Tailor-made for Performing Bassists

The Peavey MAX 250's feature-rich design was tailor-made for performing bassists. This 250-watt bass combo amp includes plenty of onboard sound shaping, with a 3-band EQ and Overdrive, Contour, Mid Shift, and Bright controls. Kosmos-C bass enhancement imparts harmonics and subharmonics for maximum impact and tone. Clip-limiting DDT tames your dynamics and protects your speakers. Integrating your pedals and external processors is a breeze, thanks to the MAX 250's effects loop. Expanding your rig is just as easy, courtesy of the MAX 250's speaker out. The MAX 250's angled baffle design directs your sound right where you need it, while its lightweight construction and efficient power amp ensure maximum portability.

Create the perfect bass guitar tone

Achieving chest-thumping bass guitar tone is easy with the MAX 250. Sculpt your sound to perfection with a 3-band EQ. Then put your own sonic stamp on it with Overdrive, Contour, Mid Shift, and Bright controls. Drench your playing in ear-popping harmonics and subharmonics with the MAX 250's Kosmos-C bass enhancement. You also get Peavey's acclaimed DDT speaker protection technology that's ideal for slapping and other loud playing scenarios.

Loads of player-friendly features

It's easy to build your bass rig around the MAX 250. An external speaker out makes constructing a solid-sounding bass amp stack easy. A bass-specific chromatic tuner prevents an out-of-tune bass from wrecking your performance. You also get an effects loop for integrating your pedals and external processors. Beyond that, its angled baffle design directs your sound right where you want it — no need to tilt your amp back. The bassists here at Sweetwater appreciate the Peavey MAX 250's player-friendly features.

Lightweight and portable

The MAX 250 was designed with portability in mind. In fact, its power-to-weight ratio is downright impressive! And how did Peavey achieve this? For starters, they built this bass combo amp out of lightweight woods. They also utilized an efficient power amplifier. Every aspect of its design maximizes its portability. Actually, the MAX 250 so lightweight that you won't mind not having a roadie!

Rated 5/5

Kick butt sound

Very pleased with this combo. It packs a punch and offers tone options for all players. Nice warm, full, punchy output. I play in multiple projects and whether open mic, 5 piece heavy rock or 7 piece R&B this little guy cuts through with ease. I generally leave all of the tones at 12:00, and for me do not use the enhanced eq's. The combo offers an active and passive input which I like to accommodate my axe choice depending on song and project.clear highs that do not get compressed if I slap for a 250 output. No issues with speaker grating as others have posted and light to carry. Check this out , I feel great value for the money

Great Product - Peavey Max 250 Base Amp

Peavey makes a great, reliable product. I bought this Peavey Max 250 Base Amp for my husband. He loves it.

Rated 4/5

Peavey Bass Amp

I ordered this amp because I needed a deeper sound to fill out a three-hundred-person room.

It delivers good quality acoustics. With the right settings whether it's a passive bass like the Fender Jazz bass or Passive bass. The sound is clear and the lower octaves don't rumble.

The active bass sounds good. With the treble at 50% and the bass level set at 100%, the sound is great.
