I have a friend who has a Peavey Classic 50 410. It's at least 8 years old. He loves the overdrive sound but would like it to be a little more versatile. I've never played one of these but have played the 30. It's my understanding the 50 is 4 EL84's with 3 12AX7's. I assume it's solid state rectifier.
Are there any well known mods for this amp?
My initial thoughts are...
- Lower gain preamp tubes...maybe even 5751's.
- A good matched quad of J.J. EL84's.
- Speakers...recommendations? Any Emminence 10's that stand out? Weber Blue's?
Goal: A good clean tone with clean headroom. Good breakup at higher volumes.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeffhef
