Peavey Classic 30 + Celestion G12H30 (G12-EVH)

A few decades ago, the Peavey Classic 30 was the go-to combo tube amp for bedroom playing and small to medium-sized gigs.

Fast forward 2022 where there's already a sea of options for compact ang bigger amps with all the bells and whistles, we take a look back at the "Classic" and see (hear) if it can still hang with today's options.

We have a 2005 Peavey Classic 30 (made in USA). Tubes were replaced with a JJ 12AX7 (v1), Tungsol 12AX7 (V2), and a Sovtek LPS 12AX7 (V3 phase inverter), and JJ EL84 matched quad.

The stock Peavey Blue Marvel speaker was finally replaced with a Celestion G12-EVH pulled from an EVH 1x12 cabinet. This speaker is essentially a Celestion G12H30 with an EVH sticker.

What do you think of the sound? :)
