Peavey TKO 115 S

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello all
I'm looking at trading my amp for a Peavey TKO 115 S. I've read mixed reviews and I wanted to see what the general consensus was on the forums.
I'm currently playing a Fender Jazz through a Fender Bassman 250 Head and a Marshall MBC115 Cab. My current set-up is just too much for me to transport from church and home and set-up at both locations, and someone offered to trade me their TKO for my set-up.
Any help is appreciated! Or if you have another recommended combo amp out there I'm open to suggestions!

I don't know anything about your set up, but I've been playing my friends Peavey TKO 115, and now I'm considering buying it from him. I now a Behringer combo which is smaller, but the Peavey weighs less. also I love the built in EQ and bright and contour buttons, I was finally able to find the tone I was looking for with this amp. But I wouldn't pay any more than $180 used for it. I've seen them even cheaper online, so if your rig is more expensive I might consider holding out for something better.

What's your budget? If the primary goal is to get something that's more easily transportable while providing good tone, there may be better options out there.

Yeah I kinda figured that it would be an 'unfair' swap, my rig was about $900 brand new, I've only had it for a year and not used it too much.
My problem is that I'm having a really tough time selling my Fender/Marshall set up.
My budget is gonna be around $600, maybe a little more. I need a pretty loud amp, with a line out, and something that I can use to really change the sound.

i still have my Peavey TKO from when I was in high school. I can get a wonderful overdriven bass tone out of it that I haven't been able to get out of any amp since.
