[/quote]Nope, it won't mean price increases....it'll mean you won't be able to buy Peavey gear in Europe. They are looking for a distributor but it's gonna be a tough sell so I wouldn't expect to see any new product this side of the pond for at least a year or two. That's my opinion only but I just can't see any of the distributors who are large enough to be able to handle a brand as diverse as Peavey wanting the line. Particularly as Peavey dumped a load of stock into the market when they closed their warehouse so no new distributor will be able to sell profitably until the old stock is sold on. Put it this way, Don't hold your breath for the new heads to turn up this side of the pond...

ebenezer Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 emailed peavey about release date, but heard nothing. Quote
Kevin Dean Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I would like to know why Peavey never do a clip light on their input gain ? Quote
chrismuzz Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Resurrecting an old thread here, but it would appear that the MiniMega has now been announced as available to buy in the US, and has started appearing on UK sites too... Looks like the RRP is over £600 which is a little higher than I expected for Peavey gear! Quote
bassix Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 I second this, does anyone have any information when these are going to be widely available? Quote
deksawyer Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Early March according to my sources... D. Quote
winterfire666 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 i would love to try one of these out Quote
1970 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 looking forward to buying these for £100 in 5 years time Quote
AlpherMako4 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Have they not lost the UK distribution? Peavey gear is bombproof. I wish I'd not sold my tour 450. Quote
2elliot Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Try www.bandm.co.uk It's the same company that handles Aguilar in the UK. They have the new Peavey heads on the website Quote
Tee Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 How about a mini version of the Mark IV series Quote

AlpherMako4 Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Do you guys have any opinions or experiences with the tour 700? Quote

[/quote] Maybe just me, but my mark iv IS a lightweight format! it's a dead easy 1-handed lift (though a bit lopsided... Maybe it's because I'm a reformed GT200 and V4 owner... but the mk iv is just not that heavy. Quote

[/quote] i remember it being big and heavy (and very lopsided for that matter)but that was a long time ago, it was certainly a lot heavier then my tc rh750 i might see if i can pick up a used one and rehouse it for better balance and less weight, might be a fun little project Quote

[/quote] Yes, I found it gutless. Clipped way too early. Not a patch on the T-Max 500 or even the old MkVIII I once owned Quote
fleabag Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I bet some here had a Peavey Firebass at some point in the life. I did, jeez what a lump Quote

smithydude Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Has anyone had a go at one of these minimax 500 heads yet? I really want to get one but can't find any user reviews Quote
Phil Starr Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Barnes and Mullins are now listing these for order http://www.bandm.co.uk/amplifiers-and-cabinets/bass-amp-heads.html Quote
