manual abstract
This new amp features a 200 watt RMS power circuit that uses eight 30 amp power transistors, mounted on a massive aluminum heatsink for cool operation. Many new circuits have been developed for this unit which represent the “state of the art” in musical instrument amplification. In order to provide complete tone control, a six channel equalizer has been developed which allows incremental control of the six separate frequency bands. Proper adjustment of the equalizer will allow the bassist to tailor the response to duplicate the sound of any amp, or to create his own personal sound. The distortion/fuzz effect on the Bass features expanded versatility in the use of controlled distortion or density. The combination of the distortion/fuzz effects with the equalizer can be used to color the sound to suit any taste. A master gain control is provided on the Bass and can be used to obtain a number of effects. The most common use of this control is to obtain overdrive and sustain at low volume levels. The master gain can also be used as a sensitivity control for regulating amp response and noise level in the studio. Also included in the master section is our unique “Slope” control. The new slope control acts on both channels and provides a method of tailoring the low end rolloff to suit the playing conditions. By rolling off the extreme low end, added punch can be added to the sound with only slight sacrifice in overall tone. Our exclusive “Automix” feature has been incorporated into the circuitry of the Bass. This new feature, along with the master volume control, will allow the bassist virtually unlimited sustain and overload characteristics by running the two channels in parallel or series by means of our “automixing” footswitch. The requirements of the modern bassist are very demanding in regard to the amp and especially from the speaker system. We offer the New Bass with several combinations of speakers to suit the requirements of the individual. The 215 cabinet is the most popular configuration and is capable of tremendous punch in the low end due to its horn loaded port design. The two fifteen inch drivers provide a rich midrange by direct radiation. The 118S folded horn uses one massive eighteen inch driver in a new single, smaller more portable package which delivers all the power and efficiency of the larger folded horn cabinets. The combination of the two 118S enclosures provides truly phenominal bass response and unbelievable power handling for large areas. For those who prefer a more “punchy” bass sound the dual 412 cabinets are the ideal choice because of the extended range of the twelve inch speakers. The twelves tend to emphasize the middles and upper harmonics of the strings. OUTPUT POWER: 200 watts RMS @ 1% THD into 2 ohms SENSITIVITY: 20 mV @ 1 KHZ (Tone controls flat, volume 12:00) INPUT IMPEDANCE: 330 K ohm SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO: 66 db (50 K ohm source impedance) The Bass The new Peavey “Вам” amplifier represents the “state of the art” in solid state, bass guitar amplification. Many recent advances in circuitry, as well as, our new “automix” feature have been incorporated into the “Bass" to provide you with maximum performance and long, trouble free operation. The versatility of the equalization circuitry and switching facilities built into the "Bass” are unmatched by any other brand of amplifier commercially available today. The “Bass” is not unique in having two channels, but is unique in featuring a complete switching facility which allows any combination of the two channels to be used for incredible sustain, overload dynamics, and harmonic control. By proper use of the “automix" feature, in conjunction with the six channel equalizer, almost any bass sound can be created. Both pairs of the main input jacks(1) are arranged in a unique circuit that allows a wide range of input levels to be handled by the bass. Input “1” is the high gain input and should normally be used when plugging in your instrument. Input “2” is the low gain input and should be used if the signal from your instrument tends to overload (distort) the preamp. If two instruments are used and both jacks "1” and “2” are used, the circuit automatically balance« the gain of the two inputs so that the sensitivity of both are identical. PARALLEL INPUT By plugging your instrument into the parallal |ack(2), the switching circuit automatically places the signal from your instrument into both channels. Plugging into this parallel jack is the same as using a patch cord to bridge normal and effects channels, except that the internal switching circuitry automatically performs the patching function. When plugged into the parallel jack, both effects and normal gain controls are active and the desired blend of each can be found by varying the level of each, relative to the other. Each individual channel’s tone controls set the overall tonal balance and should be adjusted according to personal taste. The master galn(3) ...
