OPERATING GUIDE
The Basic"' 50 is the smallest, lightest and least expensive model of the complete line of Peavey bass
amplification systems. But don't let the small size and budget price fool you; the Basic 50 is indeed a
professional system in quality and performance, and it shares many important features with larger, more
powerful Peavey models.
The Basic 50 will produce over 50 watts RMS into an 8 ohm load. It is equipped with an extremely heavy-duty
12" loudspeaker. The chassis and speaker are housed in a ruggedly constructed enclosure made of
%"
materials and covered with 34 ounce fabric-reinforced Tolex®. Plated steel corners, glides, chassis straps and
a heavy-duty steel reinforced carrying handle improve durability and insure continued good looks. The Basic
50 is very portable and will please both the student bass player and the professional for rehearsal, studio or
small concert applications.
Our DDTr" compression circuit (U.S. Pat. #4,318,053) maximizes the Basic 50's performance so the amp
does not run out of power (headroom) as easily as other manufacturers' systems. The DDT compression
circuit eliminates most amplifier clipping, and keeps potentially hazardous clipping distortion from reaching
the speaker. We have also included four bands of equalization, a preamp out/power amp in effects loop, pre
and post gain controls, and our very popular "Pull Bright" control.
All of these features add up to an unbeatable bass system within this price and power range. Compare our
quality, features and performance with other similarly priced bass amplifiers. You'll find the Peavey Basic 50 is
your best buy.
