The Steel Guitar Forum

I just brought my Nashville 112 to my dad's band practice last week to show to my teacher. He liked it more then his Fender Cyber Twin which was surprising to me only because it has many different effects on it. I went back for my lesson on Wednesday and he had ordered one already! It was great.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Ryan Giese on 31 January 2004 at 10:42 PM.]</p></FONT>

I just got one and want to trade it!.. its great if you like Peavey amps,but I can't get Fender out of my head. I have been playing them all my life and always dump Peavey[solid state OR tube,, I've owned many of them],Traynor,Roland,Ampeg,newer Fenders, whatever,,in favor of blackface or silver face Fender amps. It must be a disease I have or something. 90% of the worlds steel players sound incredible with Peavey amps,and I can't get them to sound the way I want,, always go running back to fender stuff. I'm a real wierdo sometimes..... bob<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Bob Carlucci on 31 January 2004 at 11:19 PM.]</p></FONT>

Mike Brown-If Peavey puts that new lightweight Neodyium speaker magnet in the Nashville 112, I'll buy it! That , I understand would take off about 8 lbs or so, and then an old guy like me could handle it.

I would like to upgrade from my old original Wood Crate 65 watt amp with 12 inch speaker. It weighs 31 lbs.....al

Al, we may get to a point in the near future to offer the BW neo speakers individually...............and the price is gradually dropping. Give it time and thanks for the input.

Bob C., you and other tube junkies should try the Peavey Delta Blues (see my post on it). For me it is the tube equivalent of the NV 112. It only has 30 watts, but that is tube watts. And, best of all, it has a 15" speaker, allbeit a blue marvel (I think that's what it is), not a BW. This amp is only slightly larger than the NV 112, and weighs 49 lbs. (6 lbs. more than a NV 112, about 10 lbs. less than a NV 400 or NV 1000, and 35 lbs. less than a Twin Reverb!). It doesn't have line out, CD or headphone jacks. So it is not as flexible as the NV 112. But it is tubes, man.

I got it for home practice and acoustic jams, but it might have enough clean headroom for pedal steel on some low volume gigs, especially with an extension speaker. And as long as we are talking about running two amps - two of these babies would cover gigs up to moderate volume levels, and would be easier to lug around that a single Twin Reverb. But it is a different tube sound. To me, it sounds more like the Fender Tweed Deluxe family than the Twin family.

I would definetely prefer a Delta Blues over my Nashville 112! bob

Tony, I highly recommend the Nashville 112. Bobbe Seymour played his Push-Pull thru one he brought to our show weekend before last,and it was remarkable. I'm thinking about getting one myself. It's good for recording,because it has the XLR out in the back to got right into a mixing console.

Well I finally took the plunge today and went to Bobbe's and bought a new Nashville 112 and cover. Sorry he was gone when I was there (he probably planned it that way). Anyway, I can't wait to try it out tomorrow night. I am hanging on to my NV400 just in case. I sure hope it sounds good because it is so much lighter than the 400. I can get it in and out the car without causing a hernia (I hope). I don't play in any big places so I believe it will suit my purpose. Bobbe, if you are reading this, thanks for being there for us nobodies as well as the big boys.

I may be the first owner of Nashville 1-12 in Japan. 2 Nashville 1-12 arrived last December after 3 monthes waiting period.
The sound was great, it's worth of waiting such a long period.
One of them is used by our fiddle player.This amplifire is quite suitable for fiddle. Tone is sweet and crisp.
As the matter of fact,I changed the speaker from Blue Marvel to 1203-4 BW Super(Black Widow). The result is outstanding. The tone is surprisingly imroved.
Linearity of the total sound is much improved and Mid-Low became much richer and deeper.
I strongly recommend this .
This Nashville 1-12 has totally enough power for the ordibnary venue in Japan.(Ordinary live house in Japan is much smaller than in the States.)

Thanks for the support guys and gals. I knew that you would like it.

How does the 12" speaker handle C6?

I've just bought a BRAND NEW Peavey Nashville 112 @ (£499) (OVER $900 US) and although it's a great amp for the studio and the average club, I play in large ballrooms and Country festivals..so... it's not really suited for me... It was just an "impulse buy" ... any way, I would be interested in a swap for 2 15" Black Widows in cabs.

The Nashville 112 was never marketed for large halls. However, when used as a "monitor", it will do fine. Players have told me that they play in a live band using C6th tuning and the amp performs fine too. However, it was never marketed for the application.

I'm sure that the amp was marketed as Mike says , BUT, I find it somewhat "Constricted" in it's dynamic response and rather strange in the high frequencies...I've tried ALL possible permutations of inputing the steel... all to no avail.. even using the Profex as a pre-amp and just using the Nashville 112 as an power amp and speaker...Am I doing something wrong expecting it to have a comparable frequency response to a Profex11 -DPC-750 and 2 X 12" speakers. The speakers I use are only rated at 75 watts each so I have to be carefull how I drive them... Having said that I can't see how the frequency respose should be SO DIFFERENT when just using the Nashville 112's final stage.
Any Suggestions.

BTW the Consumer's rights here in the UK would allow me to return the amp and get a refund... I don't want to do this as I asked the store owner to order it in specially for me .. You see I bought the amp "Unheard" I was relying on the positive things I had seen here and in other forums about the amp.
I'm SO SAD about the whole scenario.

I just got off of the phone with Basil and he was very nice, but took my reply to his post as "negative". My reply was in no way intended to be interpreted as negative, only an explanation of what the Nashville 112 was originally marketed for. I can put myself in Basil's place, ie; not being able to hear something before you buy. His input was appreciated, but again, it was in no interpreted to be negative, if anyone else took it that way.

Thanks for the call Basil.

100% correct Mike..... no problem whatsoever.... It just doesn't suit MY style of playing... The conclusion I arrived at is that the amp and speaker "Voicing" is primarily aimed at the "Country" sound whereas my style is more of the "Hawaiian Swing" type of sound ....
It's back to the "Oh so Heavy" rig.

Thank you for your input and for understanding the intent of my explanation.
