My local music store has one on sale for $360. I need to get a good go to backup instead of lugging my SVT3 and 410hlf to little bar gigs. Thoughts?

Peavey TNT 115 Tour
- Thread starter Fletz

Buy it.
I had an old one (130 wts???) that was my main gigging amp for a few years. I haven't seen the new ones, but I know a guy who has one and uses it solo in small gigs, and stacks it on top of another 1x15 in larger gigs. 600 wts should be plenty loud. He brags about it all the time. And, with Peavey's reputation for bullet-proof equipment, it should be a keeper.

If it's lighter than your current rig and you're going to use it for the smaller stuff go for it. Peavey is awesome. Great gigging equipment.
I just traded mine in last weekend for a Genz Benz shuttle combo. The tour is an awesome combo, but it is a little awkward because the handles are side mounted. It is a little on the heavy side too.
LOUD!!!
Even the old ones are loud.
The main reason you don't see much posted about the newer 600 wt TNT's is simply that they are a bit too new. They released much information about them, but they didn't release the amp itself until a few months ago.

I questioned a bassist on the HC forum who had one, and he had nothing but good things to say about it, one of which was that it was plenty loud.
I just picked up a new peavey tour tnt. It is a great amp with alot of volume and bottom end. I would recomend tightening the speaker and all screws and bolts before using it though. I think all equipment coming from the orient suffers from wood shrinkage when they hit our dry climate and found all the screws and bolts loose on mine but it only took 15 min. to solve that and it is now a superb amp.
Agreed, I've been hauling mine around and using a lightweight dolly which works pretty well but still a bit awkward due to the size/shape of the unit. In the process of building a custom roller case for it. Great amp though...very reliable after 6 mos....no issues
I used one for a couple years at a rehearsal. For a rock band we did not rehearse very loud and it was plenty. Not nearly loud enough for a medium sized gig in my opinion. They sound great. I've seen them on CL regularly for about $200. They would never keep up with a thrash metal band.
