Peavey Tour 700 Bass Amplifier Head (700 Watts)

No longer available at zZounds
This Peavey Tour series amp head features a 9 band graphic EQ, the innovative Kosmos B technology, and much more.

The Peavey Tour(tm) series features class A/B power amplifiers with patented SmartRail(tm) and DDT(tm) technologies. This technology gives these amps massive dynamic power in a lightweight package, without introducing any switching distortion or delay. Each amp features DC protection, an efficient parallel cooling system and a two-speed cooling fan. But that's not all. These amps contain a Kosmos B Sub harmonic Generator which allows the user to synthesize a note one full octave below the note you are playing. Wrap all this up with a constant Q, 9-band, graphic equalizer and the Peavey reputation for quality, and you couldn't ask for anything else.

"Peavey Tour 700"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I quit playing bass 35 years ago to focus on guitar, and these past years have been good. I recently joined a heavy blues/rock band called The Woodpeckers as their bass player and I had to "rig up." My cabinet is a USA-made 4x10 Ampeg unit, and my amp is a Tour 700. In fact, I bought two of them within two days. One worked great -- sounds great, plenty of headroom, more features than I need -- shakes the house cleanly! The second one would cut out under full load after about 10 minutes, and then come back on again after several seconds. I figured a thermal overload (for which Peavey provides protection) but didn't know why. My local tech examined the amp and discovered that the fan is a two-stage unit, which kicks into overdrive under heavy load. For some reason, the second stage of the cooling fan wasn't working -- a problem that my tech took care of working with Peavey. Now, they both work perfectly and the amp kicks ass. This amp is a helluva bargain for players that want plenty of power and features. I'm not a huge fan of Peavey guitar amps, but their bass amps are great values. Go to The Woodpeckers on Facebook!
