Don't shoot me....Peavey....

...Classic 20.

Anyone know the stock plate voltage on these? Played one today. Great sounding small amp....

Didn't have a chance to open it up.

Anyone?

Plates are about 330, screens are about 320V.

I have said it before and will say it again, Peavey builds a quality amp for reasonable prices.

Had one, wish i never sold it. sounded better than the C30 or 50. I think the 20 is cathode biased if i recall, but could be wrong.

I remember looking at one about 10 years ago. Nice amp. I should have bought it.

Peavey stuff is honest, it works. Those MDF cabs weigh a ton though.
I used to use a lot of Peavey (gasp!) SS equipment back in the 80s, playing 250 nights a year in country bands.
It worked. Throw it in the truck, drag it out, plug it in. One broken solder connection in five years. Not bad. Almost as good as a Fender.

IME Fender has a lower reliability rate than Peavey. Seen a lot more Fender's in my shop than Peavey's.

I meant older Fenders, not the HRDX PCB stuff which is trash.

The guy was looking to sell this one. He brought it to me because it wasn't working - there were no tubes in it. Put tubes in and it fired right up. No hum, buzz, scratchy pots..... Just screamed. Thing was really dirty...almost offered him $50 bucks for it...should have.

the c20 and c30 are great little grab and go amps. i depeavey'd the input and tone stack circuitry on my c20 and it is a monster.
