Nashville 400

Post by Roger Buchanan »

My Nashville 400 sounds like there is either to much reverb, or a cracked speaker. Reverb is shut off, and I don't see a tear in the speaker. I can't explain the real sound. It's like to much reverb or bass. Got any ideas out there?

I know very little about amp electronics but here is my story. I bought a used Nashville 400 about 6 months ago. It sounded like the speaker was cracked. I took to my authorized peavey dealer and left it off with instructions to install a new speaker. He called me two hours later and said to come pick it up. He said the magnet in the speaker had shifted (probably during shipping) and he reset it. It was a $20 fix and it has worked fine every since.

Sho-Bud S-10 3x1; Fender Lap/Floor Steel; Peavey Power Slide; Supro Lap Steel; Peavey Nashville 400;
pair of Peavey Vegas 400's; Peavey NV112; Webb 614E with matching extension cabinet; Fender Twin Reverb and 3 cats.

They laughed when I sat down to play, cause' somebody pulled my chair away...

Thanks for the reply. Now if I only knew where the magnet is I could maybe reset it. Got any ideas where it is or how to reset it.
Thanks
