I have read some reviews on the Delta Blues amp where this 15in Blue Marvel has a special tone that the Classic 30 will not get you. They say you can even use it on an acoustic guitar. You must not have the volume up much as close as this Bad Boy is to your Left ear. LOL
If I had it on the drive channel with very little gain and the volume at 1 or 2 , playing humbuckers is it sweet "OR" do I have to crank the volume ? Great music as always Willy !
@JonasSweden1 it is really a hard call. hhhmm...they both have their good points.DB has tremolo,but is bigger,heavier,I feel less speaker break up.C30 smaller, more portable, speaker seems to breakup earlier, no tremolo.I guess I would pick Classic 30. Thanks friend :-)
You wouldn't be selling that Peavey Delta 115 , would you ? It would be great if I could get a really good condition used one . Thanks again , for all your great video's ! Jerry - aka - HUTCHfromBA .
@hutchfromba I have a Fender Blues Jr. NOS that I like.I would like a Fender Super Sonic 22 or 60.For when I use my Ibanez with Humbuckers, I use my Line 6 Floor Pod Plus into a PA powered speaker rated at 550 watts.It is my Metal setup.Thanks friend :-)
I know that you are a fender fan but have you ever played the delta 115 with humbuckers . I own a Epi LP standard with gibson 490 t & 490 r . Jimmy Page wiring . I do play mostly BLUES . Or try too . I'm real interested in having a good to great amp for Blues that sounds a little different than everybody else . I'm just afraid that the buckers will get muddy at the low end especially . Thanks !
I'm going to have to buy a Blues Jr instead of this because this will kill my back to bring to gigs. This sounds really cool though and I'll probably pick it up in a few years. Seems like it goes with the Fender tonality very much and I don't own a Fender and I'm not a real blues guy as... Well, I'm 16. What can I tell ya? I love the raw sound of blues amps!
I'm thinking of buying one off eBay for $290 (plus $40 shiping). The only problem I have with that is I have to take the seller's word and pictures that it's in good shape. If it is in good condition, $340 total is half the cost of a new one... Any thoughts?
@dreekd80 the age is important.The newer models fixed some problems with tube rattling. The newer ones have a Tube Guard, Tube tape and tube retainers on them to fix the rattling noise at even low noise that could be heard before. It still might be a good deal. I am one, who if all possible, to get new and with all upgrades. I am touchy like that ...haha good luck friend :-)
@willyboogerblues thanks for the info. The seller says it includes Tom's tube tamer, which I guess keeps the tubes from rattling. I'm not sure of the exact age.
@willyboogerblues just one more Q if ya dont mind: It sounds like you can play at relatively low volumes and still get a good sound? I mostly play low, at home, but want to be able to crank it if I'm jamming with others. Does it have an OD channel that you can get a good dirty sound with at lower volumes?
@dreekd80 yes, in my demo here I am at a nice room volume. It has a Clean channel and a distortion channel and sounds good at low and loud volumes. Thanks friend :-)
Dude you're hell of a player and thanx for the review. So many ppl say shit about' peavey amps...but when I got myself this amp....I have been a happy camper. I love this amp. I used this amp in live/studio both situations...and I loved the tone that I have got. I'm proud of being a owner of Delta Blues!! keep rockin' \m/
@mhasan666 yes, there is sure a lot of opinions out there on gear. I just follow my path. What does not work for others still might work for me. Thanks and take care :-)
@mhasan666 I've noticed that too: a lot of smack talkin about peavey (probably cuz they're mostly associated by people with heavy metal), and I admit I used to do it as well. It's a form of snobbery and I'm over it. If it sounds like that, it's a good amp and that's that!
@stonodo hahahaha....you said repressed. It is true, it is about music and gear. I like to put "Playing For Jesus Christ" on my videos. That is all, no big deal. Thanks :-)
"Playing for Jesus...?" I'm not entirely convinced that a 2000 year old rabbi from the near east whose only contact with music would have been the local cantor intoning his dirges .would understand what the electric blues is about... but then what the fuck do I know. I'm not religious god knows but I find it hard to picture Jesus in frock and sandal doing the bop.
@willyboogerblues Of course it is. I was brought up by strict pentecostalists so have experienced what belief in Jesus is like up close. While I'm not saying this applies to you, most of christians I met were in need of psychiatric help, or had furtive homosexual and/or pedophilic urges or were just plain superstitious and incapable of rigorous thought. Against that, some were very good people Christianity is the old 'Son' religion , Mithraism, etc, an astrological metaphor in human dress.
Just got one was sceptical went into the music store the fellow has a bit of gain and post and he was shaking the building etc. I play all styles and this amp will do it, it's richer with a 15" speaker....
@Phishboy26 el84's are cool thats for sure. I have used different amps using a THDYJ to convert 6l6's to el84's with really great results! for overall sound and breakup to me,el84's may possibly sound better than any tube for my taste. That being said, some of the best sounding amps I played through were not using el84's. Just an observance from my view. Thanks friend :-)
