Tailor-made for Performing Bassists

The Peavey MAX 300's feature-rich design was tailor-made for performing bassists. This 300-watt bass combo amp includes plenty of onboard sound shaping, with a 3-band EQ and Overdrive, Contour, Mid Shift, and Bright controls. Kosmos-C bass enhancement imparts harmonics and subharmonics for maximum impact and tone. Clip-limiting DDT tames your dynamics and protects your speakers. Integrating your pedals and external processors is a breeze, thanks to the MAX 300's effects loop. Expanding your rig is just as easy, courtesy of the MAX 300's speaker out. The MAX 300's angled baffle design directs your sound right where you need it, while its lightweight construction and efficient power amp ensure maximum portability.

Create the perfect bass guitar tone

Achieving chest-thumping bass guitar tone is easy with the MAX 300. Sculpt your sound to perfection with a 3-band EQ. Then put your own sonic stamp on it with Overdrive, Contour, Mid Shift, and Bright controls. Drench your playing in ear-popping harmonics and subharmonics with the MAX 300's Kosmos-C bass enhancement. You also get Peavey's acclaimed DDT speaker protection technology that's ideal for slapping and other loud playing scenarios.

Loads of player-friendly features

It's easy to build your bass rig around the MAX 300. An external speaker out makes constructing a solid-sounding bass amp stack easy. A bass-specific chromatic tuner prevents an out-of-tune bass from wrecking your performance. You also get an effects loop for integrating your pedals and external processors. Beyond that, its angled baffle design directs your sound right where you want it — no need to tilt your amp back. The bassists here at Sweetwater appreciate the Peavey MAX 300's player-friendly features.

Lightweight and portable

The MAX 300 was designed with portability in mind. In fact, its power-to-weight ratio is downright impressive! And how did Peavey achieve this? For starters, they built this bass combo amp out of lightweight woods. They also utilized an efficient power amplifier. Every aspect of its design maximizes its portability. Actually, the MAX 300 so lightweight that you could use a 25-pound spider monkey as a roadie!

Great for the money

Great little combo for playing at home or with others. Plenty of volume to keep up with my teenage son on drums and my friends Marshal 50watt amp. I could even use this for church service. Decent tones and the option for external speakers make this a good choice.

I don't play live often anymore so I sold all my pro gear. This has been a great replacement.
Rated 5/5

Nice Amp!!

This amp is great!! When it first arrived, it wouldn't play the sound thru because it was zero degrees outside which caused a delay for delivery. Electronics don't perform too well when temperatures affect them. Gave it time to warm up and SONIC BOOM!! It has good clarity and thunder! The grill has a little rattle when it rumbles too much but we will solve that with a little insulation. Not a deal breaker in my book. The sound quality and features override that. The chromatic tuner is what sold me!! Push the button and tune your guitar on the spot!! Excellent option Peavey!! If are on the fence about this amp, get off and get with it!! You won't regret it!!

Peavey Max 300 w/2-10” plus horn

Bought this for smaller clubs. Played it at home a couple times before a gig. Sounded great! Played first show with it. I play a Lakland DJ4 bass, through a Mesa Subway pedal preamp, to the amp! I started out at the beginning of the gig with EQ set flat, gain on 4 and volume on 1. The power was unbelievable! At the end of the night my gain was at 2 and volume still at 1. The angled baffle board, (why I purchased to begin with) was perfectly angled so I had no problems hearing myself all night. Only problem I had, no power cord storage so I came up with my own. Will post pic soon. Can add another 8 ohm cabinet but I didn't need it.

Peavey MAX 300 2x10" Bass Combo Amp...

A reviewer thinks that all amplified musical products need to be made in the "USA" but there are still "PRODUCTS" made in other "NATIONS". I ask what vehicle are you driving or what computer system are you are using because it still has foreign components added to the platform. I like what the other reviewers have stated. This amp provides a multi-level ability to create whatever bass sound you want for either practice or live gigs. I've added the Augilar SL 115 to assist with my lower end dynamic sound and I have very pleased with the head room and punchy sound.
