Nashville 112 "Master Reverb" question

If you're basically using the Nashville 112 as a powered speaker cabinet by running another preamp, pod, etc. into the "power amp in" plug in the back, does the reverb operate or only the master volume?

Looking at the block diagram it looks like the reverb would not function when you're running into the power amp in, but I wondered why then they would call it "master"?

Well, the reverb is usually in the 2nd or 3rd preamp section. I've never seen one that's in the power amp. A "Master Reverb" designation normally signifies that it's working in all channels of the amp.

Don,
When you go into the power amp in on the back, the reverb will not be in the circuit. My guess on why it's labeled "master reverb" would be if you go from the pre amp out of one NV112 to another the pre amp in of another, the reverb on the Master amp would be the one to adjust for both units. Mike Brown, where are you?

Roger is rite, the reverb dos'nt work when using the power amp in, and as far as the "master reverb", i asume because it's the only knob that controls the reverb before it goes to the power amp.

Thanks for the replies, fellows.

I thought that was how it is from reading the "block diagram" online, but I'm really no good at reading those things.

The word "master" means that the reverb will effect the complete signal. On mixers, it would mean that it is the "master" reverb control over all channels. Why the reverb control on a Nashville is labeled, "master", I do not know nor does it make a difference in that case.

The reverb will not work if you plug in the power amp in, however, if you plug into the POST return on the front of the amp, you are in the same as power amp in, BUT, you get the Reverb.

Thanks for the tip, Bill, I had not thought of that!

I'm one of those guys that actually likes the NV112 reverb.
