Thanks for all the answers in the previous topic but the question remain:
Should I replace the Nashville 400 with modification by a Nashville 112 or is that throwing money away.
I'll only play in my music room at home and the equipment never leaves my music room.

I haven't used the new Nashville 112, but if weight is not an issue I wouldn't do it. But, thats just my opinion.
I have a Nashviile 400, Session 400, Tubefex & Fender Twin reverb and I have a hard time decideing bewteen the Nash400 or the Session 400, THey all sound great but they have tonal differences. I hardly ever use my fender or tubefex. |

If I were you I would get another amp of pretty much any type, and go stereo.
I don't think either a Nash 400 or a Nash 112 would ever get past a volume analogous to a car idleing at a red light when used in your home.
Adding a Nash 112 to your Nash 400 would be fine, and if you ever needed to play a gig, you would have the fire power.
For home use only, you might consider something along the lines of two Fender Blues Jr.s with a stereo effects unit that provides reverb/delay.

I recommend the Nashville 112 amplifier. For home use, you won't ever reach its limits and it would be a good alternative if you didn't want to carry a large amp to a gig.

| I agree with Mike. I have a 112 and really love the tone. It has more fire power than you will ever use in the house and you will love the light weight! |

For Mike Brown:
Mike,
I've been looking at the 112 at our local Peavey dealer and was thinking it'd probably handle small to medium sized gigs. Which is about all I need to have.
Just wanted your opinion on that?

| I use my Nashville 112 on all our gigs. Over 100 per year and it has handled some pretty large clubs and outdoor gigs. Of course, we mic everything thru the board. Great little amp. Weighs in at 42 add 1/2 pounds. Love it. Jody. |

I've been using my Nash 112 as my only amp for small stage gigs (usually I run stereo with a Session 400).
Used it on an outdoor gig earlier this week.
The signal coming from the XLR out sounds great in the mains and my monitor mix! |

From an onstage point of view, I've used the Nashville 112 amplifier on a couple of gigs and the headroom was fine for me.
But, the Nashville 1000 amp has all of the headroom that "anyone" would ever need.
It's very hard for me to make any comment other than both amps will work great in your application. I don't know if there is anything else that is needed for steel guitar other than these two models.
I hate to say this, but you'll have to give it a try in your application.

I've been delighted with my 112. It's perfect for the theatre work that I do, and, since getting it, it's my first choice when I leave for work.
The only exception was one gig where I had plenty of stage-space available - I used it and my NV-1000 and had some self-indulgent stereo monitoring going on!
A fine product, in my view.

I own a Nashville 112 and am very pleased with the amp, but would like to replace the Blue Marvel speaker. Anyone have any suggestions as to a good replacement. Also, if anyone installed an 8ohm speaker, did the amp experience significant power loss.
Thanks |

The 112 is probably the perfect practice/rehearsal/small-medium club-size gigging amp. To my ears, in side by side listening in my living room, the 112 absolutely sounded better than the 400 in all respects. The top had more sparkle, and it was cleaner sounding. The bottom is not as deep as the 400 (probably due to the smaller speaker I guess) but it is much tighter and in fact sounds better. And the amp is a breeze to carry around.

Jeff, my 112 ain't no breeze to carry around. It would have been in my younger days but that sucker still feels like it weighs a ton. Still quite a bit lighter than my Nshv400. I am just so totally happy with the sound of the 112 along with the Hilton pedal. It just don't get much better.

Just did a two day outdoor gig at a bull riding rodeo/fair in a local town. I put the 112 thru the PA using the XLR out. Keeps the vol. on stage at a reasonable level, puts steel in monitors and mains. I had more headroom than I needed. It was as loud as I needed to be on stage. Coverage with PA is a no brainer. No need to carry a huge amp. If you like it's tone - it will work in most any situation.

| In my opinion...no! You already have one of the best sounding amps! To get rid of it and get a 112 would be pointless if you're not moving the thing around all the time. The only the advantage the 112 has is being smaller and lighter. It sounds good, but certainly not as good as a "modded" 400, by any stretch of the imagination, even in your house. |

| For home use, I don't see any point in replacing a NV 400 with a 112 in terms of sound. But the 112 does have some practice ammenities, such as a headphone jack. |

I think it sounds way better than a Nashville 400 with "the mod". But I don't think you need to change from what you have. You can get great tone out of your existing amp. The NV 112 has some really neat features not available on the NV 400.
Headphone output that cuts off the speaker.
The preamp out jack also funtions as a cd/tape input for rythym tracks.
Direct line level balanced output (3 pin XLR) for use on stage.[This message was edited by John Fabian on 26 July 2004 at 09:25 AM.] |

Thanks for all your answers concerning the NV 112.
Last week I had the opportunity to see,hear and play one.I was amazed, how such a small amp souns so good. Beautiful lows and highs, and in no time you have set the amp to give you a very good sound.The NV 400 with LeMay mod souds also good but different.But then (converted to dollars)$848 is a lot of money for a second amp.In the USA the amp is a lot cheaper.

Around 40 pounds I think. But just as important, they are compact. This may be Peavey's greatest idea since the original Session 400. In case you're interested, Bobby Seymour stocks them at Steel Guitar Nashville and ships them fast.

Speaking of the headrooom on the Nashville 112, I have my volume set on about 2. The place seats about 75 or so and we usually have a crowd of about 50-60 mostly older folks. So I would say I have plenty of headroom left in the amp.

I used a 112 in a 1000 seat auditorium last Sunday night. I am not as articulate as some of you guys are, but I was impressed, totally! It was in a church with about 500 or so there. Many compliments! The Minister of Music even shocked me by asking, "Have you ever been to the steel show in St. Louis?"
Excepting the bottom end, I believe the 112 to be superior to my unmodified NV400. |
