I keep seeing this amp as the one everyone is using now, or it seems. Do you have to put anything with it? I mean as far as delay, or compression, or is it stand alone? Thanks again from everyone for all the great info!

Do a search for the NV112 on the Electronics section. Lots of posts about it.
I use a POD XT for reverb and delay with my NV112, although it has the standard spring delay. |

Hi David, as Sonny said "Great amps" but as most I used an out board Reverb/delay box. In my case a Boss Rv3. I have since reverted back to an amp with a 15 inch speaker. Just my preference for the lows on my S-12 universal.

Go to www.jimeatonmusic.com and see photo's and user comments about the "Knob Guard", IMHO it's that only thing you need to add to a NV112.

| I used an NV 112 until I went to pick with a forum member and played through his NV 1000. It really made a huge difference to play my GFI through the 15 on the 1000. I could not get the same lows on the 112. It was a nice light amp but it didnt give me the lows I wanted.....James |

Yes, but I remember when you could say the same thing about...
Standels
Twin Reverbs
Session 500's
Session 400's
Nashville 400's
Session 2000's
Nashville 1000's
and...the Steel-King
Of course, some of that is just fad. When a new product comes out, there's a significant percentage of players who just have to jump on the bandwagon and buy one! I think the rationale is something like this...
"He sounds better than I do...it's gotta be his amp!" (Or guitar, or pedal, or bar, etc., etc.)

| I am afraid i agree for the most part with james on this one. And i have voiced my opinion on this amp elsewhere on the forum. As i play C6th, i just didn't get the lows, even at low volume out of this little amp. I have since put a Black Widow 12" 4ohm speaker in it. Didn't add much weight at all, and it can handle the bottom much much better, and i have added head room. In all fairness, i asked Mike Brown if he thought this amp would work for me, he adviced me he didn't think so. But i was given the amp new as a gift, and it is just dandy for church. But for any serious jams, or public playing. I use my fender Steel King or my Webb. I also use my Boss DD3 delay, Boss phaser,compressor,and the onboard spring reverb. |

| I use a Peavey TranstubeFex with mine and I think it sounds great.If you get into a situation where you need a little more power just set a mic. in front of it.The band always sounds better if everythings running through the house speakers anyway IMHO. |

I'll have to agree with George" the amp is fine for home use, but take the big guns with you on stage.
IMHO Peavey hasent built a better sounding amp sence the Session 500.
I know it's 90+ pounds but I love the sound.  |

| This is a great amp. It's light and sounds good right out of the box with the suggested settings in the manual. After lugging around a Twin, this is a pleasure to take out and it sounds better. |

The N112 is No fad! The reason it seems everyone is using it is because they are. I've had one since they came out ( 2004 I believe)....I have since sold My N1000....and I bought a FSK this past Xmas, and it sits in My living roon, 'cause I still take the N112 to Gigs. Maybe Its because Everything in my Band gets Mic'd thru our huge JBL system....But that N112 sounds great. I have to agree with John Macy's post in Electronics.....I"ve been thinkin about gettin a ValveKing 112 and using them in Concert (pun intended!) JD

| It's a good medium-powered, lightweight, nicely priced, clean playing, solid-state steel amp for country. It might not have adequate power for loud stages, especially for C6 or 12-strings. Some people deal with that by using two NV112s. It is still a 12" speaker with a different voice than a 15". Some of us prefer tube amps. |

I've been using the 112 for a good while along with Brad Sarno;s Black Box> I've had many studio guitarists comment how good it sounded. I also used it at the Irish Steel Show (along with a few pints of Guinness) It sounded great there and I didn't have a Black Box. I believe this amp is much more than a fad. Peavey has come up with a great little amp although I would reccomend two for loud live playing.

The Nashville 1000 outranks and outplays the 112, so if weight is not a factor, get a 1000. Otherwise get a 112 as a close second.
