Peavey IPR2 7500 Review (Very Long)

john lutz wrote: Math is good – everything adds up. This has been a slow motion problem due to shipping and turn around time issues. Not kidding with multiple issues. And I did request new amp – was given a not fully repaired one instead.

And you did not complain about it to Peavey?

I do not work for Peavey. When a product is malfunctioning you contact the manufacture. That is what the company wants their customers to do if there is a problem. I am actually a member of the Peavey Forum so you could have posed your issue over there and received more user experiences in regards to what you are experiencing on your IPR2 is happening to other IPR2 users.

Marty McCann is an active member on the Peavey Forum. He answered a question in regards to the IPR2 7500 I posted on the Peavey Forum promptly. This is why I recommend posing your issues on the Peavey Forum. The Peavey forum offers qualified Peavey personal that can answer questions when an issue arise.

If you’re amplifier was malfunctioning in which you stated you sent it to Peavey to get it repaired and wanted to know if I faced the same issues, you could have said so within the first post. Your gentle way of trying to find out created lack of information which left the impression you had no on hands experience using the amplifier.   

This leads to your quote below…

When I got it back this last time in addition to the noise it looked like the running lights were different – from what I could remember -so I asked. I'm not pretending anything.

If you had said this in your first post I would have given you a detailed response within my first reply. In our business we cannot beat around the bush. If an audio device is malfunctioning, we need to be directly to the point if we are seeking guidance.   

There is no lapse approach – I first had one problem, then another, then another. Peavey is well aware and it has been a joke getting this resolved. Yet – I do not fly into rant, just try to see if what I am seeing is a real issue, as in very low level noise in one channel – sluggish lights, etc. ...will seek elsewhere thanks, peace out.

Possibly you should have made a rant to Peavey for them to rectify the problem. This why, I said you have a lapse approach. Taking things in stride is not always the best way to manage a problem especially in the Professional Audio Business.
