For years steel guitarists have looked for a high powered, compact amp that could handle the tremendous dynamic range produced by the steel guitar. Our engineers and musicians have spent years researching this particular problem and have designed and produced the most advanced amplifier on the market for the steel guitar, the Peavey "Session 400" The Session 400 is a relatively small, highly portable unit that delivers 200 watts (RMS @ 1% THD) and can handle anything a steel can dish out without distortion or crack-ing. This new unit features controls for volume, presence, middle, middle shift, treble, bass, reverb, tremolo, and master sensitivity.

The master sensitivity control is a unique innovation which allows the player to "cut" or "boost" sensitivity as he desires. This allows the guitarist to cut out noise for a perfectly quiet performance during recording sessions. The middle shift control enables the guitarist to select the particular frequency range that he wants to cut in the midrange spectrum. This means that he can change and vary the total sound characteristics of the amplifier simply by turning a single control. The Session 400 is available with either one 15 inch J.B.L., two 12" heavy duty eminence, or two 12 inch Electro Voice speakers for personal tonal preferences.
