NAD: Peavey MiniMega 1000!

Post EQ. The Kosmos bass enhancement stuff is running on a separate parallel signal path with most of the preamp, and it mixes back in right before the loop. The aux in path and master volume are right after the loop.

Do you know the frequency centers for the low and high shelving controls? (Especially interested in the treble control as we all know bass is all about treble :)

He said shelving... The low & high, not the mids. :)

Manual says below 200Hz and above 3.2KHz, which is right where those parametrics leave off. Not sure how exact that is, but that's what it says.

Still waiting on my vendor to tell me mine is on the way.

My biggest question... Is the aux-in in headphones output only, or in the main output too? (Prefer the latter, cuz I'm weird I guess.)

These numbers will seem unorthodox, but this amp has an unusual EQ for a bass amp since it was inspired by a Crest CV-20 mixing console EQ. I wanted to go for a more "refined" sound with this amp because I was hoping to break away from some Peavey stereotypes, so I had my reasons for doing it this way, most importantly, I just thought it sounded good. Anyway, enough disclaimer:

Low shelf center = 34Hz
Low shelf -3dB corner = 80Hz

High shelf center = 16KHz
High shelf -3dB corner = 2.4KHz

Sweet! The high EQ format in my DIY stuff is on that page in some ways (but a little higher), and the way you spec'ed the top and bottom with two numbers makes a lot more sense than a lot of how I see it done.

It is a fantastic sounding amp Bobby!

I may have noticed that too. ;)

Julian, can we see it with your Voodoo, also matching.

YES!!!!

Finally, somebody understands that people might actually want to hear a backing track while practicing (or whatever), without being forced to have cans on their head. One could even do a simple solo performance that way.
I can finally stop dinking around with a mini-mixer and small mess of junk (power supply & cables), just to get a backing track between my preamp & power amp, to play through *actual speakers* WITHOUT cords tied to my head. (So many of the micros restrict the aux-in like that.)

Hallelujah, thank you Bobby!

I've been waiting for this one - should be good with a F112, no? I've been using my Carvin BX1600 bridged, but a micro high watt head like this is the ticket because it will sit nicely on top of the F112 in the upright position - nice mini rig me thinks / hopes.

Zzounds is saying 1/25/16 - anyone know if that's the official date or are they in stock somewhere?

Yea I'm interested in this as well since I have a fearless F112. Wonder what kind of real world power it puts out at 8 ohms. It's starting to grow on me; I may have to pick one up and compare to my Markbass SD1200.
