I have to second this opinion.

The worst tube amp I ever bought was a Peavey Classic 30. Very poorly made 
with tubes mounted directly to the PC board, so that the heat caused solder 
joints to melt!!

I tried a couple of Deltas with harp -- too much gain.

I don't know a single musician who gigs a lot in my area who uses a Peavey 
tube amp as their main amp.
