Mr.Tango Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi everyone, I bought a Peavey Tour 700 two weeks ago after checking one out at my local music shop. At first I was just interested in the sound (of course) then the functionality then connectivity, all of which the Tour 700 passed hands down! The problem started after I read the manual, yep sorry guys I read the manual first Whilst looking through the manual I read about the Kosmos B Function, "wow" I thought, give me some of that. So I hooked up the cabs to the amp, tuned up and stated to have a play. It got to the point where I thought I would try out the Kosmos B button to see how it performed. At first it seemed to work great but then I noticed that after a single note was played I would get a kind of interference causing almost random sounds would be generated! Has anyone got any advise on this issue please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The Kosmos B is a sub harmonic generator? Was the single note you palyed a low one? Because it sounds like you are hearing the octaver fail to track, they are intended for keeping the low in when you play high stuff, rather than adding silly sub lows. If they can't decide on the low not, they might start trying to play octaves of harmonics of that note instead. You might find it tracks better if you roll the tone off and use the neck pickup.

Stan_da_man Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi Mr Tango, I have the Tour 450, and I get the same thing with the Kosmos B. It only really works with high, individual notes has it tracks better - playing low or multiple notes gets that weird sound but at least you can turn it off! Congrats too on a good choice of head.

Mr.Tango Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi Guys, Thanks for your input During rehearsals yesterday I did some tests and it would appear that you had it nailed. Low notes I was getting this effect, high notes were fine. I just wanted to chat with the local sperm whales you see On another note, I was getting a very interesting effect whilst at the rehearsal yesterday, whilst playing a B note, not only did my vision stop working, the fluorescent lights in the studio would go out whilst the B was being played, then come back on with other notes awesome! Stan_da_man, you are correct, a good choice of amp! Thanks again guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Resonant light sockets give an awesome effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
