Peavy TNT 100

Traded some vinyl for this guy today. Sounds pretty good!

Is that the 45 watter? I think the rear panel had 115ss or 100ss on it. I started with one back in the late 70's when I got my T-40.

I have one I fixed up for a friend, nice punchy little amp.

Add some casters and line the interior with a little acoustic foam or polyfill, really helps with the mids on that thing.

Looks like mine!

 

[lucathakid]

I'd love to add some casters to it the things heavy as ****. Apparently someone did judging from the holes on the bottom of the cab. Sounds so much better than my acoustic b100

 

[majortoby]

Yeah, it weighs a ton and sucks to move, but it's got a certain sound to it that I just can't quite cop elsewhere...

That is my 1st bass amp when I started learning and Yes I bought it new. Definately a heavy SOB, but it always sounded good. Played thru one a couple years ago for the 1st time in years, still sounded good and was still a heavy SOB.

Very Cool!

exploite im not sure how many watts it is, i thought it was 100, its def louder than the the acoustic b100,

 

[Jtaing562]

Congrats! I was actually considering an acoustic b100. How much did you buy the the Peavey for? Was it used or new?

 

[TinIndian]

The TNT100 was made in the late 70's, possibly as late as the early 80's. It was superseeded by the TNT115 sometime around 80 or 81 if I remember right.

 

[lucathakid]

They peavy is def used. I traded a guy a bunch of records for it. No cash. I had doubles of most of the records anyway. The b100 is pretty cool. Sounds good to me but I like how the peavy sounds better. It has more balls.

My first amp was a late '70s TNT100. Thing sounded great. I was ust getting ready to have it recovered when it died. I ended up donating it to a local trade school's electronic shop.

Mine was heavy too. I often lugged that thing up and down several flights of stairs in my college dorm and now completely understand the popularity of micro amps and light weight cabs.

 

[lucathakid]

This things def been around a while by the looks of it. Thinking if maybe masking off the metal and electric components and doing a once over with a can of black.

The tolex on the old Peaveys usually cleans up pretty good, but it requires a scrub brush with the deep graining they used. A little steel wool will clean up cab corners if they are pitted. I have that amp's little brother, a TKO 80, I ported the cab and it is unbelievable how much it woke up that amp. I have nothing against sealed cabs, but those old Peavey's had pretty low-volume enclosures that really seem to work against the speaker at lower frequencies. But that's a cool old amp, enjoy!

 

[Slevage]

Equipment has come a long way.

I had one of those TNT's in high school. I used it for jazz band concerts and weekend trio gigs for "old folks" (you know, the people over 35 or 40). LOL

That amp was a lot lighter than my 360.


Wish I still had the 360, the TNT---no.

 

[gastric]

Most of these have a Power Amp In jack. Good for running amp sims into for practicing, and often sound better than the Peavey preamps.

 

[lucathakid]

Yeah misty I tried goin at it with a rough sponge scrubber. It looked like it cleaned up but once it dried the grime resurfaced. Ill try a brush like you suggested.

 

[DeathFromBelow]

Hey, I've got one of those, a '76! Bought it as my first amp at age 15 in '94. Cool!

 

[AltGrendel]

I still have mine. Bought it new when they first came out. I blew a transistor while playing a synth through it. I'll get it fixed some day.

 

[lucathakid]

Anyone know if there's any difference between the two inputs in the front? And can I disconnect the speaker from the back and run a line in to my computer safely? Looks like a standard quarter inch output
