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.

New THR10 - THR5 Desktop Amplifiers From Yamaha

The new Yamaha THR series of desktop guitar amps is the first amplifier designed to accommodate how you play off-stage. Conventional guitar amps work great on stage at loud volumes, but what about everywhere else you play? Most amps are just small versions of stage amps and can't give you what you need at home or in the studio - great tone at low volume!

The THR10 has everything you need: great tones that push amp modeling to a new level, recreating the exact response and experience of playing a tube amp; ultra-realistic reverbs and effects; and true hi-fi quality stereo audio playback that no guitar amp can get close to - all wrapped up in a package designed to mirror how you really play off-stage.


The THR5 is like the 10, but has 5 amp types, no USB (according to the specs.), but has the same 10 watt output.

You have your big amp that sounds great cranked up to 11. Maybe you have your practical, smaller amp for rehearsals and smaller shows. Now you have the perfect third amp. The amp for everything else - Yamaha THR.
