I am finally beginning to learn to play my Nashville LTD SD-10 and I love it. I do have a question regarding the settings of my Amp. I have never used an amp prior to beginning steel lessons. I have high gain and low gain inputs but wasn't sure which one is best. I also was unsure as to the common settings for the low, mid, high, presence, and master reverb dials.

Just wondered if there were common settings?

All tips greatly appreciated Confused

I would set all three in the middle, this is the sound of your steel...if your happy with that your done...if not start adjusting till you find the sound you like. I would plug into the high gain. hope this helps.

The key to getting a good sound with the Nashville 112 is the Paramid controls. The Frequency should be set around 800Hz and the Mid Shift somewhere on the minus side.

The Peavey manual has some suggested settings. There have been many posts on here about settings and people have listed their settings. A forum search will turn up lots of info.

My settings (my basic settings) are:
Use the High gain input.
Pre gain and Post gain are variable depending on how loud you want it but the Pre Gain setting should be lower than the Post Gain.

Low +9, Mid -3 and 800 Hz Both High and Presence approx +1

I recently installed the Ken Fox mod chips in my NV112. They obviously affect the sound of the amp. It would be great if someone with this mod would post their settings.

The only thing different I have done, at times, with my NV112 and the 2143 Op Amps is increase the Lows to +12 as the mod takes a little away from the lows.

Thanks very much Jack. Your settings work for me.

I removed the Fox chips I put in my NV112 about a month ago and went back to the original chips today.
From what I heard today after comparing both chips, Peavey had it right, so why screw with it.
No more mods for me.
Just my opinon of course, some love the chips.
They just aren't right to my ears.
This is no nock on Fox as he is great and his service is also super.

If anyone wants mine they can have them for $20 plus $3.00 Shipping.
Contact me through the Forum E-mail only.
1st one gets them. (SALE PENDING)

I've had good luck with the settings I've gotten from the Forum. Can someone explain in basic terms what the "Pre EQ Patch" and "Post EQ Patch" inputs are for? I'm not sure where my manual is, and I don't remember that it made much sense to me anyway. Thanks.

The Pre-EQ Patch accepts the insertion of your volume-pedal or an external-effects device before the signal is EQ'd. The Post-EQ Patch accepts an external-effects device after the EQ section, but; before the adjustment of the Reverb Section. The Rear Effects-Loop accepts an External Effects-Processor after the EQ and Reverb sections, but; before the Pwr-Output Section. _ _ _ When using the Pre-EQ Loop with a volume-pedal, plug the instrument directly into the Amp. Input Jack and adjust the Pre-Gain. Then adjust the EQ and Reverb and finally the Master-Volume control. For the cleanest sound, keep the Pre-Gain set lower than the Master-Gain. Fundamental proceedure for most Peavey Amps.

Thanks, John. I've got my pedal and one chorus/echo unit plugged into the high gain input on the left side of the amp. Is that not optimal? Sorry, I'm used to early 60s amps, this new technology is foreign to me.

That's ok, however; I'd run guitar to volume-pedal and out to effects-unit and finally out to the amp. I'd keep the effects after the v-pedal.

i'd run guitar to effects then to volume pedal. i've always put effects 'before' the volume pedal.

You can do that, but; it kills your effect short, if you turn your volume OFF too fast. If you use delay before the volume-pedal and cut the volume too fast, you will lose the delay-effect. I guess it's a matter of preference! I personally would not put effects and volume-pedal in the same connection. Generally, I think effects should go between the EQ and Reverb sections. (Post-EQ Patch or even better, the Rear Patch-Loop.

exactly...you have ultimate control over unwanted/unnecessary delay/slap.
