This is from the Peavey website. It indicates a date between 2001-2003. I found a date from another source indicating 2003. They Fury IV is a nice instrument! 'Offset double cutaway solid body, 21-frets, Quilted Maple top, solid maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, two VFL internally-active pickups, 3-band active EQ, single master volume, mid, bass, and treble controls, satin chrome hardware, available in Trans. Green, or Sunburst finish, 34 in.

2001-2003' There is further info available from Peavey: Apr 10, 2014.
Hey all, I recently picked up what I believe to be an early 90's Peavey Classic 50 212. It's tweed and it's got no effects loop. The serial number starts with '00-' and I don't know much more about it than that. I have 2 questions that someone more knowledgeable than me can hopefully answer:.

What speakers came in these models? This amp is trashed and someone painted the back of the speakers black. I can still see serial/model numbers but that's it. What tubes should this amp run? It's got el34's in it now. No original footswitch so I bought a replacement and I noticed that the reverb doesn't switch cleanly; sometimes I hear an artifact of the reverb after I switch.
Sometimes I hear a fraction of a second decay of the reverb even when it is switched 'off' from the footswitch. If I turn the reverb knob to '0' I do not hear the problem. I am the type of guy that reads this forum every day, absorbs information, and only post when I have something really pertinent to say or have issues that I know can be fixed.
I really, really appreciate this place and the wealth of knowledge that is resident here. Regards, Roy. I have an 90s 4x10 version. Can't say I have heard the reverb issues you are speaking about. Blue Marvel Speakers seem to be the stock model, but mine don't have the stickers like the more recent ones do. As far as tubes go here is what I put in mine from EuroTubes: Standard Retube for C30, C50 and DB Amps Price: 68.50 Description: Does your C30 or C50 have a case of the flabby lows, harsh mids & brittle highs?
Here is your answer! A matched quad of the JJ EL84's for power, two standard ECC83S's for V1 and V2 with a graded high current ECC83S for V3. Just let me know in the comments box on the check out page if your looking for max headroom, moderate, or an early breakup so I can select a proper grade for the power tubes. EL34's are a different size from EL84's, and the won't fit in the same socket.
Check again, I'm pretty sure you've got EL84's in your amp. BTW, They only made that version Classic 50 without the effects loop for one year.
I can' remember exactly, but I think it was 1991. Post pics on the Peavey forum, someone there is bound to know. I've got two Classics, a newer 410 with the FX loop, and a mid 70's 212 like the one in the top photo, but with tweed tolex. Unfortunately my 212 is just a door stop at this point. Needs more work than it's worth. Maybe someday it will be worth it, or I can use the cab for something else. The VTX Classics are great amps too, very under-valued, IMHO.

I have an early '90's 410, that I purchased new. I believe it was in '91. It had no effects loop, but I had one added before I picked it up from the store. I have no idea why I thought this would be needed. I've used it maybe twice. Anyway, as for the tubes, on mine I remember it having the tube numbers labeled on the chassis.
I think you have to look under the chassis at the back. It should be around the tube access cover. It is labeled like the speaker output jacks. I don't have mine here right now to check for you.
Now, the speakers are kinda up in the air. I've been told that they are Blue Marvels as well as Scheffield(?). I don't know. They sound pretty good, but can get a bit flabby & woofy at high volume with a little too much bass. Mine are WELL broken in, so I assume that's just the way they are. I've never done a thing to this amp, other than replacing tubes.
I have used & abused it more than I care to admit for almost 20 years. It has NEVER let me down. I do plan to start addressing some issues that have always bothered me this winter. I'll get into that another time though. Congrats on your purchase. Good luck working the bugs out.
These are awesome amps. P.S.-I'd love to find one of the original 1x15 extension cabs for these things.
I think that would be an incredible set up. Sorry for the possibly a really stupid question. I am a bit confused about where the ext cab must be connected and what ohms rating it must be.? In the PV C 50 212/410 Manual, there is said: SPEAKER OUTPUTS: Speaker output (1/4') jacks are provided for 16 and 8 ohms. When both jacks are engaged, amplifier impedance is 8 ohms. Yes, there are 2 jacks under the chassis lower side, one being marked 8 ohms (normally not used), and the other one marked 16 ohms (thats whereto the series-parallel inner 4x10' 16 ohms speakers connect in my 410). But, on the amp there is actually no jack to have clear marking 'ext cab, such and such ohms' Is the original 15' ext cab (man I wish I had this) 8-ohm?

Peavey Amplifier Serial Numbers
Stock speakers unknown. No info I've been able to find.
Awesome clean channel. Overdrive sucks with out pedals. (Just my opinion). (a) Automix both channels (b) One on board effect, I think it's a flanger. Not all that impressive.
(c) Foot switch controls channels, auto mix, and reverb. (d) Spring reverb. When I bought this amp in the eighties it was being touted by Peavey as the poor mans Twin. As far as the clean sound goes I think they got it pretty close. Not that it sounds like a twin but it's certainly as clean as one.
Lots of headroom. I used this amp back then for a chicken fried rock cover band I was playing with. Skynyrd, ARS, Marshall Tucker etc. I read somewhere that Skynyrd even used it on some of their recordings. Best thing I did for this amp lately was to toss the original speakers and install a set of Eminence 'Texas Heats'.
The original 'Sylvania 6L6' tubes are awesome if they are still good. Mine were worn out so I put a set of GT GE 6L6's. Those tubes brought it back to life in a big way. I also have to say that IMHO the SS preamp on this thing doesn't really do justice to it's really good power section. However if you've got a Roland Micro Cube laying around then just plug it into the Peavey and listen to it transform into a whole new animal. It flat out amazed me what it could do with a modern digital preamp driving it. Of course everything with old amps depends on condition but anyone who owns a Micro Cube and wants to turn it into a 50W 2X12 tone monster on the cheap might want to think about checking ebay for one of these.
I'm pretty sure you can pick up a decent one for +- $200. Oh by the way.
Of all my guitars it seems to like the Tele best.
The first digit of the prefix was a number, indicating what year in the decade the piece was manufactured. That was followed by a letter, which IIRC ('If I Recall Correctly,' in case you were wondering) indicated the type of gear in question.
Bappa morya re pralhad shinde mp3 song free download. And in the lower right hand corner there was a number and a letter corresponding to the year the prefix indicated. So, for example, my Bandit 65's serial # is 4A-01900152, so my Bandit 65 was an amp manufactured in year 4 of the 1980s, i.e., 1984. And in the lower right hand corner of the nameplate is the designation 84C, which corresponds to the year indicated in the serial number. IIRC, some time in the early 1990s, that serialization system changed. My Peavey Studio Pro 112 TransTube (1995 or 1996, I believe) has an 8 digit serial number without a prefix.
But then again I have an old Peavey Envoy 110 teal stripe that is a 1990, and uses the serialization system of the 1980s. The Solo Series Bandit 112 was manufactured after the Bandit 75, beginning in 1988, continuing to 1995.
In my limited experience, a teal stripe such as yours would date from 1990 on. Your serial # 1A-05016114 still follows the system used throughout the 80s, and apparently into the early 90s. So that prefix indicates an amplifier manufactured in year 1 of the decade.
Also, that number in the lower right hand corner, '91B,' corresponds with a 1991 date.