@willyboogerblues I went with the loudness of 6l6's for a while and it got to the point where i just wanted a great overall sound which is what i love so much about EL84's 6l6s are loud but have way 2 much low end and a harsh breakup at times which i dont like that much. Sound over loudness is why i have chosen to stick with EL84's
@willyboogerblues From what i have heard the Super Sonic 22 is amazing sounding. My thing is i play both Single Coil and Humbuckers and i think the Super Sonic has enough Overdrive to satisfy anyone that plays a Strat for sure.I could see myself using the Vintage Channel alone without the use of OD or Distortion Pedals and The Burn channel and some Seymour Duncan Humbuckers would be a match made in heaven.
@Phishboy26 Bummer part is that I can never find one around to test it out. When I get the dough I will order one. If I do not like it I will send it back.
@willyboogerblues Being left handed i have that issue with Guitars. All of my guitars except my Fender Strat i got off of Ebay because no store had them in a left handed model. I knew upfront a Strat was going to be one of my guitars and it was the first Guitar i purchased.
hey will this is Gabriel from Raleigh NC Hope all is well with you. Just wanted to say hello and want to know if you have heard anything from America's Got Talent about results from the Atlanta auditions
HOLY CRAP, you look like a totally different person without your beard...i just came from watching your demo of the Peavey Classic 30 and i actually didnt think it was you for the first few seconds
First of all , Thanks for a real good demo ! Great job with a lot of sounds . Can you tell me what kind of controls are on it and if I keep the master vol very low , will it be playable in a attached house ? Thxs again ! Blues On Man .........
@hutchfromba The controls are pretty standard Pre POST,treb,mid,low,reverb,tremolo (speed,intensity) level (volume) FX loop, input, footswitch. In this video I was playing at a low room volume. There is no line out for PA but you can mic out to one or FX loop out. You get clean sounds and distorted sounds at low or loud volumes. Thanks friend I hope this helped
@jingwah Delta has 15inch speaker or two 10's as well a tremolo. Classic 30 has one 12in speaker no tremolo and is over all smaller in box size. Thanks friend,hope I helped :o)
Thanks for your video. I've a Blues Junior but I would an amp less bright, more hot. I would know if we can use it without powerbreak at home? It's a 30W and I don't know if we must realy play with a hight volume to have a good sound or if we can play with a normal home volume and have a great sound. I want a very good clean and crunch sound. I prefer if there's a good overdrive but isn't my priority.
Homey!!! Great choppin, .. I don.t usually comment on these things, but really enjoyed this one. Very sage advice about giving our gear a chance before "manipulating" . Chet is probably smilin right now... Your talent is truly a gift... Brother Skip
@willyboogerblues That blows, well I hope things take a turn for the better for you. If i remember correctly don't you have a Fender amp to play as well?
great sound just picked up one today used can you tell me what settings your at at 5:47. also i realized it has the speaker wire spliced and into and a cord connector with the wires 1/4" going into each side of the connector and someone marked amp on one side of the cord and amp on the other side? it seems to work and sound fine so far.
I bought a brand new 2007 model last year at a mom & pop outfit in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The Peavey owner's manual has a typo: there are four 6BQ5/EL84's (mine came with JJs) and *THREE 12AX7's (JJ EC83's) -- but manual says _TWO_ 12AX7s.
*THREE is correct!!!
I like the 15" Blue Marvel and, until it blows, will not replace it. If and when the BM blows, I will decide then on a stock replacement or swap a new 15" of a different name (e.g., Eminence Red Coat 15" Big Ben, etc.) I have yet t
great video - i do have one question though.... how can i utilize the effects loop ??? i am going to get the a footswitch channel selector and ALSO have a compressor, wah, digital delay, and a ts9.
What should i run through the fx send and what should i run through the fx return ???
I do not use the FX Loop. it is made to send your signal out to whatever you want to use (compressors,EQ,reverbs,processors, pedals...whatever then back into the amp."IF" I use any pedals I like the result of it in front of the guitar input. Thanks!
Hey Willy..Back here again....the sounds you got with the strat...how loud was the volume, gain etc...and can that be got with the volume lower...I tried a fender delux something and couldnt get the volume passed 1 as it was just too loud..it was 40 watts...how is this at bedroom levels...thanks man ;)
This video was at a low bedroom volume, I think it has an audio taper volume pot. I have never had a problem with volume,low or loud.it seems smooth to me.Some Fenders do not use this volume pot, there are the new Hot Rod 3 line are supposed to have them in it. Thanks,hope I helped!
I'm only up to 1:07 on the timestamp...but dude, you (so-fart) aren't playing like delta blues...play like Robert Johnson (lol so, slide, preferably using a liquor bottle as a slide...hahaha)
Hey Willy,..sound exellent...hey would you say this gives more treble that the peavey classic 30....I thought the classic had a little more drier sound (dryer) how do you spell that,,anyway Ide appreciate it ..great playing as always :)
