Fiddle thru Steel Amp?, good fiddle amp?

Bill Fuentes · From: Garland, Texas, USA

My fiddle player is going crazy looking for an amp, he's been thru most of the obvious acoustic type amps, (Roland, SWR Strawberry Blonde, Fenders, Crate), I had him play through my NV 112 and it sounded better(to me) than those acoustic amps (good low end), he has a LR Baggs Fiddle pickup, and usually we run that thru his Fishman Preamp into the board, but we are just too loud for him, and he has to live on top of the monitors.

I have seen some gentlemen play through older Peaveys with 15" and they sounded pretty darn good to me, but that may be because they have better pickups/fiddles
bows, and touch, who knows

I have heard good comments about the Nashville 400 used as a fiddle amp. It would seem to me that the Nashville 112 would be a good choice. The musician should "fiddle" with the tone controls and find the settings that he likes with his fiddle. The 112 also has that handy "line out" on the back for connecting to the PA system. He could run his fiddle through the PA and use the 112 for his monitor.

Bill,my fiddle player used a Randall 300 with a fifteen in. electro-voice speaker.he must have tried at least 15 other amps before settling on this amp.i think this is the same amp that sonny(george's & tammy's) steel man used.it had a great sound and very dependable
