All user reviews of 4/5 for the Peavey Basic 112

Purchased from a music store at the local mall in my home town. $499 Canadian.

I don't know why this amp gets such flak from everyone who uses it. I use own two Basic 112s that I stack to compose my rig (send a patch cord from the 'send' port of one amp the input of the other), so it's plenty loud without being as big, cumbersome or expensive as a cabinet. The two combine is a little less powerful that a 1x18.

While the 112 is lacking in the punch category, it's not nearly as bad as most people say. Contrary to what you might have heard, it does not indeed have "zero punch". If that is the case with you, my guess is you don't have the treble up enough on your bass, or your blend is too high.

Very sturdy. They stack well, and I don't fear that one will break under the weight of the other. Fairly heavy (48 lbs. each) but not impossible to carry by hand.

These things are built tough. Made for the musician who likes to play actual shows, but doesn't to throw down thousands on a Marshall stack.

Transistor amplifier in 4ohms 75w dveloppant, the Peavey Basic 112 is a good working tool equipped with everything you need to find a good sound: between active / passive, bright boost, 4-band equalizer, gain of input and volume, effects loop and headphone jack.

UTILIZATION

It is easily the sound that suits the style of music you want to play, the rglages are effective as long as one is not a race. no need for manual, everything is clear: it is an amp, is a feeling in the RULES!

SOUNDS

Well then, that it has the will gte: we found the right sound, there was enthusiasm all week to snap good little improvisation in RPET and we surmotiv to push a little volume knob ... Unfortunately it was then that the amp does not follow, ds that we Exceeds 4 knob in volume, the sound is horrible, it loses its DEFINITIONS, drooling on her face. the amplifier saturates, the bowl 12 "motion across the slightest touch, it seems that if you bring this volume, the amp will explode. but I tell you, no need to go further, it does not dlivrera Dcibel 10 more than it dlivre 5.

OVERALL OPINION

IDAL is the amp to work home or apartment in low volume, effects loop is effective and the trs rglages. against by better prvoir a bigger combo or a head and cabinet set for RPET because this level is really not a!! I purchased this combo for 1 year and a half to two esemble a body in Hartke and I'm not mcontent my case, I was tired of being ridiculous BPS! is an exellent choice for the job but not for RPET and even less for the concerts. wise ...
