Is that the trick then? Is the other one at the heel or in the stock position (upper horn)?
This has plagued me for a while and I never thought to try moving the rear button.
Anyone using a Peavey amp for Doom?. Ive got a 1977 Yamaha B100 with a nice deep vintage bottom end that I use regularily but I have a Peavey Mark 3 that Im starting to use more lately. The Peavey Mark 3 as other Peavey models Ive owned packs a serious punch, it was awesome for Hardcore and Thrash but after fiddling around with the settings it can offer a very punishing bottom end, just gotta spend time and be picky about it.
Max is using lots of Peavey amps for doom.
Also, Ben from Chrch uses both a Peavey bass and a Peavey amp.
Also, guys, be advised that if you ever play the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco, there's a weird room reflection that results in a drop in the lows and low mids right in the area of the stage where you usually would be standing. It sounds great in the audience, but can be a real mind**** when you're playing.
Last night the bassist of Isles used my amp, cause the soundguy wanted as much rig sharing as possible. He changed some settings on the rotary EQ (thankfully did not use the graphic), so when I adjusted the midrange knob back up, I found that it had gotten crackly sounding, due to my lack of using it, ha ha. Literally has been set on 10 for probably two years or so.
I love scouring the net for Doom and finding bands that use Peavey amps, Ive had Peavey most all of my playing life and only recall them being hugely popular in the 80's and 90's with traditional Hard Rock and Metal genre's but rarely see them on stage with much heavier bands now days.
These older heads here have some serious versatility, just like a T-40. I can't remember exactly how you could run series/parallel/both/etc. with the channels, but I know the manual isn't too hard to find online. I had one for a sec and it could sound all kinds of brutal if you wanted. They are still super cheap on the used market.
I actually see them pretty frequently with doom bands.
I think they appeal to the "brute force" aspect of the genre.
I too had a Peavey M III from 1985 into the early 2000s with one of those heavy Peavey 2x15 cabs. I played metal (death/grind), but that head was so versatile that I could have used it for anything. I think that I got rid of it just because of the name.
Now I use Tech 21 Lamdmark 300 heads and Tech 21 B-410 VT cabs. The heads are capable of many tones, BUT don't pack the power of that old Peavey.
Yeah, for some ungodly reason, I thought Peavey wasn't cool enough and went with an Ampeg SVP. I learned my lesson. At a recording session that Ampeg wasn't working right and and I had to take it out of the rack, pull about 25 screws out and re-seat all the tubes. Soon after that I sold it to go solid state again.
Yeah Dude I just unloaded a Peavey TKO not long ago that also packed serious punch. Good thing is you can pick up a classic Peavey any day of the week and not have to break the bank for one.
Man that thing just looks sweet, I would buy it on looks alone.These older heads here have some serious versatility, just like a T-40. I can't remember exactly how you could run series/parallel/both/etc. with the channels, but I know the manual isn't too hard to find online.

Hell yeah! I might have to grab one for old times sake!
