The Peavey Classic 30 112 is the newest member of the Classic tube amp family using the same basic preamp design as the Classic 50, with the addition of the boost switch.
The 30 watt power amp, when combined with the specially-voiced 12-inch speaker creates a very powerful amplifier that’s portable enough for backstage or practice, yet loud enough to jam with a rhythm section. The dual channel preamp allows quick variation of tone - from vintage blues, to modern hard-rock and grunge tones. The boost switch is particularly useful in obtaining the more traditional cranked-amp tones without the harshness generated by sending too much low end to the power amp. The 30 watt power level is just the right amount for power amp chunk and sustain at a reasonable volume.

Two particularly modern additions to this amplifier are the reverb and effects loop. The reverb unit is the long-spring type found in most guitar amps since the 50's. The effects loop comes in especially handy when used with delay, chorus, and many other effects units, racks or stomp boxes - when you don’t want the associated noise of connecting them in-line with the amp.

For a special treat, try plugging one of the Classic enclosures or even a 412-Peavey 6505 cabinet into the external speaker jack. You’ll find this particular combination has plenty of knock in the low-end. And best of all, it’s very LOUD.

Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
It's made in Mississippi, U.S.A!! Boutique sound and vibe without the boutique price.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Peavey's reliability is unquestioned and I expect the same from the Classic 30.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
This amp SMOKES the comparable Fender amps. I've been playing guitar for 46 years and have owned or tried just about everything out there. This is the best sounding amp I've tried. I play in a variety band. We play Classic Rock, Blues, Oldies, Disco, R & B, Old Country, New Country, even a few Rap songs. This amp does it all, without having to take out a mortgage and without wrenching your back carrying it around.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
As I said above. I play every weekend, 2 nights or more and the Peavey Classic 30 is very versatile.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
I bought the Tweed and it's beautiful. Very classy look.
