Really like the sound of the classics
Classic 50 is better built, and I think sounds better.
Classic 30's are a pain to work on, ie even a trivial repair can be expensive.

I would want a good reason for buying a Peavey Claasic over a used Fender Blues / HRD.
Transformers are mature technology, and should never fail under normal use, so this is a significant fault with this amp in my opinion.
great amps for cheap money!
Only trouble was a bit of valve rattle, but at gig levels it didn't matter
...and the Jack Daniels classic always looked cool to me...

Still built like a piece of crap inside, anyway. The C30 is - or was* - my least favourite Peavey, and I am actually a fan of the brand in general.

It also had crappy output valve placement - I snapped two of the EL84s and bent the pins on the other two taking a bag out the boot of the car - the bag caught on the tips of the valves and there was lots of broken glass everywhere.
I sold it and bought a Boogie MKIV.
A couple of years ago I had the hankering for a C50 so bought one cheap off eBay. Again the clean channel was really nice but the dirty channel was very harsh and raspy in my opinion. I did a few mods - changed some caps and the slope resistor and added a mid shift switch and it totally transformed the amp into what it should have been.
In fact I might buy another one day and repeat the exercise
