I can't seem to find it now but, I think I remember reading that newer NV 1000 amps already have the necessary mods to sound their best. Is that the case, and is 5 years old new enough?
Thanks

Steve,
I hardly ever used my Peavey NV-1000 for the first 4 years I owned it. Mainly because I didn't like the sound. But about 2 years ago I started taking it out more and more on gigs and leaving my Webb in the band trailer. Well, the more I used it and the harder I drove it and pushed it - the sweeeeeter it started sounding. Mr. Bobby Boman told me to try this little trick. Just drive the hell out of that Nashville 1000 to cook-in the circuitry and you'll be pleasantly surprised with the outcome. 
Nick
BTW, Mine HAS NOT had any modifications done to it since I bought it brand new!

All Nashville 1000's already have the tone mod circuit installed at the factory. In other words, we have never shipped a Nashville 1000 without this tone mod kit. Hope that this helps.
Thanks for using Peavey products.

Thanks guys. I didn't think my amp needed any help but, I wouldn't want to miss anything. I have a new Lapking 8 string coming soon and I can't wait to hear it through this amp.

| They have lots of power, but it seems the bottom end is weak (for my tastes, anyway). If I were using one regularly, I'd add a stomp-box EQ to get more low end, though many players seem satisfied with them, as-is. |

Regardless of what model Amps. I'm using, don't mess with my Amps. I bought them for what they are and when I no longer like them, I'll find something that better suits my likings!

The common mod is to replace the 5 audio chips (4558) with a better chip, such as the Burr Brown chip.
I really do not think of it as a mod, however. It is no different than replacing the preamp tubes in your old Fender with a different brand that sounds better to your ear.
The N112 and N1000 have the same preamp circuit board. We have sold over 200 mod kits for these amps and people seem to like it!
Just my 2 cents worth.
Also every N-400 I have seen in the past that had the "factory mod" again did not have the Burr Brown chips installed, again using the cheaper 4558 opamps. However when you bought a mod kit to install yourself Peavey did include the same factory mod parts and the Burr Brown chips as well.
In the past year I have seen over 100 N-400 and Vegas 400 amps on my bench. I have not seen an exception to that yet. |

I put these chips in my Nashville 112s and now have them in my Nashville 1000. They really do make a difference in tone. the Burr Browwn chips take the shrill out of the highs.
