I think dollar for dollar that amp sounded maybe better than most of the new crop that goes for twice it's cost.
They're everywhere so it should be easy for You to try one out.
Should be able to find a decent one used for 500 bucks.

Isn't the 2x12 classic the 50 watt Peavey? I think those are $750-850 in the shops new. The only classic 2X12 items I can find on the web are a cabinet for about 450 which would go with a classic 30 head at about 450-500 (just based on web searches) or the Classic 50 212 for right at $800. I couldn't find a 2x12 peavey classic for $500 new as a combo. Only the classic 30 112 came in at that price point (and even then it was more like 550-600 new). Did not check used / ebay.
In any event, if that is the tone you love, it would still be an adequate purchase. But, a 2x12 would be a larger and heavier amp that was in the original list. I am assuming the portability of the smaller amp is a desired goal.
