| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2009 Location: Houston, TX | | | Peavey TNT 115s question So I was at band practice tonight, and playing on my guitarist's Peavey combo. I leave my Ampeg at home when we jam over there because it's super heavy and there's no room in his practice space for it. Anyway, I seriously don't like the tone of his TNT, it's very muddy and weak on the mids. I know it's a 115 so that's what they do, but my Ampeg 115 has way more definition and punch.
So my question is, have any of you got any tips on how to work these Peaveys to make them more defined in the mix? Or perhaps, if I can't get the amp to sound how I want, does anyone have more creative ways to maybe finagle my amp a spot in his practice space? Thanks TBers!
By the way, we play country and rock and I use a MIM Jazz 4 string, if that helps.

A little boxy-sounding maybe, but the lows were good - and the mids were very good and very punchy for a 1x15. Try bumping up your low mids on the onboard EQ... Quote:

| Sure - play with the EQ. Start by disengaging the punch and contour switches, if you have them. Try boosting between 600 and 2000hz; first separately, then in combination. You should be able to find a tone good enough for practice. Quote:
