Peavey Classic 50 212 and Fender Stratocaster

[KingKramerTV]

NICE !! What is the chord progression ? Love it.  Do you still have the Classic 50 ? Thinking about picking one up, got any advice ...

[masacarblues]

Darn good demonstration of the Peavey classic 2x12. You did a great job with this and a fine amp indeed.

[MbM20100]

@masacarblues Thanks !!

Great sound! Nice song that reminds me YOU'RE MY WORLD by Joe Satriani on different tempo! I'm also looking for my sound (blues rock pop) and whoch one among the following amps could fit? I dreamt of MESA BOOGIE Lone Star 412, but budget...

- FENDER '65 DELUXE REVERB

- FENDER SUPERSONIC22W

- LINE6 DT50 212

- MESA BOOGIE TRANSATLANTIC TA30

- ZT LUNCH THE CLUB

[MbM20100]

@TheBUD65 Hi thanks !

The '65 ! Why ? Because after 50 years we're still talking about it !!

Also the VOX AC15\AC30 would be a nice alternative.

..Anyway, it's just my opinion.. :-)

Ciao!

[zzlong55]

This amp sounds killer! Same for the Carvin VT50 2x12 Nomad combo amp!

[JgHaverty]

Man sounds awesome :)

[MbM20100]

@JgHaverty Thanks ! :-))

Ciao !

[gmabilli]

Totally sweeeet sound and perfect soulful and tasteful playing. You are right. This amp and guitar are the perfect combo for your wonderful style. Great job on this vid. It was a pleasure to listen to your work!

[raphu0403]

Hey Marco ! :) Excellente vidéo !

J'ai regarde toutes tes videos et je vois que tu as exactement les amplis que je veux.. Tu pourrais me dire lequel tu prefere entre le Vox NT, le peavey classic et le laney lc50? J'hesite entre ces trois la ! Merci :)

[Koen17878]

You've realy got a Clapton-like tone dude ;) Nice playing!

[Hoffelpoff]

Buying my Peavey Classic 50 212 in 2 days, its from 1993 ^^

Btw nice sound m8

[MbM20100]

@Hoffelpoff Congrats ! Great choice !! ;-))

Ciao!

Marco

[intrsoul]

Wow - excellent. And props for using Reaper - the best DAW interface, IMO, at any price.

Pardon me if this was already asked - the reverb must be in the mix right? Stereo reverb added after?

Man that's a great lead sound - I can pick up a C50 4x10 for $300. I guess I should go for it ;-)

[MbM20100]

@intrsoul Hi, thanks !

Yes, you're right ! The reverb is in the "global" mix while the delay is a n FX track where I send the lead guitar track!

The C50 is a great amp ! Go and grab it ! :-)

Ciao!

Marco

[novanine9]

That is more than awesome! You are a very talented guy. What is that chord progression that you are playing?

thanks

[gamergeek3000]

great dynamics. love it.

[richiec71]

Nice stuff! Good playing. Can you tell me what setting were on the Classic 50 when you recorded this? Were you playing straight through the amp? Which Lace Sensors were you using?

[MbM20100]

@richiec71 Hi, thanks !

The settings are shown at 00:52 of the video.. The controls are more or less at 50%. The only knob cranked is the master volume ! :-))

The Lace's are the red, blue and silver.

Ciao !

Marco

[veeoleary]

This is refreshing! Too many folks post videos of out of tune, or me too playing. I love this playing and the top notch sounds. Keep up the fine work, and thanks for sharing this with us. This player could be playing just about any amplifier. It's the person not the gear. I love it!

[MbM20100]

@veeoleary Thanks a lot !

:-)

Ciao !

Marco

[gamergeek3000]

@veeoleary gear helps tho.

[philbio66]

nice tone. nice playing.

[MbM20100]

@philbio66 Thanks ! :-))

[albertotrb]

Ciao Marco, bellissimi suoni e gran bel "tocco", complimenti.Ho da poco acquistato una yamaha sg 1000 del '82 .Per caso girando su youtube in cerca di un bel valvolare (ero orientato sul deville),mi sei capitato tu e il classic 50 che non conoscevo.Colpo di fulmine (per l'ampli chiaramente!!!).Tu cosa ne pensi dell'accoppiata,considerando anche la splittabilita dei pickup, C'è differenza tra il tuo e i nuovi (quelli con il marchione brutto sul davanti)?

