I bought this Minx in 1986 to use in a band when my bass amp fried. It was line out to the p.a. I love the tone of this amp! It reminds me of a miniature SVT! I've owned this amp now for 21 years, used it every year, left it in the rain, frozen, in storage where the cover molded, and this little guy just keeps on going! Because of this amp I love Peavey's, been buying them from 1979, though, they've always kicked butt.

My Minx has a line out as well as headphone out. Three tone controls, one volume. I run the volume about half and bass on 3/4, mid about 1/2, and treble at 1/3. The tone is so great on this little guy I use it to compare the sounds of other amps.
