Members BerkleeBill Posted April 4, 2012 Members Share Posted April 4, 2012 OK, I Googled some pics, no saturation, just pre/post gain. Is it me? Or are these photos of the BASS version of this head I ask because this was my bassist's amp for better part of a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flogger59 Posted April 4, 2012 Members Share Posted April 4, 2012 It was marketed as an "all rounder" at the time. How many bass amps had phasers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flogger59 Posted April 4, 2012 Members Share Posted April 4, 2012 OP, i used to have one of these heads in the 80's! i'm glad 'flogger59' found pics of one.. i had looked before. anyway..i ran it into a peavey 4x12 with scorpion speakers and 2 18' cabs. was the loudest thing i have ever owned. s.p.l.'s were insane. ran one of these into it (seymour duncan pickups) if i had a list of the top 5 most foolish things i have done in my life (and there are many)... selling that head ig is on that list. its a solid state head (more of a bass amp if memory serves) and i could have sworn it was 300w RMS. plenty of crunch, can get super clean, kick in the eq and its super huge (think 'And Justice for All' type stuff). i used to run an SD1 to tighten it up a bit...but i was playing mostly thrash metal at the time. damn.. i hope you get it. if you used this with a 4x12 and some 18's ...it would be doom metal heaven if thats your thing. 130w@8ohms, 210w@4ohms, 300w@2 ohms. With four cabs you were at 2 ohms. It must have gotten really hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theAntihero Posted April 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hmm, this one is a bit different, it looks like this: Good for doom makes me happy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dizzle-rock Posted April 4, 2012 Members Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hmm, this one is a bit different, it looks like this: Good for doom makes me happy as well. well..i can't offer an opinion on the amp you have pictured here as i have no experience with that one... i owned the style of the one flogger59 posted pics of above which looks to be a completly different beast ...and thats what my comments were based on. sorry about that... i assumed you were talking about the style that flogger59 posted. but who knows... this could give you some cool sounds...you just have to check it out i suppose. good luck.

Not a problem, i personally cant find out anything on that particular amp. I can find lots on what you were talking about and lots on the 400 series, but nothing lke this. Hell Peavey doesnt seem to have much info either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sbeirnes Posted April 4, 2012 Members Share Posted April 4, 2012 I generally love Peavey amps, but those sound kinda bad. Really loud and really clean. Randy Rhodes used one when he was in Quiet Riot though......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trailsofsin Posted April 5, 2012 Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 I think you've got to buy this and then post clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ovid9 Posted April 5, 2012 Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 I think you've got to buy this and then post clips. Yeah, this really is the only possible option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theAntihero Posted April 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yeah, this really is the only possible option. Im seriously considering it although used by Randy Rhodes isnt exactly a ringing endorsement as his tone reminds me of nails-on-chalkboard mixed with dial-up-modem. Worst case scenario is i go and play it, projectile vomit, then flee the premises cursing Peavey's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gremson Posted April 5, 2012 Members Share Posted April 5, 2012 If it's anything like the Musician 400. RUN. I have one. It is stupid loud and sterile. Makes a decent PA/monitor amp. Does OK for bass, but I can't stand it for guitar. But if you have the option to test it out. If it's cheap, it's always useful to have an all-purpose amp for whatever occasion arises.

Its also only a hundred bucks so its cheap enough not to need it to do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
