Peavey TKO 115s for psg
What are your thoughts on using a Peavey TKO 115s for psg? I have one, I use for a practice amp on Bass. While I keep it at my churches rehearsal room, I have wondered how a steel would sound thru it.
Any thoughts...comments...concerns...suggestions?

Most "bass" amps work good for pedal steel. We used to have a Peavey TNT 115S bass amp and I tried it with steel and aside from no reverb it worked good.
I'm currently using a GK MB200 amp (with an Eminence EPS-15C speaker), which is sold as a "bass" amp.

I picked one up relatively cheap from Guitar Center once. It sounded okay for steel, but was way too big and heavy to justify keeping around in addition to my other way too heavy amps. Those particle board cabinets in the large Peavey bass amps are back (and, for me, deal) breakers.
That said, I do have a big old Peavey 1x15 bass cabinet that I keep around to pair with my Session 500 head cabinet for playing bike week once a year (and/or for when Chris Caruso get's out of line).

Except for the lack of reverb, most bass amps sound great with steel. And the TKO is a workhorse. If you have outboard reverb, it should make not only a fine practice amp, but I'd feel comfortable gigging with it.

I know the "back breaking" feeling, all too well. I have a Peavey 215 I bought new in 86(?). Awesome sounding passive cab...but weighs way too much for a "post back surgery" bassist. She's been a world traveler, literally. Now she resides in my studio corner.Dan Beller-McKenna wrote:Those particle board cabinets in the large Peavey bass amps are back (and, for me, deal) breakers.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I think, rather than drag the TKO home, I'll drag the steel to the church and give it a try.Lane Gray wrote:Except for the lack of reverb, most bass amps sound great with steel.
