The 15” speaker, borrowed from its big brother, the 50-watt Blues Classic@, is specially voiced for rich, full range tone. It has both more low end and more high end than the 12” speaker in the Classic@ 30. The extra high end also makes for an exceptional sounding acoustic guitar amp - with a bluesy edge. An obvious choice for an external speaker would be the Classic @ 115E which uses the same speaker in a larger cabinet. This combination creates a huge sound that is more than capable of keeping up with a rhythm section in a small club. FEATURES -All-tube preamp and power amp -30 W RMS into 16 or 8 ohms -Tweed-covered cabinet with chrome chassis -Lead and Normal channels: footswitchable -3-band vintage EQ -External speaker capability -Reverb with level control -Effects loop -Boost switch -Tremolo -15” heavy-duty speaker Other products from the Peavey Classic@ Series.

POWER SWITCH (1) Switch to “on” position to activate. PILOT LIGHT LED (2) Illuminates when AC power is being supplied to the unit. TREMOLO SPEED (3) The speed control determines the rate at which the signal is modulated. This control varies the speed of the Tremolo master oscillator and should provide any speed desired for modern music. Clockwise rotation of the speed control increases the speed of the modulation of the tremolo. The Tremolo feature is defeatable from a remote footswitch. TREMOLO INTENSITY (4) The intensity control is used to vary the amount of amplitude modulation of the clean signal. It can be adjusted from barely perceptible to dramatic modulation. Clockwise rotation of the intensity control increases the depth of the tremolo. EFFECTS RETURN (5) Input for returning signals from external effects or signal processing equipment. EFFECTS SEND (6) Output for supplying signal to external effects or signal processing equipment. TREBLE, MIDDLE, AND BASS EQ (7) Passive tone controls that regulate high, mid, and low frequencies, respectively. BOOST SWITCH (8) Boosts the overall system gain. Depress to the “in” position to activate. REVERB (9) Reverberation is an echo effect. Rotate clockwise to increase the effect. POST GAIN (10) Controls the overall volume level of the Lead channel. The final level adjustment should be made after the desired sound has been achieved.

PRE GAIN (11) Controls the input volume level of the Lead channel. CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH (12) Allows selection of the Lead or Normal channel. NOTE: Channel selection may also be achieved by the remote footswitch. If remote selection is desired, the channel switch must be in the “in” (Lead) position. NORMAL GAIN (13) Controls the volume level of the Normal channel. INPUT (14) The input jack will accept signals from all types of guitar pickups. Be sure to use a high-quality shielded cable to connect the guitar to the amplifier. EXIENSlON REMOTE -uI SWITC”

Provided for the connection of external speaker cabinet. Minimum total impedance is 16 ohms. REMOTE SWITCH JACK (16) Provided for the connection of the optional remote footswitch. The footswitch is used to select the Lead or Normal channels and defeat tremolo. When using the remote footswitch, always insert the plug fully (second click) to ensure proper operation.

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures. Duration Per Day In Hours

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prcvcnt a permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure Icvcls juch as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
