With a louder 40 watts of bass amplification, and a decent quality 12" Custom-Voiced speaker, the Peavey MAX 112 offers great value at just £129, for a bass amp that is designed to be easy to use for band practice and smaller venue performances.
This version of the MAX features Peaveys TransTube circuitry for a vintage tube bass amp sound, a 3 band EQ, selectable EQ presets, a Post-EQ EFX loop, MP3/CD input and DDT speaker protection circuit.
The MAX 110 weighs in at 17kg, it's 540mm high, 462mm wide and 308mm deep, so not too big for the home or rehersal room. It's all finished in a black, vinyl covering, with a decent wooden casing.
Notice also the 2 Hypervents at the bottom of the amp, aiding the tonal range significantly.
Looking at the controls, the Gain dial sets the preamp input gain (bassically the volume level!), then the Voicing switch offers several EQ and TransTube gain variations which essentially offers you several amps in one, each with distinct tonal characteristics -
Modern - based on 'West Coast' EQ voicing with no tube emulation
Vintage - Based on Peavey TransTube front-end with a vintage tube bass voicing

The MAX 112 has a 3 band EQ shape the tone further, you get low, mid and high to get thumping metal bass, or somthing a little jazzier perhaps!
Then you get the post-EQ EFX loop, with the send socket doubling up as the MP3/CD input, and a 1/4" headphone socket for private pratice without upsetting your neighbours!
A very good mid sized rehersal bass amp, powerfull enough for a small gig or band practice, but not too big to carry around, it's god an impressive array sounds available, and certainly looks well cool. At just £129, it would be difficult to find a better sounding, more powerful amp out there for the money.
