Peavey IPR1600?

[B-string]

The story is I am about to pull the trigger tomorrow on a pair for my PA. While this will allow me to send bass to the board, I use an amp head and cab so I didn't post in the amp forum (right place?).
Any warnings I should be aware of? Time to get the 70lbs of iron out of the PA rack! Thanks for any responses!

They are too new for many reviews as far as durability etc. From what I have read on the internet there is alot of interest so if they hold up then Peavey has a winner for sure.

Thanks for that! I'll have 60 days to decide on keeping them and a lot of gigs in the next 60 days. I just dug up the reciepts on my old irons.... they were old enough to vote in the last election!

I've had one in my bass rack for the last few months (I got impatient and bought one as soon as they came out) and it has served me well so far. My only complaint is that it seems like Peavey was a touch optimistic in their power ratings on this. It seems like I'm running into the built-in limiter sooner than I would expect. Other than that, it seems like a quality piece. They're so light that they almost feel cheap, but mine seems pretty solid thus far.

Right after I bought mine, I A/Bed it with an EV Precision 1200, which costs a LOT more. The EV was a little more open sounding, and had a touch more punchiness in the deep lows, but the IPR sounded really good considering it's only a $300 amp.

Thanks! I did notice the more realistic ratings in the manual last night. I'll still get a power boost over my old iron, so here goes........
