The IPR 1600 and 3000 are bridgeable. You have to build a special cable though. I bridged my IPR and never had a problem with it. I dont remember the actual wiring for it off the top of my head, but I can look it up if you are interested.

IPR 1600

- 1000W RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
- 600W RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
- 320W RMS x 1 at 8 ohms
- 900W RMS x 2 at 2 ohms
- 530W RMS x 2 at 4 ohms
- 300W RMS x 2 at 8 ohms
- 1600 RMS Bridged at 4 ohms
- 1060 RMS Bridged at 8 ohms

There should be wiring diagrams for the cable on the back of the amp or in the instruction manual. It's pretty easy to build the cable. The Speakon connectors open up and then it's just a matter of unscrewing one terminal and switching it to another. Should be no soldering required. I did it in about 2 minutes once I figured out what I needed to do.

No diagrams in the manual or on the amp, but the bridging was verified by peavey engineers.

Huh, that's unfortunate. Even behringer puts that info right on the amp.

There's one on ebay for $160. THe buy it now is $350, but there doesn't appear to be a reserve. Might be able to snag it for under 200.

Not sure if that was the model you were referring to, though...

The reason that I was given when I asked, is that they use the same case and manual for all the IPR amps. Only the 1600 and 3000 are bridgeable. To avoid confusion they did not include that information, they didnt want people using the bigger amps to fry them. The IPR line was structured to be the "budget" line. No bells and whistles. Virtually the same amp is packaged in the Crest ProLite series with the bridging option on the back.

oOooOoo DIS!

I need to tackle working on my old as dirt 15" emc bass combo amp soon. I tried to sell it this week on craigslist but no one was interested. It's way too heavy to ship because it's solid wood. What's stopping me from starting the project? The previous owner of the combo blew the speaker out and decided to remove the speaker AND (my favorite part) cut the speaker wires going to the amp. I no longer have contact with the original owner.

So now I have to figure out how to open up an amp from the 70s with little documentation, put in new speaker cables, and find a proper speaker to put inside. I don't even know what ohms I need. It has a speaker out on the back which I'm going to check tonight but I think it is labeled 8 ohm. I think my brain might hemorrhage.

Thanks. The miss didn't like it says it clashes. She likes the stock white one better. She has me rethinking it. May make a plain black one. Dan women and their mind control.

Crazy awesome idea... put a thin piece of acrylic with tiny color changing leds on top of the pedal housing. Attach a small sound activated sensor to the inside and randomize the colors that light up. I'm imaging this psychadelic crazy lightshow at my feet and it makes me smile.

Edit: You know, heavy electronics has a pedal called "red eyes"... just saying.

Edit#2: How about randomly shooting lazer pointers into the crowd from the pedal? LOL j/k... maybe...

That Akris band that was posted(good stuff btw) got me thinking with just bass and drums. Any of you know of any bands in this genre that the bassist uses an 8 string octave course bass?

I'm not aware of anyone who does it, but I've always wanted to do so myself.

band called Griefhound, guy uses a 12 string Dean or Hamer, sounds really cool live. never listened to their recordings, but live his tone was really interesting. he plays through this giant old Peavey PA speaker cab that he swapped all the speakers, and he has a ton of effects, no guitar either. definitely cool stuff.

Samsquanch1972 · #**316** 02-07-2013, 10:23 AM

I love playing them when I can get my hands on one and need to pick one up already. John Paul Jones solo album Zooma is chock full of 8, 10, and even 12 stings octave basses but guess that is not the right genre.

your love affair with delay is sparking my interest. whats a song you guys do where you can really hear the delay effect on your bass? i wanna check out some samples and make a decision on whether i want one.

it just adds a chorus effect, and with fuzz on you get this really cool shimmer kinda sound. i cant see anybody using one with a guitarist, but as a solo instrument with just drums it definitely works.

In Bongripper the most "classic" delay use that comes to mind is Charlie Burt Reynold has **** on you off Hippie Killer, pretty much most of that song has delay on it.

I use it all over the Roadburn live stuff, more in the sustained depth/textural way that I talk about. Also any huge sounding sub-drops (between songs is when they are most noticiable) are from me using the Moog delay with an expression pedal.
