    Quite satisfactory.

    Amp transistor. An active / passive input, XLR line output, an effects loop. It is given for 75w rms. The Peavey w, in general, they are there, where others would show 120w ...
    Switches: bright / contour / active-passive / eq in-out / preventing distortion in-out

    Two cut-boost low and high + 7 equal strips (I think, I do not use it ...). Preamp volume and master volume.

    UTILIZATION

    This is could not be more simple. That said, I'm not special corrections, operating directly on my bass. I leave everything "right" and the sound is really powerful and well defined (I use the contour dig a little sound). This is exactly the sound I was hoping, full and clear both.

    SOUNDS

    It is very suitable for my rehearsals with a drummer and a guitarist. The latter plays a Peavey all high-end lamps (60w) and my little combo holds up. I play 4 and its going very well. It must be said, however, that my bass (Yamaha BBG5A) is quite generous in terms of big sound. I love the combination of these two. The amp is 90 degrees to the drummer and he hears exactly what is happening. I use no effects, no fireworks and I only adjust the sound on bass. I do not hate anything with him, I know this kind of small combo which should not ask for the moon, and I'm used to Peavey. In the 80s, I plugged my synths on KB300! What fish and how strong!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use recently. I previously played on a lot of combos: Nemesis 200w, 120w Laney, Ampeg BR100, Hartke 100w, 200w bass Ampeg Rocket (one made in China that scorched if débranchait tweeter ... damn!). And quite frankly, I've never felt better with an amp. I love this little TKO. Used and having hardly served at a reasonable price, I'm satisfied. His replacement beefier for larger rooms will naturally Peavey and it will be a cool retreat at home. But this is not for tomorrow and I'm sure he'll be up.

    This was my first bass amp. Peavey has made the TKO for awhile. It was a staple in their bass combo line.

    Mine was 80 watts with a green stripe on the back plate which I believe means it is from the mid 90s. It had the 15' deep Black Widow Speaker.

    My father gave it to me. I was 15 and started playing in bands. It worked out well. This amp probably saw 3-5 years of solid practicing and gigging. Knew I think they were about $400.


    The graphic EQ. I'm going to guess it was a 10 band. I know it was at least 7. It also had a high and low boost. Pre and Post volumes. Headphone out and effects loop. Inputs for active of passive basses.

    It was a beast to carry. There was no DI out and also there was no additional speaker out.

    Built tough. I used this thing hard. My bonehead singer was mad at me and damaged the EQ sliders and ripped off a knob. It was painful to see such a cruel thing happen to the indestructible Peaveys.

    Loud, clean and reliable! Not much more you want in a bass amp.

    I got this amp at a local store for $500


    I think its a decent amp
    it is a good amp to start off with


    the really low end bass(like open B-string on 5-string bass) won't pass through the amp very well at higher volume levels/the speaker starts to rattle and the speaker protection would come on probably more than it really needed to.

    it is rather big for a 100 watt amp

    it was really hard to use in larger rooms, especially when i was playing with a loud group
    pretty costly for a starting amp


    the amp was literally thrown together

    the negative things about this amp seem to have outweighed the positive things so i would say stick with SWR or Gallien-Krueger

    I, unwanted with an Ibanez SR405 5 string with active Micos (High Gain input) or a Yamaha 4-string with passive pickups (Low Gain input). The sound is not really typed (transistor), it remains very neutral. The amp is powerful enough, I've seen him walking on his own when the volume was 9-10 (Long ago when I played violent stuff ...). We keep the same sound regardless of volume level (no saturation) very thoroughly! The switch "bright" makes a bit of boost / overdrive treble which brings us very quickly to his dirty and filthy well.

    The soundscapes are broad with this amp which makes it very versatile.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used this amp from time to time for 17 years, he has never failed. I am not disappointed with my purchase. I'm pretty guitar so I've never really sought to invest in a tube amp for the bass ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this amp for almost a year with low ARIA PRO II.
    Marshall amps I tried before I DCID. I found the sound of PEAVEY more "deep" but it is a question of Marshall got the trs are also good amps.

    I would do this choice is a good amp trs.
    It allows you to have fun with his power and playing in groups.

