Peavey TKO 115
Peavey · amplifier
The Peavey TKO 115 is a 1x15 bass combo from the company's long-running TKO line, a solid-state design that was a staple of rehearsal rooms and working bands for years. Fifteen-inch drivers give the deep, rounded low end associated with traditional bass amplification rather than the tighter response of smaller speakers. Peavey built its reputation on durable, affordable amplification, and the TKO is a representative example. It suits bassists wanting a robust, conventional combo.
