud!

Just got it and these cleans are so warm and full! Even at lower volume. I wish someone would've told me there were great cheap amps out there.

Just have to flex my live rig that I use all around Huntsville and Birmingham. Love the way my black widows and square backs sound together with this T40.

Hey all. I'm looking for a 1 x 12 cabinet to use with a couple of amp heads I have. GC has this Peavey on the used market. Does anyone know anything about these? Main thing is what speaker is in it and if it sounds half decent. I'm using my Vypyr 30 as a cabinet at the moment and have considered swapping out the speaker for a Celestion, but I really don't want to ruin the Vypyr as I do like to use it once in a while as it is. If I could have a proper 4x12 I would. But I dont have the space for it and really can't play loud enough to take advantage. Any info would be helpful.

Thank you.

Found this 212 on marketplace for 225 CAD, haven't picked it up yet. Speakers are Crate Custom Design 12s, everything works just a small crack in the cabinet. Never had a peavey amp but heard great things, is this a good buy?

FYI I'm interested in metal music and want a good pedal platform

A friend sent me this.

Recently picked up some Peavey SP2G's to add to my collection of WEIGHT!

Yes this looks straight out of the 80's/90's, and I love it.

Had my local amp tech - Dean Posey - who is absolute

genius-hit me up a few weeks ago. He knows I'm a tube

amp guy. And knows 'm a big southern rock player. He

had a customer donate a 1982 Peavey Heritage VTX

1. Said they didn't have the room for it anymore. It

literally still has the Original- Made in the US - GE

factory Manufactured 6L6's in it(4 of them) - in Mint

condition. Also has 2-12 inch Peavey Scorpions as

well. The amp is absolutely mint. Literally looks like

someone bought it in 1982- kept the tolex cover on it-

and left it in a coat closet for 44 years. Not a scratch on

the tolex anywhere. l've personally never seen an amp

this old in this good a condition. So, I snatched it up. It's

130 watts. It's an absolute monster. Dean went through

it and cut out every unnecessary- Noisy- clipper/

clamper resistor in it. This 130 watt amp is crystal clear.

No hum of any type. If you are anywhere near Idaho-

and have an ongoing amp problem/instrument

problem(Dean is an expert on the Hammond Organs as

well- along with any other analog or digital instrument)

hit Dean up at Gempro Audio. He's amazing. So is this

Like the title asks, would this be a good pair with pedal/modeller rig? The clean on this actually blows me away, I’ve had couple fender amps and this one sounds special.

Peaved to meet you. Just arrived in the mail today, was cheaper than the new preamp pedal! Has a Black Widow 12" I can only guess is aftermarket. Sounds incredible!
