For sale FS: Peavey Max Preamp..Pic added

can these be overdriven? i'm interested...i've even got a sweet peavey 8.5C stereo poweramp to mate it up with

i never really tried to overdrive it. it does have a pre and post gain. max out the pre gain and control the output with ther post gain. variable crossover with low/hi and full range outs. xlr DI

here`s some more info on it

* 2-channel, tube/solid state bass preamp
* Input jack with -10 dB pad switch
* Channel active LED indicators
* Pre and post gain controls on each channel
* Tube channel with one 12AX7 tube
* Low,mid, and high EQ controls with punch and bright switches
* Solid state channel with 7-band graphic EQ and active low and high shelving EQs
* Footswitchable channel select switch
* Footswitchable channel combine switch with blend control for mixing tube and solid state channels
* Crossover variable from 100 Hz to 1 kHz with frequency and balance controls
* Footswitchable post-EQ FX loop
* Full-range, high and low outputs
* Frequency compensated balanced and unbalanced direct out with pre/post-EQ switch
* Single rack space
* Internal power supply (no wall wart)

can i possibly link this up to an ampeg b2 ss head and uset he ampeg as a power amp and the peavey as a pre?

not familiar with the ampeg...but if it has a power amp in...i don`t see why not. it drives my QSC RMX 850 to clip easily

I've got this pre- and like it a lot. Lots of tonal options. Indeed both sides can be overdriven, but especially the tube side is fairly nice. Note I didn't *love* the overdriven tone i got, but I think that's as much because I didn't search very long to optimize. Of course, it's not the same as a having a tube power amp, but it depends what you're after. I wanted something slight and got it.

Regardless, I REALLY like the ability to have both tube and solid state, and to blend the two. If you have (or can get) the footswitch to switch between the two (and I presume, between the blend of the two) it'd be really sweet.

I had one of these a while back, and kinda sorry I got rid of it. I just wasn't using it at the time, but now I've got a Yamaha P4500 I could pair it up with. Oh well.

The tube / SS switchable and mixable feature is very cool. I got hooked on it and that feature was key to my purchase of Genz Benz heads later on.
