My Vox has no numbers on the pots whatsoever. I hadn't even thought of it 'till now.

We don't need no stinkin' numbers!

I used to have a Classic 50 but I hated carrying it so I sold it. But it was so annoying to have to actually work to see the controls....

 

[FALKEN]

I had a classic 50 and also sold it because my crate version of the same amp sounded better. I should have swapped the tubes or something, because it still boggles me.

I am told that it's a design conceit from the very early days of stage amplification, when it was typical for the amp (or amps, if your band was fortunate enough to be able to afford more than one) to be placed near the front of the stage, rather than behind the performers. So the controls were placed in the back.

My Vox has the same layout. It's nutty but you get used to it quickly.

I heard that it comes from the "Big Band" days. Tommy Dorsey ect. When everyone sat on a bleacher-type stage and played thier instruments. The guitarists sat right behind thier amps, usually in the front row.

I wonder if the grill cloth had the Band leaders initials on it like the bass drum?

Yeah, that makes sense, too - same sort of situation.

For sure, the amp would have to match the music stands!

but that's Alabama for ya.

I really would't know.I've caught so much shit in my life for being from
Alabama that I have decided to be from California.
BTW, I was just taking a stab at peavey.The classic 30 is a great amp
for blues and some rock.

That's cool. I was just taking a jab at Alabama. My dad's from there, and I've been all through that state, and it beats the hell out of California.

This fucker doesn't have a standby switch either.

What do I need to get to eliminate the need to turn it on and off everytime I want to unplug the guitar, or swap a pedal?

Will an A/B box work, with nothing connected to the B side, or is there something better?

 

[cephus]

I unplug the other end of the cable.

Really?

The loud THUNKKKKKnnnnnnnnnnnn doesn't bother you?

Seams like it couldn't be good for the speaker.

I'm sure there's other options, but thanks a million!

That'll work, so will a tuner with a mute button, if it's last before the amp.

is the new classic 30 as good as the original? does it sound anything like the fender blues jr.?

I can't say. I've never played the original or the blues jr., and I'm not a guitar player who obsesses compulsively about "the sound" of any given amp.

 

[Sloan]

I really dig the Peavey Classic series better than the Fender Blues/Hot Rod series.

 

[acidrock]

I've heard a few guys playing on Classic 30's and they sounded real good to me.

I have one amp with backwards facing controls,but another thing that bugs me is that I have an amp with the efx loop on the front panel.
