I have a couple questions, I need a good steel guitar
back up amp (I've plenty of 15 in speakers), any suggestions?
2nd question, I turned on 2 different amps today and a radio station was bleeding thru, louder than my guitar?
Last time that happened was in the 70's, I was doing rock music in H.S.playing through a Kustom amp. Thanks in advance.

Use a Hilton pedal, it has built in filters to keep such radio frequencies from getting in the way.

Second, I would get a new Peavey Nashville 112. We have them in stock for $699.99 and free shipping.

Next step up is a Peavey Session 115 for $1399.99 MAP, FREE SHIPPING

Thanks for the insight, I have a Hilton pedal and an
112 from when they first came out. I was not using the hilton at the time of interference nor the nashvile 112.

I had a Session 500 that would rectify my neighbor's ham radio. We (the ham and I: I looked him up at the library, after hearing his call sign so often in my room-W3REZ) and we surmised that the voice coil was the antenna, RF traveled backwards through the power amp and got rectified at the output of the preamp. We solved it by turning the amp. Tres weird.

A few members who are using the Boss 'Katana' series amps have posted some positive feed back. Light, compact, and relatively inexpensive.
