Gigging guitarists need amps that are dependable, sound great, and are ready for life on the road - and that's how Peavey designed the Classic 20 MH mini tube amp head. Two channels lets you cover everything from sweet clean chimes to overdriven rock leads, and the wide-ranging character is perfect for blues, country, and rock players. Guitarists at Sweetwater really dig the Tube Status Indication, which helps you identify problem tubes before they ruin a gig. And the switchable power modes allow you to drop the wattage for cranked-amp tone at lower volumes. For an all-around rockin' amp, you'll be pleased with the Peavey Classic 20 MH.

Peavey Classic 20 MH Tube Guitar Amplifier Head at a Glance:


Switchable wattage for great tube tone at any volume


Perfect for creating your own unique guitar tones


Designed for long-term performance


Switchable wattage for great tube tone at any volume





The Peavey Classic 20 MH is perfect for practice and recording, thanks to its switchable 20-watt, 5-watt, or 1-watt operation. Lowering the wattage allows you to get cranked-amp tone and distortion at lower volume levels. Whether you're playing in your bedroom, in your studio, or onstage, you can dial in the perfect amount of tube tone and volume with the Classic 20 MH.





Perfect for creating your own unique guitar tones





We've had the great opportunity to get to know Hartley Peavey here at Sweetwater, and we know that Peavey approaches guitar amp design with the goal of making them sound as unique as your playing style. The Classic 20 MH definitely has a vibrant sound to it and sensitive touch response, but it doesn't have a specific, defined voice. Spend some time with it, and you're sure to come up with a sound that is distinctly yours.





Designed for long-term performance





We keep referring to the Classic 20 MH as a gig-ready amp, and we mean that Peavey designed this guitar amplifier with long-term performance in mind. Proper tube maintenance isn't the favorite activity of any guitarist, so the Classic 20 MH's Tube Status Indication makes it much easier to make sure your amp is always ready to rock. We know that sometimes a direct output is a much better solution than miking up your cabinet, and the Classic 20 MH's Mic Simulated Direct Interface makes it easy to plug directly into the PA with respectable tone. From practice to recording to performance, the Peavey Classic 20 MH is the kind of amp you can count on.
