session 115

Post by Kevin Rickert »

Anyone have any opinions of the session 115? I'm not a peavey guy but the 112 sounds better than any peavey i've ever played through, just not enough power. Wondering how the 115 compares to the 112. I play through an old Evans that needs some work and need something that will sound almost as good with plenty power till I get it finished. Appreciate any reviews from players using one, Thanks in advance!

I remember seeing a live track on YouTube of Eddie Lange playing a Peavey 115 and it was awesome. If I can find it I will post a link.

I heard one at at a steel jam. Sounded like any other Peavey steel amp.

I had a NV112, never had a not enough power issue. Even used it on the road.

I can’t imagine a situation where a 112 isn’t loud enough.
Some of you must play really loud, or at least louder than I can imagine.

I played plenty of large venues with mine without maxing out headroom.

I have both a NV400 and a NV112. The 112 volume and master controls are not set as high as the 400, and is more than loud enough. I do prefer the sound of my 400 over the 112, but have been using the 112 for gigs. I would like to hear my 112 through my 400 speaker (1502) though.
