(1) Input Jack

Plug your bass into this 1/4" jack. Connect your bass prior to turning on the power switch.

(2) Gain

This control sets the MAX® preamp input gain and works in conjuction with the selected Voicing preset (see 3, Voicing). Rotating the control clockwise increases gain, but your final setting will depend on the output of your bass (passive or active) as well as your playing style.

(3) Voicing

The Voicing switch offers several EQ and TransTube® gain variations which essentially offer the user several amplifiers in one, each with distinct tonal characteristics.

Modern - Based on “West Coast” EQ voicing with no tube simulation

Vintage - Based on Peavey TransTube front-end with a vintage tube bass voicing MAX - Based on classic Peavey EQ voicing with no tube simulation (on MAX 115 only)

(4) Equalization

The EQ section allows for tonal adjustment of the amp model selected in the Voicing section (3) and causes the EQ to respond in a manner similar to the amp being modeled. The EQ controls on the MAX 158, 110 and 112 are of a standard passive type (controls interact depending on setting), while the MAX 115 has an active EQ with independent cut and boost.

Low - Rotate the control clockwise to increase the low frequencies Mid - Rotate the control clockwise to increase the mid frequencies

Shift (MAX 115 only) - This control provides a semi-parametric EQ that sets the frequency at which the mid control cuts or boosts. Rotating the control clockwise from left to right increases this frequency; it can be set anywhere between 200 Hz and 2 kHz.

High - Rotate the control clockwise to increase the high frequencies