Thats a good question!I find I did not need to max out the treble on either amp.I cannot really answer your question accurately.They are really both cool amps though.I like them both. Thanks friend, sorry I can't answer your question completely.
@willyboogerblues Thats ok willy, I am trying to get the right amp and having pains searching and hearing different ones :) I like Jack whites tone and I know he uses some fenders but also the peavey sounds like a fender too but just not the highs..or maybe it was the cheap telecaster the guy gave me in the store to try it out...must get back there,,,have a nice day and thanks,,,
@willyboogerblues Thanks, Ive been looking into this one all night now :) and it does seem very nice...there were some people complaining about something to do with this amp not beinbg worth the money and some other things...but Im yet to find out....let me know what you hear too please....ciao .:)
@willyboogerblues Hey willy..in my search ..I've come across this little demon...it seems to sound amazing and in the same price range as the classic 30 etc....have a look when you have time and please if you know something about these I'de be interested in your opinion :) here it is.... Laney LC30-112
nice playing. can i ask you does this amp go from really quiet to crazy loud because i am a bedroom player and only play the occasional gig, but i really like the sound of these, but if its too loud i could have trouble with flat mates. what do you think? cheers
I am playing this amp in a bedroom volume in this video, I recorded with it and played live. which seemed to really have the juice when I needed it. To me it was a good all around amp. if you are really wanting pre and power tube all out natural saturation at a low volume I would buy a 1 to 5 watt tube amp and crank it wide open. Attenuators are an option to.I went the attenuator route and was not really satisfied.If you know this is the amp you really want, I would go for it :-) Thanks!
@willyboogerblues Wish I could play that fingerpicking stuff you play. I just feel drawn to it, but don't know where to start with learning it. Are you using a thumb pick or is that just finger nails? Also, how long do you grow your nails?
I like that old style pickin to. Sometimes I use a thumb pick, in his video I did not. I keep my nails short. I think the idea is to play the bass, rhythm and lead all at the same time. I am not a pro at it but I get by. Good luck with it! Thanks Friend!
@willyboogerblues Thanks for replying. Yea, I can't grow my nails too long, they break and then my guitar playing is equivalent to the feeling of walking around with one shoe on!!!
I just got this amp, thanks for showing me this video, got new idea's on how to use it. It also sounds awesome with my slide! I love my new amp! keep it rockin,
A greattttttttttttt review! Not too much talking, and a lot of beautiful playing by a very talented guitarist! Well done =) Even though I'm more of a Gibson-guy, that doesn't matter xD And the amp is fantastic as well, I bought one a few days ago, and I'm truly blown away by its sound.
smokin' review, thanks. I'm trying to decide between this and the Delta Blues 210, which has two 10" speakers, where you've got the one 15" speaker. The 15" might give more bottom, what do you think? Thanks for the vid.
There is nothing really like playing them both to see for yourself. If you like speaker breakup you may find this in the two 10's to be more pleasing. The 15inch is a pretty clean speaker.Its hard for me to really say overall, I have not played on Blue Marvel 10inc. speakers. Thanks!
I was over a buddy's house and he had a black widow in one of these that he pulled from a dead solid state bass amp (TKO-115 maybe?) and it really sounded amazing. It was so wide open and airy, and the crunch tones were unreal. I liked it so much, I built a 1x15 cabinet for my classic 30 and loaded it with a 15" scorpion (also a bass driver, but brighter) and now I can actually use the C30 for recording rhythm guitar crunch!
Hey willy what kind of speaker upgrade can I put in my delta blues amp.It had problems from the drive channel bleeding off into the clean channel.I had to turn down the drive channel when I wanted to use clean.The music shop change transistors or what ever they are called,3 of them.Very mid happy amp now sounds much better but want to smooth out the amp.The blue marvel was great till the mod to the amp.Will the blue marvel smooth out over time.
Do you have the 15in or two 10in speakers?Either way you want to go, there are a varity of choices. If you are all about clean then your intrest would be not to get a lower wattage early break up speaker. Check out Celestion speaker website and eminence, webber speakers. Their sites should have speaker descriptions to give you an Idea of the direction you want. Thanks!
Great demo.....Now you got me Gassin for one. I've got a Epiphone Blues Custom 30, nice amp, but I think this is better. HMMM! maybe sell it and get one of these. What is your opinion of the EPI BC 30? Thanks.
I have played lots of amps but I just never have gotten the chance to play the Blues Custom 30,which I have been wanting to for a while.Sorry.I like a few different specific amps for my style playing but I like to explore others to.Thanks friend!
Great Playing and a very usefull review. Thanks. This might be just what I'm looking for.

