THE PEAVEY AUDITION 30, INTRODUCED IN THE MID-1980S, IS A SOLID EXAMPLE OF PEAVEY’S COMMITMENT TO DELIVERING RELIABLE, NO-FRILLS AMPLIFICATION. THIS 20-WATT PRACTICE AMP, WHICH FIRST HIT THE MARKET AROUND 1987, IS OFTEN REMEMBERED FOR ITS STRAIGHTFORWARD FUNCTIONALITY AND SOLID PERFORMANCE.
BUILD QUALITY:
THE AUDITION 30 HAS A STURDY, NO-NONSENSE BUILD TYPICAL OF PEAVEY AMPS FROM THIS ERA. ITS RUGGED CONSTRUCTION MAKES IT A DEPENDABLE CHOICE FOR BOTH HOME PRACTICE AND SMALL GIGS. THE CASING IS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND THE RIGORS OF TRANSPORT AND REGULAR USE, AND THE CONTROLS FEEL DURABLE AND RESPONSIVE.
SOUND:
FOR A PRACTICE AMP, THE PEAVEY AUDITION 30 OFFERS A SURPRISING AMOUNT OF CLARITY AND PUNCH. IT FEATURES A SINGLE 10-INCH SPEAKER, WHICH DELIVERS A WELL-BALANCED SOUND THAT’S BOTH CRISP AND FULL. WHILE IT MIGHT NOT COMPETE WITH HIGHER-END AMPS IN TERMS OF TONAL VARIETY, IT PROVIDES A SOLID CLEAN TONE AND A DECENT AMOUNT OF HEADROOM FOR ITS SIZE. THE DISTORTION, WHILE NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH-GAIN, IS SERVICEABLE FOR BLUES, ROCK, AND LIGHTER GENRES.
FEATURES:
THIS AMP IS DESIGNED WITH SIMPLICITY IN MIND. IT INCLUDES BASIC CONTROLS FOR VOLUME, TREBLE, MIDDLE, AND BASS, PLUS A SINGLE CHANNEL WITH AN OVERDRIVE SWITCH. THIS STRAIGHTFORWARD CONTROL PANEL MAKES IT EASY TO DIAL IN YOUR SOUND WITHOUT GETTING BOGGED DOWN IN A MYRIAD OF OPTIONS. ONE NOTABLE FEATURE IS ITS RELIABILITY – IT’S BUILT TO LAST AND WITHSTAND THE OCCASIONAL BUMP OR KNOCK.
PORTABILITY:
AT JUST 20 WATTS, THE AUDITION 30 IS QUITE PORTABLE, MAKING IT AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR PRACTICE SESSIONS AT HOME OR IN SMALL SPACES. IT’S COMPACT ENOUGH TO FIT INTO TIGHT CORNERS AND LIGHT ENOUGH TO CARRY WITHOUT STRAINING YOUR BACK.
