I got this Peavey Classic 50 head (1999 made in USA) about three months ago for $200 bucks, from my neighbor. It's such a solid amp that I'm now considering selling my orange Super crush 100. I literally can't get over how great the lead channel sounds, especially boosted with any kind of dirt pedal.

My issue...

I don't need to sell the super crush or the cab, but I have OCD, and having too many things gives me severe anxiety.

Options:

1. Keep everything as it is and just deal with it

2. Sell the super crush and the cab (possibly purchase a small low watt tube amp with the proceeds, which would take up less space)

🤦🏾‍♂️

Update of my Peavey Retro Fire project, I think it looks way cooler with just the bridge humbucker. What do you guys think?

I’m a huge Skynyrd fan, and I know that Skynyrd used the Peavey Mace, but personally, I like the Deuces more. So recently I’ve been saving some money up for a Peavey Deuce, and I can’t decide between the peavey Deuce and Peavey Deuce II. Which one should I get?

So I bought this Peavey Classic 60/60 power amp last year.

It sounds great but the thing is I have to dime the outputs on the 60/60 with my HX stomp to get it to be loud enough. HX is set to line level output with the volume set between noon and 1 oclock.

If I use the same settings with my friends Mesa 20/20 power amp I only need to set the volume on that to around 11 oclock to be the same volume as the Peavey.

I have replaced all of the tubes and electrolytic capacitors in the Peavey and nothing has changed.

So is this just how this amp is? Does it just need a super hot preamp signal? Or is there something wrong with it?

Just had this beast dropped off and I already love it. It's in quite good shape given its age, and apparently spent much of its life in the (original) case. And as a fun bonus it's from my birth year - hence the holy grail title.

ETA: I got it for $1000 CAD

Got it for the price of carrying it down two flights of stairs. It's gonna need the pots cleaned and likely a recap, but i decided to run my Bandit into the pwr amp and see what happened. It was... a lot of sound, lol. This pairing is never leaving the house, but it sure is fun! Now that I think about it, I doubt the TNT will be leaving the house. That thing is a tank.

So i got an amazing deal for a 79 Peavey T-60 and after playing after around with it enough, i gave it to someone to fix the dead spots on the fretboard and to fix the broken neck pickup. He told me that the pickup would need to be rewound and that he can't do it himself. Now, after going through all the shops in my town, i am turning to you guys to ask if there is anyone here who knows someone in or close to germany, who would rewind a broken coil on a T-60 neck pickup. No need to tell you guys, that i would like to keep it as original as possible. One guy told me it's a big pain so it seems like not everyone will do it. Of course i am willing to pay, what it takes.
