bowser Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I think that you need to tell what model peavey it is you have before people can tell you how to mod it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren wilson Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Turn the "supersat" and "post" controls for the crunch channel and lead channel down to zero, push in the "PRE" knob on the normal gain channel, and disconnect your footswitch. Then just plug your compressor and distortion into the front of the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrashncrust Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 post is volume, why would i turn down post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren wilson Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Because on those two channels, the "post" is just for controlling the overall volume of those channels relative to the others. You still have an overall "Master" volume control. Since you don't want to use those channels anyway, my suggestion is to kill the two distortion channels completely. I had a Peavey for ages, and i found there was a bit of audible bleed-through from the distortion channel into the clean one. That's why i suggested shutting everything to do with the distorted channels off. That also gives you a nice, silent "standby" mode using your footswitch. http://www.peavey.com/media/pdf/manuals/80301445.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrashncrust Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 oh, by the way, thanks to whichever mod renamed my title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren wilson Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Ah, sorry i had your amp mixed up with a newer version. But the same principle applies. Each channel has its own "master" volume control. If you have your "Pre" and "Saturation" turned down to zero, you probably won't get any sound out of that channel anyway (if it's anything like my old Bandit), so i'd still say turn the Pre, Saturation and Post all down to zero and only play through the "Normal Gain" channel.

thrashncrust Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 any idea how to adjust the eq so i dont go deaf from too much treble and so my sound isnt muddy from the bass? by the way, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren wilson Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Start with your EQ flat and make minor adjustments. Or leave it flat and get an external graphic EQ pedal that will give you more control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrashncrust Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 thanks alot man, what i really wanted was to totally get rid of my preamp and somehow make my ds-1 ,compressor, and an eq into my preamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansil Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 uh.. hello.. preamp out poweramp in.. utilizing the signal from your pedals you should have enough voltage gain to go into the power amp in. which is peavey speak for this is the input to the power amp that bypasses the preamp completely. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ALL IN GOOD HUMOUR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
