Peavey MiniMAX 600 Watt Bass Amp Head
Peavey · amplifier
The Peavey MiniMAX 600W is an ultra-lightweight bass amp head delivering 600 watts of RMS solid-state power in a chassis weighing under six pounds, the top-power model in Peavey's MiniMAX lineup. It includes DDT speaker protection, a 3-band EQ, TransTube gain-boost circuitry, and psychoacoustic low-end enhancement for added perceived bottom end without overtaxing speakers. Internal cooling fans keep the compact chassis from overheating under sustained high-power use, audible during operation but generally only noticeable when not actively playing. It's aimed at bassists wanting maximum power in the smallest possible, most travel-friendly package.
