Peavey Nashville 1000
My Nashville 1000 is acting up.It is sizzling when I play.The tone is not affected but when I noticed this
noise I thought it was the snare or something on the drum kit.Somebody suggested that the silver dustcap may be loose but it looks very secure.This is not a hum it is a high frequency buzz or vibration like a silver necklace on a glass plate.I am having dificulty describing the sound accurately but I hope you get the idea.My question is: does this mean the speaker is blown?Any other possibilities I can eliminate before
trusting it to a tech.
This amp has been very reliable for 5 years and hundreds of gigs and is my main backline.I use it with a terroidal transformer stepdown from 240v to 110v.
Any help would be appreciated.

Could be dirt in the air gap groove where the magnet bolt's on to the basket of the BW speaker. I recently got a NV1000 for a great price due to the shop thinking the speaker was bad and it took all of 10min's work to fix it. The voice coil is suspended in the groove and any crud that collects can make it sound like it's blown. There should be a post you can search for that gives a step by step on how to clean the gap. Good luck.

I had some respite from the speaker noise but it returned 3 weeks ago.I am not too handy with amp repairs so I left the amp in the corner until I decided to ship it or try to do it myself.I removed the 3 bolts and lifted the magnet.Lo and behold a small screw from the cabinet was stuck on the magnet.It was out of the amp chassis above the speaker.It was tricky getting the magnet positioned but with careful handling I got the bolts tightened up and the amp is back to normal operation.I got the instructions from this forum and learned a little about my peavey speaker.It was not the molex after all.

A small wattage (20 or 30 watts) iron and some rosin core solder and you should be able to change it. Only problem, if I remember correctly you will have to loosen (take the knob and nut off) all the pots to be able turn the preamp board over for soldering. You should get the exact replacement from Peavey, so it will line up correctly, match, etc.
