Can the Peavey take both? I know there's some that can do both, but i didn't think the peavey classic was one of them


The Peavey classic 50/50 takes 8 X  EL84 valves - small ones like in a Vox AC30

The older Peavey classic 60/60 used 4 x 6l6GC

Ok so i put in my new tubes. When i first started it all up, the sound was fine and i had a much more 'fuller' tone. I turned it off, put the poweramp back into the rack case and i get this hum. I can still get sound out of it, but i get an annoying amount of hum when i stop playing. Now there's nothing in the room or downstairs that can interfere with the signal so it must be something else. Any one help?

sounds like you have a ground loop in your rack case - try isolating the rack from the case with those plastic washers.
