Question:
I have been looking at some tube amps about 30 watts. My question is which amp you think would be better for my situation. I have been offered a great price of $540.00 for a Peavey Delta Blues 2X10 and have been looking at a Peavey Classic 30 which has one 12 inch speaker at regular price of $519.00.
I would be using this amp with my Fender Custom Telecaster (Spec. Limited Ed.)
I would use it at church of course with an attentuator and play rock to praise and worship. The thing that I see in the Delta Blues is that if I later decide to go to any bigger situations it has a Extension cab jack.
Answer:
The peavey doesn't have any type of extension jack at all? That's pretty surprising. I doubt you'll want one anyways. I mic'ed 1x12" configuration is ideal for what you're playing.
I voted for the classic 30 because I don't think the Delta Blues will do rock as well. I tried one out a few times, spending about 30 mins each time and just could not get a good rock sound out of the amp itself. If you're into pedals, that could be something different though.
As far as prices, I would definitely go used. You'll get the same amp much cheaper. I suggest browsing the classifieds section of www.harmony-central.com or ebay.
Answer:
i voted classic 30, that being said, if you go used you can find them for upwards of $200 cheaper. In the sub-$500 range there's a few decent tube amps (used) from Fender, Peavey and Traynor.
Answer:
I'd say Classic 30. The mod for an extension cabinet jack is very simple, as long as you don't run the amp with no speaker attatched (BIG nono)
Answer:
I voted Other - i.e., Traynor! I'm actually using it (YCV40) more than my '69 Bandmaster Reverb.
Answer:
I was looking at the Traynor Amps and I was wondering what the distortion/overdrive sounds like and the overall sound of it. A 15w would be better in my situation than a 30w.
Answer:
I really like the Delta Blues, but that price seems a little high (or at least more that I would pay). I havn't tried the 2x10" version, but the 15" version is very nice. It has tremolo, which is something the other amps don't have.

The price is higher because it has 2X10 speakers, but from what i have looked up on the internet that is a great price. And yea the tremelo is nice.
Answer:
I've been playing the Traynor 20 for a year plus now and it's great. 15 watts are more than enough for the church setting. It allows great overdrive without attenuators, and has great clean sound. Mine has a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker and is wired for an extention cabinet. Stacked with a 2x10 cab the amp is sweet.
Answer:
I think I have my mind set on the Traynor YCV20WR. I have heard so much about these amps so I am guessing the are pretty good.
