I have to try make a request. I know it will most likely be useless, but i have to try. Is there someone in this forum that is not using his old version Blower Box (3 knobs + volume knob on the top side) and is willing to part with it and sell it to me? I have a long bad-timing history with this...

I still didn't bring the head to a tech, but i PHONED a very good tech i know (and that helped me more than once in the past). I described him the situation, and he seems positive to say that it must be a faulty integrated circuit in the pre-amp section. He mentioned the TL082, but he was going...

OK, thanks to everyone! I'll definitely take it to a tech! I must say I'm pretty afraid of how much could be needed to fix this! I think that asking the seller for a partial refund is a fair thing, considering the prices of techs nowadays! And especially considering I specifically asked if it...

Hi BbbyBld! The issue takes place in both channels. But graphic does work, besides the volume drop. On both channels. The sound is kinda muddy though... I was wondering if not having the footswitch could be part of the problem...Without the footswitch, both channels are always on, and i wonder...

Hello! I recently got a nice Peavey mk IV head to finally match with my Peavey 2x15 cabinet. The head is in fully working conditions, but the behaviour of the graphic eq puzzles me! It works good too, but when engaged it causes a HUGE loss of volume! It goes down to less than half or even...

I don't think Peavey ever used Cerwin Vega for the 215BW cabinet... Looks like yours is just like mine: a franken-cab! :P

Some time passed. Got a second EVM 15 L speaker, and also a Peavey Black Widow 1502 in great shape, with original aluminium dome. Thoroughly compared the EVM15L with the BW1502. I must say that the ElectroVoice is really superior! A richer and fuller tone, more punch, and much more high...

Yeah that's the way it should be done...of course, by someone experienced!

the guy said he also has an aluminium cap, and that he could glue it on the painted cap, but that really doesn't sound right to my ears...

@ billfitzmaurice: yup! @ Oren: the guy of the painted BW answered. The speaker is original (I mean, there's the aluminium dome under the paint). At this point it's a bit a dilemma. I would have an original BW 1502, but that black paint is unwatchable! And I'm afraid that in order to restore it...

So, lower driver probably an SRO, upper most probably an EV15L (like said in previous answers). Top is the better sounding one, for sure! In theory it should be easier to find one EV15L than a pair of BW 1502's, but you never know with vintage gear...I'll just have to be patient! @ will33: yes...

@ Oren: thank you so much! :-) Contacted both. The one of the painted dome didn't answer. Other answered but seems not willing to ship. I'm used to that...people on CL rarely wants to ship! I'll try to insist a bit, and if can't get anything out of it, I'll just keep looking! I tell you...as...

Mh, not a big fan of neo speakers! I tried a few of them, but they never got me convinced. In case of Eminence, I think I would stick to Legends. I am maybe old, but I still think that weight plays an important role when it comes to bass speakers! About the BW on CL, Oren, yes please, if you...

Do Eminence Legend CB15 speakers go towards my "requirements" in bass tone, in your opinion?

@ fu22ba55: good to know EV15L speakers are not that rare! I'll definitely keep an eye around for them. I do like very much the sound of the one in my cabinet! If I found another one and get rid of the bottom speaker, I guess that would be the cheapest solution, and the sound would be awesome...
