Never heard of this before:

http://www.yorkville.com/products.asp?id=359&cat=18&type=32

It runs two EL84s and 3 12ax7s.

Sounds very familiar :p

Comes with an Emminence Red Coat "Governor" 12 incher.

News to me.

    I played one. Great amp, but I didn't like the clean channel. The YCV40WR was MUCH warmer.

    yeah when keeponrockin said he played it I was shocked to know that they came out with it

    i'm interested to see if the overdrive is as good as the 50BLUE

    very limited. jump if you're going to try it. i'm curious about it but i need another amp like i need a hole in the head so i won't try it. i'd need to trade to buy it and i can't let go of either my current amps.

    I have a feeling that the amp is going to sound very different. It's got an Emminence instead of Celestian, and it's running El84s instead of EL34s.

    Basically, it sounds like a competitor to the Classic 30.

    The EL84s should give it a bit of bark to the clean channel. I don't know what the circuitry is like, but I bet the dirt channel sounds pretty good.

    Classic 30 is a nice amp but the Delta Blues is my favorite Peavey

    Honestly, I am "tube dumb" so I have no idea but the speaker would make a huge difference. I love the sound of the Vintage 30 in any amp.

    I've got a friend with a Classic 100 w/ a 410 and a 115 and that is my fav Peavey by far. I think Stone was using that Stack back in the day.

    He's also got a Delta Blues, and that's a great amp as well. Amazing for jazz and blues. He picked it up for a big band jazz group he was playing with.

    I never tried the 50, but I wasn't really impressed with the 15's clean. Like it was alright, but not 'knock your socks off oh my god I love it' clean. Not as much warmth.
