I am interested in learning how tho set my bass amplifier to achieve different sounds. When I first bought a peavey amp (in 1986!) it came with a guide for settings that created appropriate sounds for rock, blues, slap, etc. I now play a 1978 Peavey Mark III, and would like some similar information

I have a Peavey Mark III 400 watt bass amp that my bass player is borrowing. I'm not very happy with the sound we are getting from it. I believe some of it is in the way he sets the EQ on it. This amp has a lot more bells and whistles then my old Fender guitar amps do. Does anyone have any suggestions? By the way, we are a high energy Blues band, (think Allman Bros./Johnny Winter/Luther Allison). Thanks

I'm having problems with power drain with the peavey tour 700 bass amp. I read that I should remove the triad chip from the amp. How is this done, and what was the point of the chip in the first place if it has to be removed?I'm having problems with power drain with the peavey tour 700 bass amp.

For rock and slapping you are going to want to set the Bass and Treble controls high and the Mids low. For music such as Jazz you are going to want more mids so that your sound will be fatter. If there is a button marked "Mid-Scoop" you'll want that on when slapping.

What do you by setup for? Are you looking for certain settings to get a certain sound? I'd do a search for the player's name + amp settings. I would try the tone controls first if I was trying to tailor the sound. Try to adjust treble bass, midrange, and try with the volume down and the tone controls all the way up and reduce from there.
Please add more information to improve help, does the amp just distorts in that particular note or teh entire sound is distorted? does the amp distorts at low volumes?
The Peavey A/B controls are output gain controls. Your mixers stereo output goes into the amps inputs, channels A & B. The Peavey is the output stage to your speaker system. If you you connect the outputs from a power amp to the inputs of a mixer you will blow the mixers input stage, amongst many other things and possibly damage the amplifier too. The bias (Bass, Mid, Treble controls) are on the mixer, not the amplifier. Unless you are using a mixer amp, which you are not. A PA system DOES NOT work in the same way as an intergrated hi fi amp.
The problem you have mentioned is a common one with old sets, but it also occurs in new ones also, though not frequent. You can fix this just by changing the electrolytic filter capacitors in the power supply and sub filters on the amp PCB. The new capacitors should be of the same or higher voltage rating and same capacity rating as of the existing ones. And as it is such an old one, it is better to change all the electrolytic capacitors to avoid any further problems.
ADjust your Gain setting to limit just enough so the amp does not go into Protect mode. Turn your Gain all the way down, then crank up the bass from your system. GRadually turn up the gain until you trip on protect. Turn the gain back a notch and your set for no more protect.
