Peavey 70s Analog Mixers?

[Ombrenuit]

Anyone have experience with these? Do they add mojo to recordings at all? They weren't exactly top of the line at the time. The seller also mentioned they needed a slave amp to function. Does he mean PA?

A lot of stuff Peavey was making in the 70's was all discrete transistor. Some of it is quite useful.

Sounds like a unpowered mixer to me either in a headshell or desk. It'll need a stereo power amp to run.

Thanks for the explanation Moose!

They sound really warm, may not be as "hi-fi" as modern digital stuff but they do warm up your sound real nice.  I got one, It's huge and weighs a ton but I love it.  Some have a really nice built in real spring reverb too.  also they have pretty good headroom.

Thanks for the review. Found out my buddy has one coincidentally and was really digging it this weekend. The seller was dodging questions about issues the board might have though so I let it go to someone else. He said everything was in excellent working condition except the stuff he didn't test - which was about everything.
