Lockbody Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I guess so @ 600w into 2ohms. I was looking for why my Peavey Mk VIII bass amp's output randomly drops and may have found it. What I can't find, though, is that resistor in stock anywhere. Anyone with a suggestion for a suitable replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloozguy Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Did you check with Peavey? They have a surprisingly large number of parts on hand. Otherwise, check to see if there is a Vishay/Dale rep in your area. They may be able to track one down for you as a sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMERMAN Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 While you are in there be sure to tighten up any female pins on the white connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rep in Huntsville doesn't have them. 38 minutes ago, HAMERMAN said: While you are in there be sure to tighten up any female pins on the white connectors. Another good idea, thanks!

DaveH Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 This one will work... May have to bend the leads a little differently. It's rated 5W higher than what is in there now, so that is a good thing judging by the heat marks: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Ohmite/B20J400E?qs=%2fha2pyFaduiXyxytR3hs3F1SDgPIiDzeDxigGTtsdJPSaYWb4lWmew%3d%3d Are you sure it's bad tho? If you have a meter, try to read it. Sounds more like a cap issue to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloozguy for the WIN! $1.16ea! That sure beats Mouser at $95 for five when they get them in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerteddybear Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 You should also investigate why a big brute of a resistor like that is overheating. Something upstream of it coming off the rails (electrically speaking)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeboy Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Peavey is great. They have lots of parts. They still have Firenza parts in stock 19 years after the last one rolled off the lines....and their prices typically are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
