I did not get my NV 1000 off of 1 the whole night and that was too loud! I took it off the stand, turned it towards the wall and we mic'd it and then I could hear everyone else fine.
I never thought about using the low gain. How would that have sounded I wonder. Has anyone done that before?
Please advise. Well I guess I could try it. Duh!
Thanks |

| Was the gain set on 1 the pre gain or post gain? I personally don't really like the sound of the low gain input on that preamp; it just seems to lack the same punch as the high gain input. You can try it to see if it helps, but check both your pre/post settings and see if you can solve the problem that way first. |

Pre gain was on .75
Post on 1.5 or so?
I was told because of it being a Peavey it had to be that way. |

| When I was using a NV 1000, I played with several different bands with the master-gain on 6 and playing volume on 3. I kept my volume with the band's volume with my volume pedal. Had no problems with any band. All the bands mic'd all instruments..Sounds like someone in the band did not like steel guitar. Jody. |

It sounds like you may have one or more of the following problems...
A.) A powered volume pedal (which has the volume cranked 'way up)
B.) A bad volume pedal
C.) Or...you really haven't learned how to use a volume pedal
I usually run my amps wide open, or nearly so, and have no problem controlling the volume - even for home practice. |

Or the band plays at whisper levels.................
Try connecting the output of your guitar direct into the high gain input on the amp, bypassing the volume pedal altogether. This would tell you if it is the volume pedal or the guitar or the amp. Then, replace each of those items to determine where the problem lies.
I can be reached toll free at Peavey by calling 1-877-732-8391, ext. 1180.
Thanks for using Peavey,

Hey Mike
What problem?
I was just complaining about a good thing. The 1000 being too loud! It is doing what it is built to do. Yes I am now using the send and recieve for effects.
I am going to sell my 1000 and use my Express 112 with an upgrated speaker. It is all I need for now. When possible I will get another NV112. I believe the NV112 is much cleaner sounding anyway!
thanks |

well I'm pretty certain that the real rule is Don't Set the PRE higher than the POST .
Next time out set your Pre at 3 and your post at 5 or 6...keep your V Pedal at 50% and they may not even hear you at all 
It's really no different with any of the Hi powered Steel amps...thay can all be set to play very clean at a very soft volume... |

This is what I have always heard too (unless you were trying for an overdrive sound which I could never get very well). On my NV400, I always (almost) have my post on 10. The only time I lower it is when I play one small club where everything is miked through the PA and they use a direct box from my preamp out jack. I set it to 5 because they use a DI box and they get a terrible 60 cycle hum from my amp. The sound man has to mute my channel in between songs. I have since switched to using a mic instead. My pre is almost always set at 5 when I play my usual places. I use the first 3/4 of travel on my Goodrich LDR2 volume pedal. I have seen players using the 1000 at low volumes (and I mean low) with no problems. |
