Is the reverb on the Classic 30 weak?

Califiddler · December 1st, 2005, 11:37 PM

I have a Peavey Classic 30 that I bought new a few months ago. The reverb is very weak; I don't hear much difference even when it's turned up all the way. It has been like this since it was new. Is the reverb on these amps just weak, or could there be something wrong with it? Any way to enhance the reverb by equalization, pickup selection, etc.? Thanks.

I think there must be something wrong with the reverb on your amp. It's anything but weak on mine. The rub is that I don't like the reverb on mine and use a Holy Grail instead. It might be my choice of speaker or tubes. Anyhow, the reverb shouldn't be weak.

The reverb in my C30 isn't weak or noisy. Most be something going on with yours.

but not the greatest. I used to carry around a reverb tank if I was playing surf.

Cheers,
