So I just picked it up, didn't have my cab at my apartment so I ran it through a black widow equipped 2x12 monitor. The Pre amp in actually works, well it worked after some violent twisting of the volume knob, still cuts in and out occassionally or when the knobbies are turned and the Distortion knob has no effect throughout the dial but it would seem the pre amp is atleast alive.

If you can use it as a slave, or have the time/resources/free time to get it fixed, that's a great deal.

With the pre out I can just r7n it straight into the power section or use a modeler? Can it only be used as a slave?

If the preamp section is out the power section goes to the output and needs a cab... There's not too much inside and would probably be an easy fix...

So I could just run it from power amp in? So without the pre amp does it just lose some voicing or something?

You loose all the knobs... It's just an "amp"...

Ok let me pose this question. As of now our bassist needs it, his Mark Bass went out and he has been using a low watt peavey ss head that ia not sounding too good. If ue used the sunn as a slave for the peavey would it give an audible sense of more headroom due to higher wattage pushing the cabs (4x10 and 1x15)

Get it, and fix it. They're usually cheap for a tech to work on, and those are great amps.

Thats my goal, I just need it to work by friday and then worry about fixing the pre amp.
Do line 6 bass pod xt lives work as pre's? I think he has one still.

I'm not sure about the Line 6 but if you plug straight in to the Sunn
you MAY be able to get the toanz you want from the tone knob on the bass.
OR PEDALS.

If the peavey has a slave out jack then it should work fine. Make sure the cabs are correct for what the amps are rated for though.
I could be wrong but I think those are ok with 8 or 4 ohms min so If you have two 4 ohms bass cabs you will want to make sure they are running in series, not parallel

Looked and cant go slave route, will just run it straight into the cabs and also try the modeler
