Then there's the extras - including punch and bright switches, KOSMOS bass enhancement, an effects loop, and groovy customizable control surface color lighting. Oh, and one more thing: MiniMEGA sounds massive and incredible. Your bass called. It wants its MiniMEGA.

Reviews

Love The Little Monster
I recently purchased this bass head I must say it has more than exceeded my expectations! Everyone in the band likes it too and say they love being able to hear every single note. No more lugging my SVT4 Pro from gig to gig. This thing has just about as much power as my old amp, and it's easy to dial in a great tone! Bravo Peavey!

KOSMOS works well
The KOSMOS feature is great! It can fill the gaps in the sound of a small band or make your presence known when being drowned out by multiple keys, guitars, and heaven forbid...an organ. I think a lot of people use pedals to do some great stuff. However, I can haul just my bass and this amp into a setting have have plenty of tone shaping for a live gig. It may not serve all the purposes perhaps of a recording session or something, but it will fill out the sound and sound big when needed in a live setting.

Fan noise: There were some comments about sound noise. I find the fan is quite to non-existent when first turned on. It only runs on high when you are being really loud, which means you can't hear the fan when you're that loud anyway.

Pro-level amp
This amplifier was a real reach for me. I did a lot a research and sorted through a BUNCH of brand bias before I decided to give Peavey an opportunity again. I am pleasantly surprised by this thing. It is not a plug-and-play amp (although running it "flat" allows you and amp that will work in ANY venue) but it IS fairly intuitive IF you understand how to eq your rig. It is incredibly powerful! I has that THUMP that so many amps of this ilk lack. VERY high quality build...another pleasant surprise. I would say with confidence after many years of playing in clubs, this is a "pro-level" amp that can handle ANY room.

The miniMega
Peavey outdid themselves with this one. 9lbs Of BEAST!!! I"m running it to a 15 and a 2x10 and it"s all I need. The clarity is there. The bottom is there! The direct our works very well and it cuts the the house nicely.
Pro Product
Love the versatility and the power. With the way the midrange can be dialed in is almost infinitely variable. Getting the midrange growl is no problem and claiming your place in the mix is totally assured.
Only two small complaints, the compression feature is weak and the power on switch in the back is a little weak. I would prefer if it was a hard click instead of a non committal sensation when activated. It almost make me think that it might be one of the first things to fail but not until the distant future.
All in all I am thrilled I made the decision to purchase the Peavey MINIMEGA and look forward to a long and enjoyable relationship.
Thanks Sweetwater and thanks to my sales rep Mr. Kenny Stratton. I'm very very happy.
Music background: Been playing for 61 years, that pretty well covers it.
