Peavey MiniMega 1000

[BbbyBld]

Does anyone have a link to a photo of the optional foot switch and what does it control?

Check out the footswitch for the Butcher amp Invalid Link Removed. The MM footswitch is the same, but with different printing. It controls crunch, compressor, kosmos, fx loop, and mute.

I'd be interested, but all those lights would drive me crazy after awhile. Can they be switched off ?

The brightness is adjustable, and certain sections can be turned off. Some lights are used as indicators, so those can't be turned completely off. To me, the best thing to do for an understated look is to set the color to white and set the brightness to minimum.

Here you go; Tom from Bass Gear Magazine posted this earlier:

Finally getting some of our NAMM videos up on the Bass Gear Magazine YouTube channel. Here's the MiniMega video.

Can't wait for this head!

I want to hear more audio on this one, although thats the first video I actually heard it

Would be interested to know if the Mini Mega will be 2 ohms stable.

From everything I have read it will not be.

I believe Bobby confirmed this; he had a technical reason why. Here's what the back panel says:

SPEAKER JACKS PARALLELED
4 Ω MIN 63.2V RMS
1000W RMS 4 OHMS

Coincidentally, I tried running it at 2 ohms yesterday to see what happened because I have been adjusting the over current protection. It worked for a little while, but started cutting out--as it should. I also had a friend short the output several times times with a screwdriver while I was playing, which makes it go into protect immediately.

Good job on the ground lift. My MB212's lack of ground lift is an annoyance to me. I can't wait to get a MiniMega!

You call someone who "shorts the output while you're playing" ....a "friend?"

 

[BassikLee]

Maybe the friend didn't like Bobby's playing....

I'm in line for one of these heads, too

I would have to be pretty good friends with someone to stick a screw driver across the terminals of a 1000 watt amp so that they can see what happens.

Hell I'd do it to a mini mega for a mini Mega.

But what would you do for a klondike bar?

 

[mbelue]

Probably, you could even have the Klondike bar.

 

[BassikLee]

Does the Klondike have an onboard tuner?

I really don't get the need for an onboard tuner. The accuracy and flexibility of any built in tuner is only equal that of the cheapest separate available. Just get you a snark and be done.

 

[BassikLee]

I was kidding, Klondike bar....

Yup

Personally I am glad they didnt make the amp 2 Ohm stable, unless they were going to bump up the wattage. IMHO the Carvin B1000 is a flop only being 600 watts at 4 Ohms.

Agreed
