How about an "LAL ankle lever"? It would eliminate the possibility of pressing a pedal at the same time, which may or may not be desirable.

First, you should determine is your second computer capable of running Windows XP Home, and, how 'limited' and environment will it be for XP?

Hey Wiz -

I just wanted to say thanks for your good advice regarding XP SP3. I 'played in the fast lane' and applied it to my home-built AMD box an hour ago without any backups, etc. I figure I c ...

I have to agree with LaVern. Although I'm a newbie (barely 6 months!), I experimented with my NV1000 based on information on this forum and plugged the volume pedal to/from the pre-eq jacks on the fr ...

It appears that the 'original' auction indicated here was actually a rip-off artist trying to scam somebody.

Sounds like the gap may be the problem.

I'll give it a shot!

Many thanks for all your help!

Lately, my (bought used) Peavey Nashville 1000 has been making a raspy buzzy sound...like that of a torn speaker. By lately, I thinking about a month...give or take. I remember torn speaker sounds f ...