    For the price, I bought the Aria Pro II and a particular TKO 350 EUROS all. The person who played hard in a group acqurir wanted a more powerful amp to play in a concert hall.

    key active / passive is used to adjust the power of the sound without changing the settings toutefpois
    you can get a fat or a funky sound THERE no complaints to make this the point of view.
    Obviously this is n q a maximum hp 100w and saturates quickly (you still have to play hard) but I must admit that this little saturation (that you can reach a delete) I pleasantly surprised because it gives her a fat . some may be put off by this small detail, but suffice it to adjust the sound a little more acute and the HP does not saturate

    SOUNDS

    Playing the grind core sound Grung fat suits me perfectly. my bass n being the best but surely one of the several rotten (c is a Stanberry) j arrive get a powerful sound.
    j uses the bright and the one that does not contour the sound for an aggressive
    Then you have to do the rest with the equalizer

    OVERALL OPINION

    J uses this amp since the summer 2003 and I'm really enchanted al idea of ​​having to buy
    the equalizer settings and many of LHP 15 inches! are the main features of this amp
    Obviously this is n q a 80/100 watts and therefore it does not play dirty in huge but we do not all Apelles s nirvana ...
    compared this amp is more powerful than the Laney 120w I've also tested the
    for a price ranging between 550 and 600 euro (I have paid the 530 euro Ahahahaha) peavey offers probably one of the best power amp for such a price more affordable q
    ps: it is manufactured in the UK and not in Asia

    I see what it is crystalline but I guess it is the precise sound, and fat so as you can get it, the eQ and the two knobs bass and treble you can have all the frequencies
    I have not the inverse of V EQ (+ med) and I do not like playing with the''normal''contour''''I prefer because it is much more powerful
    to slap him too bad there's no tweeter acute Sometimes it goes through (a high volume) but sounds''felt''it goes nickel

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have since I started low (3 or 4 years)
    I love all his power and affordable price! I like less the weight is very heavy (compared to a rumble 100W) + but solid!
    I've tried a lot and that my boots, though I have a rumble 100W hesitate
    The report price is right qualitée

    I do not know because now the fender rumble 100 watt equivalent good and then there's a tweeter that did not TKO, finally it is solid and has enjoyed an equalization so I know too much, it's between 2 and the peavey is reliable

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used for about 4 years and I do not regret this purchase at all. It is reliable and efficient. J'apprciais particulirement its versatility and ease of use. For a combo, he dfend trs well and the report is qualitprix qu'honnte.

    It is very well to begin with (and persvrer!) Group. APRS, well-sr, it can s'avrer limit when moving in suprieur, and for that I chang guitarists are from two two double body combos Marshall Mesa / Boogie Triple correction, and my poor TKO over 115 n'tait level (both in terms of power and in terms of sound quality)! But it took me a long time to change, as what he dfendait trs well. TRS is a good combo!
    Ah yes, I must add that it is-even when trs heavy, and with Peavey, the wheels and grips latrales must be expensive since it possde that a central grip: it is better to be tough, motivated or tmraire ... and then have a nice and muscular drummer! ;) But the game is worth it!

    it's the same every time, its dnature the sound of the instrument ...
    So if you have a REALLY low base, it is his amliore sound. If you have a good bass, well it's not right, dnature its sound to fall roughly on the sound of the instrument of shit pr-cit.
    Personally, I find it super dull, with no DEFINITIONS. If you play bass in a group of death-thrash-metal-hard-merger, its not Dranger ... If you want your sound is rat ... Even with the slap sounds muffled ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    Amplifier used for 3 years. Sold for a Hartke. For me even a Roland Cube 30 or Bereinger (ortho?) Sounds 100 times better.
    On a positive note, he spits a 75W. Ngatif point, if you want the bass and you really like this tool, you find another amp ...
    Try it and you will see, it's just me eh

    I dislike:
    - His weight! two small transport grips on the top right and ct do not inspire confidence. I had one with wheels, including a break ... Return the box dpart
    - The sound comes out. I think this is also its main default

    APRS good I will not talk about qualitprix, he told me by my t prt School of Music.
