Tons of tone-shaping options onboard let you sculpt your tone to perfection
True to form, Peavey managed to pack a ton of tone-shaping goodies into their Tour 700 bass amplifier head. First off, there’s an incredibly musical 9-band graphic EQ onboard, which allows you to quickly dial in the sound you want and notch out any problem frequencies in your venue. For broader strokes, a set of active high- and low-frequency shelving EQ control provide you with the simplicity of dialing in the tone controls on your car stereo, yet deliver fantastic results once you start tweaking them, especially when you add in the mid-range contour control. When you engage the Tour 700’s bright switch, you instantly get the extra definition you need for more percussive techniques such as double thumb and basic slap and pop, but if you just want to kill some of the bass, there’s a simple highpass filter you can engage as well.
Kick up the bass with Peavey’s powerful Kosmos B Subharmonic Generator
Ever wonder how they get that bowel-shaking, foundation-imperiling sub-bass tone on aggressive rock and metal records? Sometimes, a little bit of subharmonic excitement is all it takes to make the earth move, and the Peavey Tour 700 bass amplifier head makes it all possible live. By bolstering your low end with harmonic frequencies tracking a full octave beneath the part you’re playing, the Tour 700 easily fills in the gaps and adds chest-pounding impact to every note.
Massive Class A/B power meets in a lightweight and ultra-portable package
It’s hard to hear the staggering umph and truly impressive output that the Tour 700 bass head has to offer, without imagining that it weighs more than a palette of cinderblocks. And yet, as far as pro-quality bass amplifiers go, the Tour 700 is way over on the light side. That’s because this unique bass amp borrows heavily from many of Peavey’s most popular PA technologies, including their DDT and SmartRail technologies. These technologies intelligently rout power in such a way that you can freely push your amp, and rather than risk damaging it, end up with results that sound bigger and louder than you’d ever imagine.
