[color="#0000FF"][b]Ok, as of 23/5/10, these are now back up for sale. Finished the bigger gigs I was doing. [/b][/color]

I am doing smaller gigs these days and have moved to a micro amp setup, so am selling off the incredibly powered rack I already have. Everything is in good working order, and has served me very well indeed.

The power amp is a Peavey DPC 1400X (a class D digital power amp), which puts out up to 1400W bridged into 4 ohms/1000W into 8 ohms, or in stereo mode each of the two channels can independently power 700W into 2 ohms, 525W into 4 ohms, or 325W into 8 ophms. 1 rackspace, 15 lbs. Original Bass Player review can be seen at [url="http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/reviews/00350750_4.pdf"]http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/re.../00350750_4.pdf[/url]. The manual is at [url="http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/reviews/00350750_4.pdf"]http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/re.../00350750_4.pdf[/url]. This is a seriously powerful bit of kit which has seen me happily through gigs powering my Acme B2. If you don't want to use it to power your rig, you can always use it as a PA amp (the original intention, I think, for this design). They're pretty scarce; I had to wait a few years before I could lay my hands on one of these on eBay. Given the number of responses I had that nearly bit my hand off, I have re-listed the amp. [color="#2E8B57"][b]SOLD.

The preamp is the Peavey Max Bass preamp, again a fairly rare item these days. I bought it originally in the USA many years back and had it converted to UK voltage by Peavey UK. It has served me faithfully ever since. It's a nice pre, with both solid state and tube preamps, both with independent EQ's (solid state = graphic EQ, tube = 3 band EQ) and the ability to blend between them. The tube preamp does the tube grind thing very well indeed. It also has a DI, and lots of other features. The owner's manual is the best place to see all of them, and can be found at [url="http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/maxbass.pdf"]http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/maxbass.pdf[/url]. [color="#2E8B57"][b]SOLD. [/b][/color]

You couldn't drop him a line for me, could you? Feels a bit OTT to me to PM him and say 'buy mine'!

Wouldn't have been a problem bud. Bad timing unfortunately as cash is a bit tight right now. Unless you'd consider a PX deal on a TNT160?

Hello all,

I'm sorry to say I've had to withdraw the amp and the preamp for the moment. My drummer has told me today he has organised some bigger gigs for us with bigger backline requirements, and it looks like the extra power will actually be needed after all. I will re-list the rack again though in another month and a half, after I've finished.

My apologies. It certainly seems to have garnered some interest anyway...

No worries, just remember I have first dibs... :)

Seriously though, there seem to be a few available in the US from what I can see. So with a bit of soldering to sort the voltage taps out on the transformer...[/quote]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
Do they have a Voltage Tapped transformer in them CK or is it a step-down "brick"?

The user manual lists 120v as the voltage requirement for the English version and 240v for European languages. So I'm guessing the transformer can be tapped for either as it wouldn't be cost effective for Peavey to build units using single voltage transformers.

I'm out of the running on this now as I refuse to pay twice the price it was originally pre-sold to me at....

However, if the seller would care to honour the (e-mail) contract that we made when I agreed to buy this item at it's original price a few weeks ago.... then consider it sold again .... :)

No problem, Gary.

I pulled out my original receipts, and realised I had paid a good deal more than I originally advertised it for. Hence, after finishing using it for the gigs I needed it for, the re-listing and price.

Back open to others, then.
