View Full Version : Considering selling my Fender Concert and adding an extension cab to my Peavey C-30.

I plugged into my Peavey Classic 30 yesterday for the first time in a while, and was blown away by how much I like that amp. I have my old Fender Concert at home and the C30 has been at work with the thought that I would play there sometimes. But never seem to get the chance.

I need to scrape up some dough and am thinking I do not really need two nice tube amps. The Fender Concert is nice to have, but pretty big for my needs, and frankly, I think the Peavey can cover it. The only two things I like about the Fender are the open sound with the 4x10 speaker arrangement vs. the much more direct 1x12 sound of the Peavey, and the vibrato. I can replicate the vibrato with a pedal, and I don't really use it that much.

I am also thinking I can find myself a good extension cab for the Peavey for not too much, and still be money ahead.

Thoughts?

Any of you guys run extension cabs on your C30s or have a recommendation for one?

I do sunvalleylaw! I bought one of the Kustom 12" extension brand new at a local shop for like $80. I had just swapped the blue marvel in my c30 for a Texas Heat. So I just swapped the cheap Kustom speaker (and it was cheap) for the blue. And boy what a difference. I refuse to go back to a 112! It will not stack since cabinet is actually smaller but it sits nicely under my amp stand. You cant just see it behind the JF-1.

Thanks Cebreez! I almost forgot about those.
