HNAD congratulations on a fine piece of gear, I have never played any Peavey personally, but have had quite a few friends over the years that have played the snot out of them, I have played a 6505, but not long enough to actually know what it is capable of! Congratulations once again on your score !
Cheers Mitch

I have repaired around 200 Peavey Classic 30 amps and it was the power transformer every time.
After replacing with the new improved PT never seen them again. As far as replacement parts Peavey is the best to deal with.

This is good information to have. Thank you 67plexi.
I will keep an eye on this.
 
I played the amp last night at rehearsal.
Overall it sounded pretty good. One thing I found was that because of the common EQ, I had to have the clean channel overly bright in order to prevent the overdrive channel from being too dark. This was with my Fender HSS strat. I was on the middle pickup of the strat so there is no tone control in the HSS configuration.
I will have to fiddle with it some more.

Amp looks awesome, that colour is so nice

We did dial off a little treble on Clean, it sounded better. Overall it is a nice amp, drive is enough for what we do even without a distortion pedal.

Clean may improve a little with a chorus or a delay pedal in the loop, or even adjust the tone on the strat ?

Trial and error it was it’s first outing and we all like it
 
Leeds, there is no tone control for the middle pickup in the HSS strat configuration so no tone adjustment is possible.
Maybe some wiring mods to allow guitar’s middle tone control to affect both neck and middle pickup are in order. We will have to see.

Ah ok, tweaking is fun anyhow

I have the luxury of an EQ on both clean and OD channels :) is not so hard just to tweek the treble

It all changes when the volume rises tho so we see how it is Sunday, maybe just fine as is
