Put Total Tube Power to Work For Your Bass!
The Peavey VB-2 bass amplifier head gives you amazing tonal options, with headroom to spare when you need it. Everybody knows that tube watts are much louder than solid-state watts, and the 225-watt VB-2 takes full advantage of it. The all-tube preamp and power sections let you dial in everything from crystal clear and punchy to growling and edgy, and its active EQ features a multi-frequency mid adjustment, allowing you to be heard no matter what stage you're on - and sound great in the process! If you want to harness real tube tone for your bass rig, the VB-2 is your head!

Peavey VB-2 Bass Amplifier Head at a Glance:
  • Tube power, great sounds
  • Great tone control
  • Matches up with practically any cab

Tube power, great sounds
The VB-2 is built around a tube power section that utilizes six EL34 tubes to deliver its 225 watts of power. By adjusting the Clean Gain and Overdrive Gain controls on the footswitchable Clean and Crunch channels, respectively, you can dial in tones ranging from the snarling grit of rock and metal to the weighty thump of old-school dub and reggae to clean, punchy hi-fi-all while delivering the necessary "cut" to maintain a strong bass presence in live performances.

Great tone control
Backing up the amplifier's tube growl is a 3-band EQ that combines the best attributes of passive and active tone controls. This section includes high and low controls, as well as a mid control with a four-position midrange selector switch that allows you to set the mid-frequency shift at 200, 400, 600 or 800Hz.

Matches up with practically any cab
Peavey's patented Resonance and Presence controls, which adjust the damping factor at the low and high ends, respectively, along with a three-way speaker impedance selector, enable players to match the VB-2 to virtually any bass speaker enclosure. A footswitchable mute/tuner circuit and front-panel effects loop gives you additional flexibility.

  • 225 watts into 2, 4 and 8-ohm loads
