Plug this flexible, compact 1000-watt amp head into a matching Headliner cabinet to get bass tone huge enough to fill the largest rooms and stadiums around.

World-renowned musical instrument and audio equipment manufacturer Peavey Electronics is proud to unveil the Headliner 1000, a new 1000 Watt rack-mountable bass amplifier head. With matching enclosures, the Headliner 1000 packs huge power and innovative tone features in a lightweight 10 lb. package.

The Peavey Headliner 1000 features a seven-band graphic EQ spaced at optimized frequencies, with each slider providing 15 dB of cut and boost to provide comprehensive tone shaping frequencies optimized for bass guitar. Players can use the graphic EQ in conjunction with the low and high shelving-type tone controls or bypass the graphic EQ entirely. A built-in optical Compressor with level control and bypass allows players to add just the right amount of compression to the mix.

The Crunch feature adds a vintage tube effect that distorts only the high frequencies, preserving the all-important fat low end. The amp also features Bright and Contour switches, an effects loop, master volume and headphone out. The Compressor and Crunch features are footswitch selectable. The Headliner features a built-in XLR direct interface that routes the signal to the house sound system or recording device, and an active/passive pickup switch that compensates for active instrument inputs.

Peavey's exclusive DDT(TM) speaker protection circuitry senses the onset of clipping and responds with slight limiting that allows the amp to retain the tone, headroom and dynamics (bypass included). Designed to read more match the Headliner 1000 amplifier, the Peavey Headliner 410, Headliner 210, Headliner 115, and Headliner 1516 bass enclosures are made with premium loudspeakers and components for superior punch tone and reliability. read less

Bought this head new from zZounds about a year and a half ago, and its been nothing but reliable and dependable, and plenty loud. the sound quality is pretty good too for the price point. I tend to run a bass preamp/DI in the front with the gain knob around 3 or 4 on the amp, so i can blend in a nice clean sound with just a touch of bite blended in on top. Even without a preamp in front, you get a bright, contour, and crunch switch, a compressor, and a 7 band EQ, your tone shaping possibilities are endless. I will say though, im not a huge fan of the on board compressor, it seems to start to really squish the sound and make it sound eh on anything above 5. that may not be a problem for you, but the style i play usually requires the bass to be pretty compressed. My only real complaint is that i wish there were 2 speakon outputs on the back instead of just the one. i run 2 peavey headliner 4x10s with this head, and a few times have lost sound completely because the 1/4" input in the cab had disconnected itself because it couldn't handle the power. A 1/4" to speakon cable fixed the problem, but it wouldn't be a bad option to have for the sake of consistency. Overall its not a huge deal, but a second speakon jack at least on the cab would be nice.Overall if your a gigging or touring musician looking for something dependable, good sounding, and relatively affordable, i would definitely recommend this amp. its not on the same level as an Ampeg SVT, Fender Bassman, or Darkglass Microtubes,but read more it can get you through any gig with a little tweaking and without dropping $1k + on an amp.
