Exclusive - Peavey Max 115 Schematic

, which emulates the harmonic clipping and soft-saturation characteristics of vacuum tubes using solid-state transistors.

Drives the 15-inch heavy-duty woofer. Depending on the specific generation of your Max 115, this section relies either on a robust solid-state AB topology or a high-efficiency Class-D module paired with Peavey’s DDT™ (Distortion Detection Technique) compression. 2.

The MAX 115 uses a center-tapped transformer producing ±40V DC unloaded. The is the main filter capacitor (usually 4,700µF to 10,000µF at 50V). When this cap bulges or leaks, the amp produces a 120Hz hum that a ground lift won't fix. , which emulates the harmonic clipping and soft-saturation

The schematic incorporates a semi-parametric EQ section. This typically includes a three-band setup (Bass, Middle, Treble) with a dedicated 700µF to 10
