Product Overview
Renowned for its overdriven bass tone, the Peavey Super Festival Series returns featuring a retro look with features modernized for today’s bass players.
The Peavey F-1200B Bass Amp Head takes its cues from the classic F-800B Bass Amp Head circa 1971 and revitalizes it with 1200 watts of true RMS Peavey power. Its discrete BJT (bipolar junction transistor) preamp circuitry has been painstakingly recreated using similar thru-hole components and was originally voiced by Hartley Peavey.
It features a three-band EQ with Treble, Middle, and Bass controls. A six-band inductive EQ circuit divides into six segments, each controlling a specific band of frequencies, resulting in player-defined tone that can be dialed into any configuration.
The Overdrive feature distinguishes itself from others by providing a fuller, softer characteristic, and is footswitchable. It's what the original F-800B was known for, making it highly sought after in the secondary market.
Rounding out the F-1200B’s control assortment are two Input Jacks with Input Jack 1 having twice the amount of gain as Input Jack 2. Volume to control the input preamp and Master Volume to control total sonic output bring it all together.
The F-1200B features a USB-C Recording Output/Interface, Dual ¼” TRS Footswitch Jacks for Mute, Boost (+4dbV), Overdrive, and Effects Loop, a Headphone jack, XLR cable connections for a DI Interface, Ground Lift, Preamp Out/Power Amp Input Master/Slave Loop, EFX Send/Return jacks and Dual Neutrik combination Speakon/Phone Speaker Output connectors.
It all combines to make this the heaviest sounding Super Festival bass amp yet.
