The Peavey amplifier isn’t only recognized for its quality by independent bands some high end bands also use their products while they are on tour. Some names a person might recognize are Cradle of Filth, Kenny Chesney, Lynard Skynard and even Slipknot. Some of the amps available were even designed in partnership with a man known as Eddy Van Halen.
What makes these units so impressive when it comes to durability? When you are on the road and need something that can withstand the abuse that a tour can have on equipment this is important. The Peavey amp is known for its ability to withstand a respectable amount of abuse while continuing to deliver great powerful and natural tone.
One of the most popular series available is the Classic series. The Peavey amplifier series that started it all in 1973 down by the Mississippi Delta has an old school sound and a design that is highly recognizable. Four of the major players in this category include:
50/410 Classic: This style is popular because of its original setup consisting of 4 Blue Marvel 10″ speakers and is commonly used by Country Artists as well as Rockers.
50/212 Classic: With 50 powerful watts along with reverb and control bundled in a beautiful texture grain this is a popular choice for many guitarists.
115 and the 210 Delta Blues: For those who play the blues this model that has tremolo with it can really improve the overall sound of performance to of your playing.
30/112 Classic: With 30 watts and a combo of 1×12 no guitarist should be without this powerful amp.
Of course the classic models are the most popular, but there are other guitar amps that are designed to benefit other styles of music as well.
Outside of the general components that make the traditional speaker, some new speakers have digital enhancements that help them to generate a better sound. These enhancements can deliver a broader coverage of sound and since they are adjustable you can increase tone, clarity and reverb from the unit itself.
Something that deserves to be mentioned about the Peavey amp is that many people don’t get the full potential of these amps from a regular outlet. To get the best power for these amps you should consider getting an exterior power source to help supply enough energy to maximize the quality and sound produced.
But keeping your Peavey Amp is essential for the well being of the unit as well. Some things can damage these sets. By playing the amps too low or too high and producing an excessive amount of feedback you slowly damage the interior makeup of these amp, and once the damage has begun if you don’t repair them you continue to increase the amount of damage until they become un-savable.
