FANTASTIC BLUES HEAD!
2 of 2 found this helpful I'm an old rocker, who's played on big stages and small, but ... well, I'm OLD now! So, the playing I do is some good ole blues. Texas, Chiicago, Memphis, and a few hybrids. I wanted an amp that I could wail away with, but that I could also get great tone out of, even if I was sitting in my living room, by myself, while the rest of the family was asleep. This was IT!
At 20 EL84 watts, this amp has enough juice to work a medium sized stage - especially with the XLR out. But, the ability to drop the power to 5 watts, or even 1 watt! THAT'S awesome!
Now, any amp is only as good as the speaker it plays through (although this one can be run directly into headphones or even USB'd into a DAW). Because I love the old blues sounds, I chose to run my Classic 20MH through a Peavey Classic 115E, cabinet. That big, fat 15" speaker just gives this little amp so much punch and thump that it's hard to imagine that it's only 20 watts.
If you want an amazing, all tube, lightweight, giggable-but-just-at-home-at-home, 2 channel amp with reverb, but you don't need the horsepower of a Plexi, this could be your new buddy!
