tube position: horizontal or vertical

Speaking of Peavey Classic amps; ironically Peavey patented the construction where mounting axis of tubes and the speaker are in parallel to minimize microphonics. Guess it wasn't so effective after all...

PV classic lead ch

[QUOTE=Jared Purdy;203720]Haha! You got that right. This is my forth amp since December 2009. First one was a Peavey Classic 30 that just would not stop rattling (and it has a really crappy "2nd" channel). I had a PV Classic50 for awhile in the 90s. Just did not work with my LP Jr. Then I played one later with a strat and it became clear the lead ch was designed for low output pickups. Worked great that way.

I built a Marshall 18w clone that still has the same tubes from when I built it over 15 years ago!

Vintage Mullard preamp tubes and a pair of those EI EL84's from back when those were good.
