Peavey 40 is a single unit, single channel amplifier which is the smallest of the range in our line of bass amplification. Peavey 40 produces well over 40 watts RMS into an 8 ohm load and is equipped with a very heavy-duty 12” speaker.

Our DDT™ compression circuit (U.S. Pat. #4,318,053) maximizes this amp's performance so that the Basic 40 does not run out of power (headroom) as easily as competing bass systems. The DDT compression eliminates most amplifier clipping and, therefore, keeps the output signal much cleaner than amplifiers without this patented system.
