keepitsecret Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I am thinking about getting this amp, its an 800 watt amp, will it be alright with my Peavey 4x10 4ohm 350 watt cab? Its peak rating is 700 watt, could it blow it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 yes, But you could probably blow it with a 350w amp if you're not careful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepitsecret Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks for reply, so im best to stick with an amp with no more than a 700watt output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoJo Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's a monster of an amp. It could easily fry your speakers but I expect you'll go deaf before that happens if you're driving a 410TX / TVX that hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepitsecret Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Haha,im torn between the mb500 and the mb800, anyone have any experience with both? Does the FET driven preamp on the MB800 give it a distinct advantage sound quality wise? I'd love to try them out but nowhere near me stocks them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwin Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I use an MB800 with Barefaced S12T - I will never need more power unless I play Wembley - which I won't! If you are sticking with your cab go for the MB500. Overall its the best set-up I have ever used - even though my band mates reckon the amp looks like a cheap aftermarket FreeSat box!!

Lozz196 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I`ve used the MB500 with the TVX 410 and it was a great pairing. Also didn`t need the volume on much more than about 3 in a punk band - Pistols/Clash/Ramones etc. Unless you really prefer the sound of the 800, I`d get the 500. If you do get the 800, keep a close ear on things, though as MoJo says, if you blow the TVX you`d probably be deaf by that point anyway.
