| I just had to tell you all that I purchased a new Nashville 1000 this week, and I really love it. Great amp! Not only does my steel sound great with it, but I recorded with it this week using the low direct out on the back, and it was great. |

| To Nashville 1000 owners : Did you have to EQ the 1000 much different from the way you EQ'D the 400's ? Jody. |

Scott, glad you're enjoying your amp. I got one last year and I'm really happy with it.
I'm interested in your comment about the line out on the back. I've been using it directly into the board, but I really have no idea what it sounds like out front. When the soundman says "everything's great", I'm never sure whether or not to believe him 
Jody, I end up eq'ing mine very close to the settings from my old Nash 400. The mids on this amp are alot more palatable, imho.
-John

Thanks for writing guys. After a week, I am still in love with the Nashville 1000. As far as the line out on the back, and going directly into the board, your sound out front should be great........providing you have a sound man that know what a steel should sound like. I think a good starting point for the sound guy is to set everything flat and make sure he isn't adding any extra effects. One thing to keep in mind, all the adjustments you make on the amp are also going to the board. As far as settings, I am setting the low at +6, the mid at -6, the shift at 800, the highs at just under +9, and the presence at +9. This is pretty close to what they recommend.

| If you haven't tried it yet, run your volume pedal in the pre EQ patch. You'll hear a noticable improvement in tone. |

We at Peavey Electronics appreciate your support of our products. I personally feel that the Nashville 1000 is the "best" sounding amp on the market for steel or fiddle. I had two local fiddlers try this amp and it sounded great! Hoot Hester is a Peavey endorser for this amp also.
Again, thanks for your support. |

You have to remember, when you're going
from your preamp output into a mixer for
PA or recording, you will (in effect) be
playing thru "full range" speakers which
will tend to accentuate the highs abit
more than the 15" speaker in your amp.
That frequency range of that speaker is
usually up to 5 or 6K...& a PA or even
a set of head phones will go up to 20K.
So you might wanna compensate a little.

 Feelin' tense???...Pick some STEEL!!!

I agree with Jay,
Even playing a Steel thru the Mixer board will rise the high end of the EQ a lot.
I sometimes use a DD-3 direct to the Mixer-board and it is different than thru a amp, or even the line out jack of the "Nashville 400". Both seem to actually Pre-amp the sound a lot, makin' the hi-end freq stuff a bit undesirable.
A note here;
The signal for the "Booster" out jack of the older 70's "Sessions" is not taken from the same place as the newer "Nashville 400" and such amps, so I cannot attest for the difference in the percieved tone of one to the other.
