Les, yes these old Buds are super simple since there is only one rod for each string's raise or lower. Just make a map of the which strings have rods and which pedal racks have barrels then pull them out. You could label the rods, but if you start with the longest rod at re-assembly and work backwa...

I don't think the string five issue is over-tuning, both the barrels on string 5 are slack. It looks like it's just stuck in the raised position. It's possible (likely) that the raise arm is pulled off the stop bezel. Look at the pic below, yours are the type on the far left. There are little slots...

With the small Allen screw on the barrel, slide the barrel until it comes in contact with the rack, then tighten it back up. Now the rack will pull the barrel when the pedal is depressed. Some of your barrels appear to be fully compressed at the spring. Not good. The threaded screw part of the barr...

Wow! Thanks for the quick replay - and will do a search - also yes I read about making sure the pedals were down when adjusting - although I didnt catch the reason - and you now have made that very clear. Thanks again! -Les

I got one of these Crate amps a long time ago new for $45. Works great and sounds surprisingly good. Line in, Headphones out. https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m30848302220/?gclsrc=aw.ds&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=2065351430&utm_content=t0&adgroup=83109536784&am...

A modern all-in-one that has headphone outputs is the Boss Katana that many are finding suitable for psg tone. https://www.guitarplayer.com/.image/t_share/MTY5NzY4MDAwNDMyMzgzMjM0/boss-katana-artist-mkii-gw.jpg Lock down with this. Lots of possibilities. If your Peavey has a decent sound out of the...

A Line 6 POD works very well for what you asking about, they have lots of effects and reasonable sounding amp models. You can find them fairly cheap on Reverb or Craigslist https://reverb.com/p/line-6-pod-hd/used . Just keep the NV112 in the corner for use when you need to be heard. The HD series h...

DV Mark Amps. Phones out, speaker defeat , MP3 Input, Ext speaker, Reverb. Very versatile. These are probably the most 'UNDERRATED' Wattage rated amps on the planet. They are clean as all get go. 50 watt head: 4 pounds https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/2808_DV__112_1.jpg 45 Watt Little...

I'm mostly using headphones ATM for a variety of reasons and wanted the best possible sound and the ability to use stereo effects, I tried a few multieffects units and headphone amplifiers and was not really happy with the headphones sound. I ended up with a DSL and Humboldt Simplifier not a cheap ...

When I need to practice quietly or even in total silence, I don't use an amp at all. I use a cheap audio interface (Behringer U-Phoria UM2), plug into that from my guitar, then that goes out into my computer. Headphones come out of the Behringer unit. It doesn't even need a program on the computer ...

I'm a rookie - Thanks! -Les

I am curious about why youâ€™re not supposed to use the headphone jack on the NV 112. Admittedly electronics always seemed like alchemy to me, but I do wonder why Peavey would put one on their amp if itâ€™s not a good idea to use it. I used to practice that way a lot and never noticed any problems....

You're not planning on using this because....why? https://bb.steelguitarforum.com/userpix2020-03/753_nash_112_1.jpg My AMP is from 2004 - so k - I have read on this site - that the sound quality is poor - so the best thing I can do is try it out first to see - yes - I guess I over reacted - Thanks ...

What seems to be the best small portable AMP for SPG (i.e. Roland Cube Lite? Roland Micro Cube - other brand?) to use with headphones for practicing?
