Nashville 400 inputs

Post by Ken Karn »

When I plug two guitars into my nv400 the levels of the guitars drop off.
Is this "right".

From the manual: "The Nashville 400 has two inputs, one featuring high gain and the other one third as much gain. The High Gain Jack is
the input normally used, unless a signal from the instrument is overloading the input preamp. If your input signal is
overloading (distorting) the High Gain Jack, then the Low Gain Jack (-10 dB) should be used. Because of the unique
switching design of the input circuitry, the gain of both high and low jacks are preserved when instruments are plugged
into both jacks.
"

Thanx -not real technical, here.

When both are used, both inputs become Low Gain. Thus the reason for both having the levels drop off.

This is the way most Peavey's with dual input jacks work.
