Amp questions. A Vs. B.

A. Peavey Classic 30. Blue marvel speaker.
B. Line 6 DT 25 “Bogner”. Celestion speaker I believe. Made in China.
I have 3 examples to choose from. Money is no object as they are all priced 300-350. Give or take a few bucks.
Help me pick. They are all used. Bogner I believe is a brand or sub-brand on its own. So I don’t know if that makes this particular Line 6 worth a harder look.
Obligatory , where’s Fret ????
He needs a bat signal.

Option C. Spend a little more money and get a better amp than those two.

Get yourself one of these LINK
Great tube amp, simple as hell. From everything you say you like, you will love that amp.

The line 6 looks badass and seems more rare. Usually I watch youtube videos to help me decide these sorts of conundrums. Also the line 6 has more features, which can be either a good or bad thing depending of your preferences. I vote for Line 6.

My lead guitar player has the Classic 50 as a backup amp and I think it sounds way better than his Blackstar. Good sounding amps. Another guitar player I played with a few years ago had a Line 6 modeling amp. Sounded decent, but it just overall sounded kind of sterile and artificial to me.
Now, take all this with a grain of salt as I am about half deaf.

I've owned both, recorded with both, gigged with both.
I want the Peavey Classic, hands down, no hesitation whatsoever. The Line 6 isn't bad, it's just the Classic is better all around. And simpler.

Thanks. What I wanted to know. You and one other guy say the same thing.
Edit and bump to add a third.
C Genz Benz Diablo it is 30 or 60 watt tube amp. Price difference again is nominal. And I believe there is a Solid State component to the "tube amp".
Which is to say "FRettttttttt!!!!". He likes the brand so maybe this will be harder "no" for him?

Peavey is legit
Posted on 8/23/22 at 5:27 pm to LSU alum wannabe
I prefer the Peavey sound too from my guitar players of those options. I play bass so what I look for may be different, but to me, Peavey makes some rock solid guitar amps/bang for buck.

Bump for another amp.

Peavey Classic is still in the lead.
Posted on 9/3/22 at 2:25 pm to LSU alum wannabe
Can you not try out the amps?

Used. Amps. None are side by side. Not everyone wants you in their house playing piss poor guitar. Amps are heavy to lug around and not make a sale. And some houses I probably don’t want to be in.

Yep…and speaking of classic Peavey, I’m about to pick up this CIRRUS.

the Classic 50
I had a tweed Peavey Classic 50 head with matching tweed Classic 4x10 cab on top of matching tweed 1x15 extension cab. I loved that amp and with the 1x15 cab it added a nice bottom end. Sounded awesome and also took pedals well. You can play anything from clean country picking to metal with it. I downsized all higher wattage tube amps and large cabs a few years ago and now only have two low watt heads paired with 1x12 cabs. I also have a tweed Fender Blues Jr left which is another amp I would recommend checking out.

This isn’t mine but what it looked like. I removed the Peavey badges. Not because I dislike them necessarily but because they looked too futuristic on a retro looking tweed amp.
Edit- my memory is terrible anymore. I just found pic of my old Classic 50. It wasn’t head and dual cabs, it was first gen 4x10 combo with 1x15 ext cab. I’ll post pic if I can figure out how to post pic from desktop. Back in 79 I had Peavey Musician head with cabs that I was mixing up. Anyway, I recommend the Peavey Classic if you’re still considering.

I hear good things about the Cirrus basses. Enjoy.
