Dood Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I've had a look at this 'ere amp in the past.. it sure is a beast. What I can remember is that the two poweramp modules are wired in parallel mono operation and, as suggested are rated at 600W each at a given impedance.

BigAlonBass Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 [quote name='geilerbass' post='270814' date='Aug 27 2008, 10:25 AM']I've had a similar problem with my AH350SMX. It's definitely the SMX 12 band pre-amp and clearly has a 350W power stage, but I can't find any information specific to it. There's the manual covering the AH300SMX and AH400SMX, but nothing on the 350. Weird.[/quote] Join the flipping club! I've had the same amp for the last 12 years, and in all that time, I haven't been able to find ANY information on it either. They don't exist, really.

Waldo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) [quote]I don't see these amps a lot, so it might be a very small series?[/quote] It was a small series due to the Gibson takeover and subsequent liquidation of the company. I had a chat with Andy Ewen, and ex-trace employee who was selling off old stock on ebay, here's what he had to say about them: [quote]Don’t buy an older AH1000! Not many were made and they were very unreliable; the output stages blew up regularly. The new one is excellent and doesn’t have much to do with Peavey; designed by my old colleague Paul Stevens from Trace who incidentally, was responsible for the second generation V4s & V8s. I did the first generation V4 & V6 but Paul’s V8 was probably one of the best bass amps ever made. Very few came out of the factory though as it was at the time Gibson were messing everything up.[/quote] Edited September 2, 2008 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel so alone in the world anymore... Seriously, I love the amp, but in terms of paperwork, it does appear to have been erased from history. Though I've seen one or two on ebay in the past.
