I am a young teenager and would say that this is a great amp for people who play medium to small gigs. I have heard about Peavey from my instructor, and this amp provides a smooth tone for my bass. I would be playing with practice amps, but they are distorted if you want a lower tone. A great investment, and I would encourage buying it.

I've owned this amp since it came out,And it suits my needs so far, I got it while my hartke head was in the shop, think this is heavy, try hauling around the hartke 3500 combo. I love the little amp, just needs a bit more power that's all. sounds great, small gigs no problum try it out, you'll be glad you did, when you count cash that's still in your pocket, saved!!!!!

I am a guitar player that started to play around with a bass, and I needed an inexpensive amp. At the music store, I tested 4 different amps in this price reange and settled on this one. I am a big fan of Peavey amps, but tried several different brands. The 15 inch speaker makes a huge difference. There is a much stronger sound than the 12" speakers were giving. The tone is nice, it is plenty loud enough for a bar-sized gig, and there are some nice features. Some things to consider: It is pretty big and heavy, and the Max115 does NOT have an aux jack for CD's or IPods. Another reviewer said that his guitar sounds really good through this amp. That is not very accurate as far as I am concerned. I tried it with a very good guitar and it sounded like a big muddy mess, regardless of how you eq it. It is a bass amp that will get the job done for a good price in a bar or small gig. If you are trying to buy one amp for both a guitar and bass, then buy a good PA setup and a DI box. I dont think you will too happy trying to make this amp something that it is not intended to be.

Great amp for the price

I got this amp a couple of years ago as a Christmas present. Great sound for bass, and good sound for guitar too! I used this amp for bass for the first year or so, and it was great. The different voicing choices are great. Then, I switched over to guitar. This amp can give you a loud, punchy, tube-type tone, almost the same as a lot of more expensive amps. The 15" speaker combined with the "trans-tube" technology combine for some great sounds. I think Peavey really got it right with this one. This thing is HEAVY, though, so lugging it around to gigs sucks. I definately recommend this amp for bass players who want versatility, and guitar players too. Overall a good amp.

Sweet Tone Bass Amp

Remember that by turning up the gain, you will get an overdriven, (some say muddy) sound. It's designed to do that. For a cleaner sound, turn down the gain and turn up the master volume. This amp has some very sweet bass tones. Go ahead and experiment with all the controls to find your own favorite "sweet spot". The cost is low, and its fairly portable although not light. Built rock solid too.
