So ever since I bought my Dr. Z amp, I really haven't played my Peavey Classic 30. I had the C30 fixed but there were a lot things I wasn't super happy about, including some very noise power tubes. I've been using the amp as a cab powered by my Pignose head.
Finally today I got around to replacing the power tubes, which is a pain in the neck because of how the tube cage is- not really easy to take off and the glass tips on the tubes can get snapped on the cage if you are not super careful. After replacing the EL84 quad I was stunned at how nice the amp sounds. I've had these Amperex EL84's in there for a very long time and have always used to the amp being noisy but after they were replaced the amp is like new!
