Hello I am new to the forum and learning to play guitar. What tips or advice can you give me

I have been given an old Peavey Classic amp from the 70s to use. Has anyone any experience of these old amps and any recommended settings to get the best tone from it?

hi there , nice amp to start off your playing mate , i have an old peavey mace from the 70's great loud and bloody heavy , what kind of sound are you looking for ? cheers

Welcome to the Forum. I do not have any dealings with that particular amp, but I am sure others here do.

Things to do to help learning:

Lessons
Tablature
YouTube vids
And most important--practice

Find a good teacher to be sure you will start with good habit how to play ; the hand on the neck is very important. How to pick.........
A good teacher will give some good exercice.
Good habit will make you'll learn more easely and you'll have more chance to be a very good guitar player.

Thanks for the the good advice guys

alanssaab thanks for the website link. Have you ever used the Peavey Mace at full volume

no probs mate and the loadest i've had it at is 4 which is pretty damned loud and if i remember rightly the peavey classic from back then was 50 watts , which is still mental loud , cheers
