ok so their is a fender 100 watt head and body (fm412sl body) (fm100h head) for 500$ and i was origanally going to buy that but then i see a peavey classic 30 for 450$, so i was just wondering which one is better and why?

the 30, maybe not for 450, if you could get one used it'd be cheaper. But the 30 is a higher quality tube amp, the fender is a cheap solid state. the classic sounds reallly good with boss ds-1 and over driver, they are great little amps . The cleans are nice, the distortion is of course classic sounding, it is cool for blues and old rock but if you just run a pedal or 2 into the clean it is great.

so your saying the peavey classic 30 because if i do buy that one ill add a extension.

Adding on an extension would work. It would sound really good with the 'stereo' setup. You know one speaker is mono two is stereo. Get the Peavey Classic 30.

I was going to suggest the Blues Jr over the Classic 30 (its close though!)

Congrats on your purchase! Have a great time with that amp, I've tried one at a Guitar Center. It does rock definately! Now may I ask, how many watts is it?

Thanks

the hot rod delux is a nice little amp. It had more gain them i figured it would, it was a bit too pre-ampish though, i am sure it would have smoothed out if i had cranked it a bit. Very nice amp though.
