  • no reviewer or the manual tells if the external speaker jack mutes the on board speaker. I ordered the max 250 1×15, so i guess i'll know soon enough. I know the Katana bass, which was my other choice, for sure mutes the on board speaker if you plug in the external jack. i really hope the 15 works with the external cab plugged in as well.

  • Anyone have a ground issue? I've tried different outlets, different cables. I've plugged straight in & the ground doesn't help. I've used a DI box & the ground doesn't help. The amp sounds fine. I get the noise when I try to run it out front through our system. I set it in top of a Marshall cab for some height. Could this be an issue? Should it be on the floor? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • The problem with this video and weak link is the ancient style Shure SM-57. It distorts bad and muds the sound. The 1/2 of the demo with the "overdrive" turned on sounds like bee poop thru the 57… The 57's Frequency Response: 40Hz-15kHz…. basses are going to generate harmonics much lower (and higher if you have ears) than that mic can reproduce. Using that mic, every setting sounds exactly the same. — Worst demo possible… I know you guys can do a helluva lot better than this… YouTube viewers, ceck out the many different and way better Peavey MAX series demos out there on YouTube…

  • I just got one of the these and the speaker sounds good, but there is a hissing sound coming out the back. It doesn't seem to be the speaker making the noise. It happens on mute and nothing plugged in. Sounds like the electronic components are hissing even when using a noise filtering surge protector. Any idea what it might be?

  • I hear the speaker farting on the lower notes. Not a good sound when you're trying to sell an amp.

  • Why, whyyyy, whyyyyyyy a bass player needs overdrive? Half demo for overdrive? Explain to Peavey please, a bass player needs octaver, reverb or at least chorus bit not overdrive. Art.

  • The only thing I didn't really like was the bass boost. I just feel like it's too much boost and it's limited only to your lower notes on the bass. Everything else is great in my opinion. Perhaps I play too loud to enjoy the bass boost.
