Tour™ Series 450/700

Bass Amplifiers

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Tour Bass amplifier from Peavey®. The Tour series is a class leader in power.

The Tour series features class A/B power amplifiers with patented SmartRail™ and DDT™ technologies. This technology gives these amps massive dynamic power in a lightweight package, without introducing any switching distortion or delay. Each amp features DC protection, an efficient parallel cooling system and a two-speed cooling fan. But that's not all. These amps contain an analog octave divider which allows the user to synthesize a note one full octave below the note you are playing. Wrap all this up with a constant Q, 9-band, graphic equalizer and the Peavey reputation for quality, and you couldn't ask for anything else.

Before you begin playing through your amplifier, it is very important to ensure that the product has the proper AC line voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage for your amp printed next to the IEC line (power) cord on the rear panel of the unit. Each product feature is numbered. Refer to the front panel diagram in this manual to locate the particular features next to its number.
