Peavey Combo 300 Amp Line out

[jurberg]

I found a good deal on a Peavey Combo 300 nearby. It seems like a solid loud amp but one thing I'm unsure about is the line out. I don't see an XLR on it but it looks like it has a preamp out. How does one connect the 1/4" line out to a PA system?

My Mark IV had the same thing. I used a line transformer from Radioshack. Best solution is a DI box.

Hiya Ampslut..yeah I actually put in the MKIV part of the manual for the OP but removed it thinking the paste from the 300 Combo was a better tip. DI Box gets my vote too. I use a DBX DB10 Passive direct box.

I ponied up for a Radial JDI that cost as much as the amp. Money well-spent.

Nice looking DI box as well. My DBX cost about $96US ($125AU) to buy this year too..not cheap.

Back in the day I had one of those, sitting atop a matching 115BW cab, a potent little setup. Like all of the 'good' Peaveys from back then, it wasn't exactly a tone monster, buy My God, you could throw 'em down three flights of stairs and they'd go right on working. A shame those days are gone . . . .
