Peavey MiniMega 1000

[monkeyfinger]

As an engineer, I've learned to not get too attached to my work. What happens when it leaves my hands often confounds me.

 

[thudfromafar]

They would have sold a lot more if it came out a year or two ago. Lesson learned, hopefully.

I will get a Mesa Subway D-800 as they are truly available.NOW.

While I empathize with sentiments of patient posters here, I also imagine a deep woe felt by Peavey mm1k engineers/developers, as precious time passes and the market landscape changes, in circumstances beyond their control.

Since I still see threads every day debating class D performance vs whatever, I don't think the market landscape has changed. On the contrary, I think it's as ripe as ever.

I agree. If this amp 'delivers' I think there's still plenty of interest.

I no longer see this or any other Peavey amp on musiciansfriend.com. Did they drop the Peavey line?

Those links work. If they're current, there must be something wrong with MF's search engine.

The MiniMega is bunched in with the "tube bass heads"???

The minimega link was from a Google search, the peavey link was from just searching for "peavey" on mf.

 

[Bob Coldwell]

Typing "Peavey" on MF's search space takes me to an ad. When I click "shop now" it says "results: 0", or whatever. Similar result when typing "Peavey miniMEGA". In "search by brand" pull-down menu, Peavey is not listed.

Just sayin' ...

 

[ebozzz]

I was able to navigate to the Peavey bass amps. Didn't use the search function. Just the menu. Four heads are listed. Mega, Max, Headliner and Tour 700.

 

[Bob Coldwell]

Hmm. That didn't work for me.

 

[Bob Coldwell]

Okay, here's the deal:

Somehow, one of the options on the page got switched to "ship to Canada". I had noticed my search results said "does not ship to Canada", and more recently saw that prices were posted in Canadian dollars (for some non-Peavey stuff).

So, my oversight. Still don't know how it got switched. MiniMEGA is back. Well, except that it's not available yet.

Thanks, guys.

The point of my original statement was not regarding change of class-D landscape.

It is a larger sentiment regarding greater supply of competitive alternative amp choices that potentially dilute the demand for the Peavey amp. For example, Peavey may have lost many potential customers due to

1) New Mesa and Ampeg offerings

2) Existing, readily available, time- and gig-tested, and popular offerings of Aguilar and GK, as well as numerous less popular or obscure brands

3) Amps ready to be released in the market such as Genzler

4) Great values in used amps now available for sale due to a availability of new releases above

The landscape of competitive offerings has changed dramatically while many interested potential purchasers have waited for hypothetical Peavey supply and availability. It's likely an accounting/marketing/corporate/QC issue, as opposed to engineering/development, which is why empathy for the pain of patiently waiting customers is also extended to engineers/developers.

@BbbyBld another question if you don't mind.
You mentioned before the module that the Minimega is powered by will be used in other Peavey products.
Have any of these other products been released to market?
If so, can you name the product lines?

 

[old spice]

This is really the "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" thread, isn't it?

 

[mbelue]

No angels here.
Only damned souls in limbo.

 

[ebozzz]

No angels here.
Only damned souls in limbo.

About to get to Heaven soon though. Hopefully.........
