Peavey Century 200H Bass Head - USED

USED - For many years, working musicians have consistently expressed the need for a simple, economical but effective "utility" amplifier. The Century is such a utility amplifier featuring 100 watts RMS (@4 ohms), the latest active equalization circuitry, and tremendous input dynamic range to enable its use with almost any instrument. This unit is an ideal bass or keyboard amplifier and, with the inclusion of our unique "SATURATION™" effect, is also a truly exceptional 100 watt guitar amplifier. This Saturation effect produces the warm overload and sustain characteristics of vacuum tube amplifiers and is intended primarily for guitar; however, many interesting and novel effects can be accomplished with bass and keyboard instruments. The Saturation effect is further enhanced by the ability of the Century to control this effect with an optional remote footswitch.

The EQ circuit features active "shelving" type high and low equalizers and the unique "PARAMID™" equalizer for the vital midrange frequencies. Our Paramid circuit enables true boost or cut capability in the vital midrange as well as enabling shifting the center frequency over an extremely wide range. This unique active/parametric equalization circuit enables the
Century to duplicate almost any tonality and, when combined with the tremendous dynamic capabilities and Saturation features of the preamp, the results are truly exceptional.

We have included an "effects loop" consisting of a transient protected preamp out/power amp in system of jacks to enable utilization of the Century with external devices such as power amps, effects devices, etc. A post gain (master volume) has also been included to further enhance this unique amplifier's capabilities.

The 100 watt power amp of the Century utilizes four rugged T0-3 power devices bolted to a massive aluminum heatsink. Power is supplied from a large transformer utilizing a grain-oriented silicon steel core feeding large silicon rectifiers in a full bridge configuration. The dual 5,500 microfarad filter capacitors supply well-regulated D.C. and provide tremendous instantaneous dynamic power capability.

Overall, the Century 200H is the utility amplifier. It has the unique features, gain, overload dynamics, equalization and "ruggedized" output to handle almost any musical instrument. Its conservative 100 watt rating does not actually convey its true dynamic music power capabilities. If your requirements are for a simple "no frills" professional amplifier in the 100 watt range, we are confident that the Century will fill your needs.
