To amp peavey modelo 1000

It depends on brand and size amp... what type of amp. Ask yourself...if it was cheap when you purchased it. It may be cheaper to buy a new one. Please tell me what type and brand. We can go from there.

Check for swolen caps.

Peavey XR 1212 You may find helpful info from the Peavey site. I'm not sure how you want to configure your setup, but the tape out may be able to feed the power amp.

No It wont, is this a new amp you installing or is it already been installed and was working?

Dear FixYa Customer,

In reference to:
peavey AMPLIFIER, 1000 WPC, DDT, 8/4/2 OHMS => Model PV2000...
peavey CS-800 PA power amp 1 channel problem
listed on FixYa Site.....

I read this review of a new PEAVEY Amp @
http://www.musiciansnews.com/live_sound/49/peavey_pv900_stereo_pro_power_amplifier.shtml

"The new PV Series power amps retain their two-channel design, high power points and exclusive peavey features and technologies—such as DDT compression and Turbo-V Cooling. The PV 900 delivers 300 Watts per side into 4 Ohms, 180 "

This makes me believe they've had problems with the channel on other models like the one your trying to fix!

I'd try them direct at this point in your attempt to fix this problem. It looks like they have a great PEAVEY CUSTOMER SUPPORT SITE which I always say "You Should Call 1st!" @

Hi Sean! Same problem. Initially the LEDs flashed on and off. In the end the LEDs finally stopped flashing and and just blinked once when I turned it on.I took it to a Peavey repairer and found that a couple of transistors were blown He ended up replacing the board. He seemed to think that dodgy speaker leads may have caused the problem. Maybe the flashing is just a warning. Don't ignore it! Hope this helps.

Open it up check the back of the switch.
if its disconnected or poorly connected re-solder it if that does not work, or you dont know how to; get a new switch
[you can easily get them at the Source or some electronics store]

Hello,

Unless there is a 240/120 switch on the back, this amplifier cannot change voltage. The only way is to replace the power transformer, and when you do that you need to use the exact model transformer Peavey uses for the 120 version. I have also seen differences in handling power outside of just a different transformer for USA/Euro models.
The differences between these two market models might be beyond what is cost-effective to convert.

If it is the Peavey blazer 158, they go for as cheap as 100 bucks here in the states. Or buy one new for 120.00 bucks and 4.99 shipping: http://www.dcmusicstore.com/Peavey-blazer-158-guitar-amplifier

Best advice: sell it for what ever you can get and buy one here.

Hope this helps!

Hello Sir, Hi, distorted sound can be caused by several factors, one would be that the source, overdrives the power amps. You need to lessen the signal, if the source has a volume control set it to half. Another is the power amp itself is defective, The likely culprit it the Integrated power amp. this should be checked by a technician. and lastly the loudspeakers, to test just simply swap the other channel driver unit to the questionable one. check If the sound returns to normal. Several factors also are low voltage supply, leaking capacitors. there are no user serviceable parts here.

if the noise stops when you push on the part, you may want to try resoldering the connections. how many leads does the part have??????????

It APPEARS that the preamp tube heaters are run from DC source while the latter ones and the power output tubes are run on AC.

Check the 6.3 volts AC going to the power amp tube.

That heater power is fed through fuse F2.

I suspect you will find that fuse has a bad fuseholder or is blown. A failure in the transformer is possible and I hope that is not the case.

A heater short in a tube is possible but doesn't happen often. Replace the fuse ONCE only and if it blows again investigate why. Could be bad wiring or a bad socket or an internal short within one of the unlit tubes. Thoose are rare but still possible.

This should work. I use a similar setup for break music at small gigs. I would check the cable and the output of the unit itself again. .

My recommendation would be to double check the back of you crossover and make sure everything is hooked up correctly. If you crossover is convertible like my DBX223 xl is from Stero to Mono and Three way to two way the connections on the back changes roles.

Yep!
I get alot of amp building supplies at Hoffman Amplifiers.

Here is the link to the Peavey 258 Rage. The difference is the 158 is 15w and the 258 is 25w.

http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/00583600_4.pdf

The correct order is Mixer>EQ>Compressor>Crossover>Amps>Speaker. Here is the link that helped me out. Scott's PA System Tutorial
