75 lbs ... that is three drivers - the top speaker is a COAX, comes with door and casters like the 410. It should be available in 60 to 90 days.

Fred, you might want to post the weights of both cabs with and without the casters. Those are some nice, heavy duty wheels, and they definitely add to the weight. Personally, I don't plan on installing them, though, so that would make the cab lighter.

Good idea - you are probably right! Thanks will do.
The Trace 1200 has midi in and out. If you plug the amp into your computer using USB, does it extend the Midi interface all the way back through the USB port too?

It does not - the USB is audio out only.
The Ashdown has a more growls tone when engaging the preamp valve but the Trace gets really good punch and a great balanced EQ. I pretty much run things close to flat and I’m really digging the tone…then again I’m using the Darkglass onboard pre on most of my Spectors.
Looks like we’ll be getting a Bass Gear Magazine review of this rig pretty soon

I have curves for both of them someplace ...but the 4x10 will go to 36 but as most 4x10s are it is focused on the punch around 100hz.... curves can be deceptive though it sounds amazing. The 2X12 which we haven't officially launched yet - is probably my favorite bass cabinet of all time, and it is louder much lower, if that makes sense. The best is the combination of the two which is pretty much "holy poopie" territory! Hope that helps - I can get the curve if you want it.

Hmmmmm...do you know someone inside Peavey? Ver did you get dis iNformation? (said in a very thick german accent).
Wait what?
I don’t have any information LOL
i’m just asking because I’ve been using an old 1994 trace sm7EQ pedal
I actually started getting into electronics a bit. So I upgraded some electrolytic capacitors
And the two op amps to current ones
running it through a Crown xls poweramp
Into my Gk 412 or tranyor Canadian 412
I like the graphic Eq but like the simplicity of for knobs
But not Only that
a di with post/pre
Jensen?
Ground lift
Output (amp)
Line out
Input
True bypass?
That would be amazing!
But the reason I say this is the all in one solution is cool (like a fly rig , or plex)
but having another stand alone preamp/ pedal like the sans… is good idea I think Too besides I use polytune anyways
the separate comp could be cool too for running it in a chain
Like I’d put it behind my oc2
And after looking a block diagram for the smx eq pedal… I have to say it was designed very smart
how input splits off into a high pass and low pass And then comes back together
