Tom,

Some bass amps have extended frequency response. See if you can check 
the specs of your Peavey. If it doesn't go above upper bass or lower 
midrange, your e-kit won't be getting its due. Of course, none of 
this will mean a lick if the cabinets can't reproduce anything but 
bass frequencies. If you take the higher frequencies out, you'll lose 
a lot of the kit's life, even if you don't particularly care for the 
cymbal sounds. You'll also lose transients from the snare.
