Yep, I meant "Non-Graphic EQ", Peavey did make a TKO 80 Bass amp with a Graphic EQ, but it is not only more powerful, it is also bigger than the TKO 80 I have, I had been having a good debate in my head about what to do about it, whether I was going to buy a new speaker for it, or convert it to a preamp, I realized that converting it to a preamp is going to cost me less, both in money and time, these little TKO 80 Bass amps aren't that great sounding due to the configuration of the power transistors, which I believe are in what's called a "Quasi-Complementary" output stage configuration ( I think), but my main rationale for doing the conversion is so that I can use my Squire P-Bass with my Behringer amp, I have tried plugging the P-Bass straight into one of the line inputs and it does work, the tone is a bit lacking though, because the inputs aren't really designed for a Bass guitar, it's more of a full-range P.A./Keyboard system, I've tried tweaking the EQ on the Behringer K3000FX and that somewhat works with the bass, but, if I also want to connect a keyboard up to the K3000FX, then I'd have to set the EQ flat to work with the keyboards.
So, converting my TKO 80 Bass amp into a preamp for use with the K3000FX amp, is going to benefit a Bass guitar in at least two ways as far as I can see, firstly the input impedance is going to be a better match for a Bass guitar, secondly it will provide a separate set of tone controls for a Bass guitar and I will still be able to set the graphic EQ on the K3000FX flat for keyboards.
