Gear Watch: Peavey introduces Headliner Bass Amp
Peavey announced the Headliner, a new rack-mountable bass amp at the 2010 NAMM show.
The Headliner is a 600-watt bass amplifier head with a seven-band graphic EQ. Players can use the graphic EQ in conjunction with the low and high shelving-type tone controls, or bypass the graphic EQ entirely.