First of all , Thanks for a real good demo ! Great job with a lot of sounds . Can you tell me what kind of controls are on it and if I keep the master vol very low , will it be playable in a attached house ? Thxs again ! Blues On Man .........
hutchfromba 1 year ago
@hutchfromba The controls are pretty standard Pre POST,treb,mid,low,reverb,tremolo (speed,intensity) level (volume) FX loop, input, footswitch. In this video I was playing at a low room volume. There is no line out for PA but you can mic out to one or FX loop out. You get clean sounds and distorted sounds at low or loud volumes. Thanks friend I hope this helped

whats the difference between delta blues and classic?
jingwah 1 year ago
@jingwah Delta has 15inch speaker or two 10's as well a tremolo. Classic 30 has one 12in speaker no tremolo and is over all smaller in box size. Thanks friend,hope I helped :o)

Thanks for your video. I've a Blues Junior but I would an amp less bright, more hot. I would know if we can use it without powerbreak at home? It's a 30W and I don't know if we must realy play with a hight volume to have a good sound or if we can play with a normal home volume and have a great sound. I want a very good clean and crunch sound. I prefer if there's a good overdrive but isn't my priority.

great sound just picked up one today used can you tell me what settings your at at 5:47. also i realized it has the speaker wire spliced and into and a cord connector with the wires 1/4" going into each side of the connector and someone marked amp on one side of the cord and amp on the other side? it seems to work and sound fine so far.

I bought a brand new 2007 model last year at a mom & pop outfit in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The Peavey owner's manual has a typo: there are four 6BQ5/EL84's (mine came with JJs) and *THREE 12AX7's (JJ EC83's) -- but manual says _TWO_ 12AX7s.
*THREE is correct!!!
I like the 15" Blue Marvel and, until it blows, will not replace it. If and when the BM blows, I will decide then on a stock replacement or swap a new 15" of a different name (e.g., Eminence Red Coat 15" Big Ben, etc.) I have yet t

great video - i do have one question though.... how can i utilize the effects loop ??? i am going to get the a footswitch channel selector and ALSO have a compressor, wah, digital delay, and a ts9.
What should i run through the fx send and what should i run through the fx return ???
thanks a lot !
great video !
slowhand633 1 year ago
I do not use the FX Loop. it is made to send your signal out to whatever you want to use (compressors,EQ,reverbs,processors, pedals...whatever then back into the amp."IF" I use any pedals I like the result of it in front of the guitar input. Thanks!
willyboogerblues 1 year ago
Hey Willy..Back here again....the sounds you got with the strat...how loud was the volume, gain etc...and can that be got with the volume lower...I tried a fender delux something and couldnt get the volume passed 1 as it was just too loud..it was 40 watts...how is this at bedroom levels...thanks man ;)
stevoe1000 1 year ago
This video was at a low bedroom volume, I think it has an audio taper volume pot. I have never had a problem with volume,low or loud.it seems smooth to me.Some Fenders do not use this volume pot, there are the new Hot Rod 3 line are supposed to have them in it. Thanks,hope I helped!

