Try pumping up the shift knob first then adjust the highs to your taste. I had the same problem once upon a time and turning the shift up really thickened everything up (if thats the sound your looking for). The shift on all of my amps never run under 3:00

Hi Joe,

you can try to crank to volume up and then back off everything else but the bass, as for the shift button goes it's only for sweeping and changing EQ mid frequency,if that's doesn't work...you can try a small eq and boost the low frequency you want. Smile

Joe, if you have an early or un-modded Peavey amp, you won't be able to get much bass. Up until about a decade ago, Peavey cut the bass response on their amps to keep from having speaker failures. The result was a middy "nasal" sound that usually can't be dialed out. You can mod the amp, trade it on a newer model, or go the stomp-box EQ route. A simple speaker change won't help very much.

Joe, I think you might need to contact Ken Fox. When He gets through with your amp you'll never want to get rid of it, Fred
