A local music store has a Peavey Classic 50, beat to piss but everything works great on it for $350. The presence knob actually broke off but I can still adjust it, just not as easily as if it was not broken. I can fix that for cheap....
I am contemplating if I should buy it or not.
Life is full of important choices... it's just easier when you don't have to make them!
It will not sound like a Marshall or a Boogie. It's kinda like a wierd Fender tweed combo sound, so if you're doing Vai/Satch stuff...besides, that price sucks. It took me 5 seconds to find this ad for a 4-10" ad below*****

This tube-driven Peavey Classic 50 guitar amp is in excellent condition cosmetically and electronically. Three 12AX7s and four EL84 power amp tubes, normal and bright inputs, 3-band passive EQ, and presence control, 50 watts into 16 or 8 ohms. Tweed covering. With footswitch. We will ship, buyer pays shipping. California buyers pay 8% sales tax. We accept cashier's check, money order, Western
Well they sell used on **** for $500-550 usually although I have seen some cheaper. It sounded pretty nice but if I can get one in better condition for the same price or less, forget it!

Im going to dissagree there. Yes, it can get the El84's to overdrive at a lower volume, but the Classic 50 has several more features that make it a MUCH MUCH more versitle amp, which I think is more important than headroom, which you can adjust with differently rated tubes. Mainly, a Master volume which lets you crank the pre and post gains for plenty of overdrive that is pretty versitle, and it has a presence knob, which is something I wished my old Classic 30 had. But, after 3 years with the Classic 30 I traded it for an 80's Laney AOR Pro Tube Lead 100w head, and Im much happier. Its a much more versitle amp, IMO.