Complimenti

Ciao e ancora complimenti

[MbM20100]

@albertotrb Ciao, grazie !

Come mi piace la Yamaha ! Bellissima, complimenti per l'acquisto !

Io ho suonato il C50 anche con una Les Paul ed il risultato a me piaceva. Se poi la SG ha la possibilità di splittare i PU, sei a posto!

Non so se l'ampli sia stato modificato, ma non credo... Credo si tratti solo di un intervento estetico. Se vuoi stare sulla stessa timbrica (forse un filo più chiara) prova anche il delta blues con il cono da 15" ! Costa e pesa meno !

Ciao!

Marco

[slpc30]

love the tone such smooth playing

[Guitarjosii]

Do you still have the backingtrack?

[mak5201965]

really very nice excellent

[Dogheadj]

Great sound, great tune. I can only imagine how you felt while laying these tracks down. More, please.

[pswoods]

Great sounds! Sounds so natural and open - how much EQ in Reaper?

[MbM20100]

@pswoods Hi thanks !

Really not too much ! I usually add a bit @ 60hz for the bassdrum and a bit @ 12Khz to add a bit of ....sparkling highs ! Nothing that could influence too much the guitar's tone !

Ciao!

Marco

[ShredMaster79]

@MbM20100

ciao hai provato ad usare Addictive Drums anzichè EZ? A mio parere è molto migliore sia come samples "asciutti" che come sviluppo dei suoni.

PS. cmq il Peavey Classic 50 è una macchina strepitosa, credo che prima o poi me ne comprerò uno anche io!

[MbM20100]

@ShredMaster79 Ciao ! No..non conosco Addictive Drums. EZdrummer è stato il primo "batterista" che ho avuto ed ho continuato ad usarlo negli anni ! Ormai siamo amici.. :-))

Però darò un occhio anche a AD !!

Grazie per la info !

Ciao!

Marco

[macfronda]

Complimenti! Abbiamo la stessa strumentazione ma il tocco è decisamente migliore il tuo!!! ;-)

LA base che hai utilizzato è tua o l'hai recuperata da qualche parte?

[MbM20100]

@macfronda Ciao, grazie ! ;-))

Si, la base è mia ! L'ho registrata usando Reaper suonando le due tracce di chitarra, il basso (sempre la chitarra clean abbassata digitalmente di una ottava) ed un plugin di batteria: EzDrummer !

Ciao !

Marco

[punkeratheart]

I wish I knew how to upload audio to YT, you guys would be utterly shocked at the sounds I get with a GFS AlNiCo FatBody tele bridge pickup in to a classic 30 with soviet mil-spec 7189 substitutes, JJ-ECC83S in V1 & V2, a 12AX7WA in V3, and a solid poplar 2x12 with early 80's Fostex P.A. loudspeakers! It's so rich and warm, and the speakers along with the 12AX7WA tame the brightness just enough to let it shimmer but not shank! PM me with email address for plans for the cab (wood=$30-40) & MP3's.

[MrBradipo73]

nice touch mate!

[MbM20100]

@MrBradipo73 Thanks ! :-))

[bmesiasbmesias]

I love the sound, not just of the amp, but also of the Lace sensors. Really good combination.

[MbM20100]

@bmesiasbmesias Thanks ! :-))

Ciao !

Marco

[conax133]

Sweet sound, fine playing! Wish I could play half that well.

I have a Classic 50, love it!

I need to crank the master volume, I see.

[MbM20100]

@conax133 Thanks ! :-))

The master volume let the power tubes work a bit more.. :-))

Ciao !!

Marco

[rami939]

Do you have tabs and backing track available somewhere ?

[MbM20100]

@rami939 sorry, no...

:-)

Ciao!

Marco

[rami939]

Hey Marco,

great playing !

Do you have any extra effects pedal for this sound or the guitar is just plugged into the amp. ?

[MbM20100]

@rami939 Hi, thanks ! In this take, I've used only guitar and amp ! In the final track I've added a bit of reverb and delay (using VST plugins)

Ciao!

Marco

[harryflocyberman]

Nice guitar work, I own a classic 50 212 also but without the effects loop, wish I had one. Do you max out your master?

[MbM20100]

@harryflocyberman Hi, yes !

