Peavey · amplifier
The Peavey Classic 30 2-Channel 30W Head (Black Tweed finish, 2005-2009 production) is a tube amplifier head version of Peavey's well-regarded Classic 30 combo circuit, offering the same warm, vintage-voiced tube tone in a standalone head format rather than the more common combo configuration. Featuring two channels for clean and drive tones, it delivers Peavey's celebrated Classic series character at 30 watts.