Hey Willy,..sound exellent...hey would you say this gives more treble that the peavey classic 30....I thought the classic had a little more drier sound (dryer) how do you spell that,,anyway Ide appreciate it ..great playing as always :)
stevoe1000 1 year ago
Thats a good question!I find I did not need to max out the treble on either amp.I cannot really answer your question accurately.They are really both cool amps though.I like them both. Thanks friend, sorry I can't answer your question completely.
willyboogerblues 1 year ago
@willyboogerblues Thats ok willy, I am trying to get the right amp and having pains searching and hearing different ones :) I like Jack whites tone and I know he uses some fenders but also the peavey sounds like a fender too but just not the highs..or maybe it was the cheap telecaster the guy gave me in the store to try it out...must get back there,,,have a nice day and thanks,,,

@willyboogerblues Hey willy..in my search ..I've come across this little demon...it seems to sound amazing and in the same price range as the classic 30 etc....have a look when you have time and please if you know something about these I'de be interested in your opinion :) here it is....

nice playing. can i ask you does this amp go from really quiet to crazy loud because i am a bedroom player and only play the occasional gig, but i really like the sound of these, but if its too loud i could have trouble with flat mates. what do you think? cheers
buzzmund 1 year ago
I am playing this amp in a bedroom volume in this video, I recorded with it and played live. which seemed to really have the juice when I needed it. To me it was a good all around amp. if you are really wanting pre and power tube all out natural saturation at a low volume I would buy a 1 to 5 watt tube amp and crank it wide open. Attenuators are an option to.I went the attenuator route and was not really satisfied.If you know this is the amp you really want, I would go for it :-) Thanks!
willyboogerblues 1 year ago
@willyboogerblues Wish I could play that fingerpicking stuff you play. I just feel drawn to it, but don't know where to start with learning it. Are you using a thumb pick or is that just finger nails? Also, how long do you grow your nails?
andrewpmast 1 year ago
I like that old style pickin to. Sometimes I use a thumb pick, in his video I did not. I keep my nails short. I think the idea is to play the bass, rhythm and lead all at the same time. I am not a pro at it but I get by. Good luck with it! Thanks Friend!

smokin' review, thanks. I'm trying to decide between this and the Delta Blues 210, which has two 10" speakers, where you've got the one 15" speaker. The 15" might give more bottom, what do you think? Thanks for the vid.
Ondelay 1 year ago
There is nothing really like playing them both to see for yourself. If you like speaker breakup you may find this in the two 10's to be more pleasing. The 15inch is a pretty clean speaker.Its hard for me to really say overall, I have not played on Blue Marvel 10inc. speakers. Thanks!
willyboogerblues 1 year ago
I was over a buddy's house and he had a black widow in one of these that he pulled from a dead solid state bass amp (TKO-115 maybe?) and it really sounded amazing. It was so wide open and airy, and the crunch tones were unreal. I liked it so much, I built a 1x15 cabinet for my classic 30 and loaded it with a 15" scorpion (also a bass driver, but brighter) and now I can actually use the C30 for recording rhythm guitar crunch!

Hey willy what kind of speaker upgrade can I put in my delta blues amp.It had problems from the drive channel bleeding off into the clean channel.I had to turn down the drive channel when I wanted to use clean.The music shop change transistors or what ever they are called,3 of them.Very mid happy amp now sounds much better but want to smooth out the amp.The blue marvel was great till the mod to the amp.Will the blue marvel smooth out over time.
TheDevillll 1 year ago
Do you have the 15in or two 10in speakers?Either way you want to go, there are a varity of choices. If you are all about clean then your intrest would be not to get a lower wattage early break up speaker. Check out Celestion speaker website and eminence, webber speakers. Their sites should have speaker descriptions to give you an Idea of the direction you want. Thanks!
