Congratulations on your purchase of the Peavey MAX
®
450. The MAX 450 includes an easy-to-use, three-
band active EQ with shiftable mid-range control and a contour control (for that smiley-face EQ curve).
These tone controls are so versatile you should be able to quickly dial up your own sound.
Also provided are a buffered tuner send jack, an electronically balanced XLR line out with its own level
control, pre-post EQ switch, and a ground lift switch. The XLR output is before the master volume control,
so you can adjust your stage volume without affecting the send to the main sound system.
A -10 dB input pad switch, footswitchable post-EQ effects loop, preamp output/power amp input patch
points, and the DDT
™
(speaker protection) enable/defeat switch add to the list of professional features
found in the MAX 450.
For more information on operation and specifications we suggest that you spend a few minutes to look
through this manual. Pay close attention to the safety precautions. They contain warnings that concern
the safety of both you and your amp. Thank you for buying Peavey!
