A week ago I received a Nashville 1000. I played Sunday night and was somewhat satisfied but tonight I could not get the muddy sound out of it. I realize there are many of these on the market but I wonder if all you guys and gals like the Nashville 1000 as well as the Nashville 400. I can tell a difference in the lows and reverb but maybe I have not played it enough to get the clean sound I am looking for. My Nashville 400 was in shop but I have been very satisfied with the 400. Any info would be appreciated including recommendations for setting the Nashville 1000.

Paul,
In the final issue of "Steel Guitar World Magazine", they did a tech report on the Nashville 1000. Included in the article were the settings that some of the major players used at a steel show that featured this amp. If you would like these for reference, please let me know and I will e-mail them to you.

Paul, Did you maybe use different cords when you tried the new amp? Some guitar cords sap a lot of the "highs".
Just to satisfy your curiosity, try substituting cords to see if you hear a difference. ....... JD

There "is" a reason for the muddiness, and it could very well be the cables, and/or other reasons. Keep in touch with your findings. It's not the amp though that is causing the muddiness.

I am using the George L cables I bought at the Texas show. I received some different settings from a gentleman which shows some of the pro steelers settings. I have not given up as of yet. I am still working and hoping to get the settings where they work best for me.

Thanks David for the settings you sent me. I am trying every one of them so see what is the best for me. I have received emails from some steel players with settings as well. I also spoke with Mike Brown from Peavey today and we discussed a couple of items. Thank you Mike for taking time out of your schedule to visit for a few minutes. I have used Peavey amps for years and plan on doing so in the future. Sometimes with something new it takes time to get adjusted to a different sound and I sure do not want to come across as a Peavey basher. Peavey has went through many tests to make amps for steel players as well as other instruments and they are to be commended for their efforts.
