Peavey

collapse expand iconDescription

Featuring the rock solid construction for which Peavey is known, the MiniMAX is built to withstand years of rigorous touring use. The convenient back panel of the amplifier has all the connectivity necessary to patch in effects or connect to a sound reinforcement system. With DDT speaker protection and Peavey's exclusive psycho-acoustic low-end enhancement that adds bass without overburdening speakers, the MiniMAX contains an impressive set of features and is available at a price accessible to today's working bassist.

The 500-watt MiniMAX is capable of a huge array of tones and is adaptable to any live or studio setting. A 3-band EQ with Punch, Mid-shift and Bright controls provides a multitude of tone-shaping options, while the built-in chromatic tuner allows for easy tuning on the fly. In addition, the MiniMAX pre-gain control with TransTube gain boost adds a tubelike crunch to the sound.

The MiniMAX can be paired with Peavey's Headliner or PVH series of bass enclosures to complete a reliable, ultralightweight professional bass system (sold separately).

    I was surprised when the package was delivered since it had been on backorder for months. I played it at church and on at a sizeable venue. It gave me plenty of power with the gain between 10 -11 oclock and volume at 12 oclock. The fan is noticeable, especially when practicing in a quieter home environment, but an issue when playing live. So far, it's a good bang for the bucks!