In this way it add a bit of harmonics...at least to my ears. :-)

Ciao!

Marco

[LaroldC]

Wow, nice piece of music! Really exemplifies the amp. And the video content sells it like porno for tone sluts. Been a Classic 50 man myself for years. Have always gotten the sweetest weeping tones out of it, and when you need it to, it can provide a scream that will cook your ears as you stand there agape. I had the C50 and a Fender Twin, but I was opting for the C50 so often that I eventually sold the Twin.

[MbM20100]

@LaroldC Thanks !

:-))

[dyingforastrat]

God I can't stop listening to this, get this out there man!!! it's gold man. The tone is to die for, I am getting ready to buy either a delta blues or classic 50, Im on the fence on which one to get first.

Can you get a decent tone on the classic 50 without blowing the roof off? Thanks

[MbM20100]

@dyingforastrat: Thasnks ! ;-))

Yes, you can play the DB 115 or the Classic 50 at low volume getting good sounds ! These are very good amps IMHO with their own particular voice.

I like the DB 115 more...but it's just a matter of taste ... :-))

Thanks again !

Ciao,

Marco

[DeathMetalAngel123]

Sounds great!

[750tblack]

Love my 2-12,like this one but black

[Carroll49]

I think this is the perfect combo...great sound...I have a G&L S500 and a Gretsch 5122. I found your site by doing the Peavey research. Thanks for the help. I dig your playing...excellent!!!! Put this on a CD and try not to improve on it, to the point that it's not clean and straight up. I'm ready to by your CD.

[scarst1986]

Sounds a little like Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

[CrazyLongboard]

I hear that tubes are louder then solid state amps.

Like, if you had 100W of tube power and 100W of solid state power the tube would be louder, is this true?

[frenzexperiment]

try a 15 watt tube amp and you'll hear

[MajereRaist]

This is the case, at least all the tube amps I've played have been louder. Might also be the more airy expression of the tubes vs. transistors, but I prefer tubes for the sound :)

[iaedean]

they aren't necessarily louder. They sound louder because they have more overtones, or harmonics. Thus, a tube amplifier will 'sound' louder and be potentially more piercing to the ear. To answer your question simply, I'd say a 100W tube is louder than a SS

[rchiav]

They're not louder, they just sound good when over driven past what they're rated for. The clipping that happens (distortion) sounds good so you're putting out more than 50w and still sounding good. A solid state amp will sound like crap when it starts to clip (distorts) so you're not going to want to turn it up louder than it's rated for.

The end result is that you can run a tube amp louder, because the distortion is pleasing.

[Noseheros]

Yes, this is true because solid state gives you exactly 100W and tube can be pushed further, therefore they are louder

[MoneyPieBoy]

I've heard 5w tube amps blow the shit out on 100w Solid State amps! Tubes are very lound. Tube/Valve amps FTW!!!

[B2Rockin]

I like your style man ;) keep rockin...

[MbM20100]

Thanks !!!!

Ciao !

Marco

[bpuckett5]

Excellent tone.. I tend to be a bit OCD about tone and amps and you have done alot of MY foot work!! Thank you! I've got the quad EL84 Statesman,thinking of the switch..are you using anything other than natural overdrive? May I purchase a CD of your recordings for my personal listening pleasure...Seriously I enjoy the straight forward approach you use allowing the lead melody and chord progressions to tell the story on the platter of that tone.....Let me know! Blessings!Princeton, West Virginia

[MbM20100]

Thanks a lot for the kind words, bpuckett5 !! :-))

In this video, it's just guitar and amp, no pedals ! The overdrive you're listening to, is the Classic 50's overdrive ! I've added a little bit of reverb and delay on the lead track.

Sorry, I've no CD at the moment...maybe one day... :-))

Thanks again !

Ciao !

Marco

[BluesPossessed]

Very good video production !

You're a greta playr, do you play on any cd ?

No, I don't play on any CD ....not considering those CD's in my car.. :-)))

Thanks again !

Grazie Gabaz !!

Ho venduto il Vox e l'ho sostituito col Classic 50....Dopo tanto girare e provare, con questo ampli ed il DeltaBlòues ho i suoni che cercavo !

Forse ho trovato la pace.. :-)))

Ciao e grazie per la visita !!

Marco

[MbM20100]
