Re: Upgraded to IPR's!
I really REALLY wish there was. I've heard of people invalidating their warranties by opening the units and putting black gaff over the stupid inside LED's.

Re: Upgraded to IPR's!
Technically, if you open the chassis, you've canned the warranty. Of course, if tech support gives you all the appropriate warnings, tells you to open it, outlines exactly what to do inside, and then tells you to close it back up afterwards, then your warranty probably wouldn't be invalidated. (You'll notice I'm not making any promises here... ;-) ) I do know that it probably makes a big difference exactly where you put the gaff tape in this unit. If you are careful to only cover the LED's and don't overly cover other stuff (thus insulating it and causing it to run overly hot and possibly nuke itself), I don't imagine there would be a problem.
This isn't unique to Peavey. Most any manufacturer will do the same thing because there are "No User Serviceable Parts Inside".

Exactly. Anything I can do to lighten up a bit here & there is a bonus to me. My FOH case was close to 60lbs, a pain for stairs, getting it into my truck etc etc. Now the difference is definitely noticeable!!

Re: Upgraded to IPR's!
That's a pretty good idea!!!
It's amazing what a little black e-tape will do:

Interestingly they use the same lights in the higher level Crest amps. Who needs lighting gear when you can just face a rack of Pro 200's out at the crowd.

Re: Upgraded to IPR's!
Just bought a 1600 myself.
blue lights aside, It's a nice amp for the money.
It also replaced a qsc PL. Great line of amps, but heavier and required a DEEP rack.

Re: Upgraded to IPR's!
Speaking of IPR's has any one actually seen any of the Crest Pro-Lite versions. Crest is at least talking about them again on their website but there not listed in the current products section.

Gotta hand it to Peavey for consistency in garish design.
Creepy-ass logo, now bathed in blue: "Whoa, Duuuuuude, now we're talkin'!"
