FS Feeler: Peavey Classic 400 -Long Story

Sign in to disble this ad
Alright...after getting my Peavey 400 and playing it (before the damaged tubes popped), I think that this may not be the amp for me.

While it sounds good, it really is heavy and I can not seem to find a Peavey cab big enough to put this amp on without it overhanging. I like Peavey stuff and want to continue to have a 15" or 18" along with a couple of smaller drivers, but I am not a 4x10 kinda guy). I was looking at several 1820 cabs, but can not seem to find a resonable seller who actually wants to follow through on the sale.

Anyways, with the VB-2 on the horizon and the prospect of spending another $300 for a setup/biasing and $200 for a proper wheeled road case, I am seriously thinking of selling this amp.

The amp is in pretty good condition, a little wear/scuffs on the carpet edges and the metal corners are a little worn/rusted..otherwise its really nice. Would anyone want this for $525 including shipping in the lower 48 states? I just want to see if there is interest before I make my final decision!

You know what...I found someone to setup the amp with new tubes for $250 and have been urged by my bandmates to hold onto the amp, so I am going to keep it. Didnt seem like there was that much interest anyway. thanks
