Peavey Amps At The Queens' Diamond Jubilee

Peavey Classic 30 1x12 Tweed Guitar Amp

London - Peavey, the U.S. manufacturer of pro audio equipment, guitar amps, and other musical gear, provided a full line of Peavey Classic Series guitar amplifiers for Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee Concert. The concert was outside Buckingham Palace in London and the featured performers were Sir Paul McCartney, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Sir Cliff Richard.

Guitar tech Steve Prior brought four Classic 50/410 guitar amps, plus some Classic 50/212 amps and a Delta Blues, for the six guest guitarists who performed during the event. Prior revealed that the responsive EQ on the Classic 50 amps was a major advantage for the guitarists, who had to cover a wide variety of musical styles.

“Any tube amp needs to be driven hard, and the Classic 50 comes in a fantastic format as it’s a dual-channel amp, which means you can really control it sonically,” said Prior. “You can balance things up, even with six different guitarists.”

Prior said that the guitarists for Cliff Richard, Tom Jones and Annie Lennox all plugged into either the Classic 50/410 or Classic 50/212 amps.
