Peavey MiniMAXII Mk2 600W Bass Amp Head

This second hand bass amp head is in great condition

The Peavey MiniMAX II Mk2 is a 600‑watt, ultra‑light, gig‑ready Class‑D bass head built for working players who want huge volume, flexible tone shaping, and rugged reliability without boutique pricing. It’s one of the most feature‑rich compact heads in its class, especially for the money.

 Tone & Performance

Power & Headroom

With 600W RMS at 4Ω, the MiniMAX II Mk2 has more than enough clean headroom for pubs, clubs, rehearsal rooms, and even outdoor stages. It stays tight and controlled even when pushed hard.

Voicing & Character

The core tone is modern, punchy, and clean, but Peavey gives you several tools to shape it:

• Punch switch  boosts low‑mids for rock and fingerstyle presence
• Mid‑Shift  moves the mid EQ centre for scooped or cutting tones
• Bright switch  adds top‑end clarity for slap or pick playing
• TransTube gain boost  adds a tube‑like grit when you want some edge

The amp can go from warm and rounded to aggressive and grindy without feeling artificial.

Low‑End Enhancement

Peavey’s Psycho‑Acoustic Bass Enhancement adds perceived low‑end without overloading your speakers , genuinely useful when using smaller cabs or playing at lower volumes.

Features That Matter on a Gig

Built‑In Chromatic Tuner

A proper onboard tuner with speaker and DI mute , extremely practical for silent tuning on stage.

Peavey’s long‑standing limiter system prevents clipping and protects your cab , ideal for loud gigs or unpredictable backline situations.

Real‑World Use 

Rock / Metal

Punchy mids, tight lows, and the TransTube grit make it ideal for heavier styles.

Funk / Pop

Bright switch + fast transient response = great for slap and clean articulation.

Rehearsal / Touring

Lightweight, loud, and durable , perfect for players who gig often.

The Peavey MiniMAX II Mk2 is a workhorse bass head: loud, lightweight, reliable, and packed with genuinely useful features. It’s ideal for gigging bassists who want modern clarity, flexible tone shaping, and serious power without spending Markbass or Mesa money.

If you pair it with a good 4Ω cab (like a Peavey Headliner or PVH), it becomes a compact rig capable of handling almost any venue.
