Hi gang. I have a question about the placement of my volume pedal (Goodrich L100) in the signal chain.
The 112 manual suggests I run the volume pedal in and out of the Pre-EQ Patch and run the steel directly into the high gain input. When I do that, though, the volume pedal doesn't go all the way off when I close it. The pedal closes completely when I go PS>volume pedal>high gain inpur, but isn't it preferable to run it the way the manual suggests? Not a big deal, but you know...Thanks for any and all help.

That is the I run my L120, through EQ. According to Peavy it gives a truer signal and does not affect your tone. I've tried both ways and prefer EQ patch. VP should not control loudness only the length of signal. That is the way that it was explained to me. YMMV  |

| Yeah, that's how I'd like to run the chain, too. But my problem is that for some reason when I set it up this way the volume pedal (it is a 120 as well--don't know what I was thinking) doesn't shut off completely when I do. That's the problem I'm trying to solve. Anybody else got an idea? |

You just need to adjust the pot's travel. Loosen the string and adjust the pot shaft so that the pot is all the way off in the toe-up position. Then re-tighten the string.
Also, make sure that the pedal's mechanical stop point is what stops the pot's travel and not the pot itself. You don't want the pot to be what causes the pedal's travel to stop. That will destroy the pot.
Hope this made sense.

I run the effects only thru the patch and the vp between amp and guitar.
Did this because of having both my steel and tele plugged in at same time ,occasionally.
Didn't like the A/B box thing , but did like the tone.This was only for small jobs tho.

| Leave it connected to guitar, remove bottom plate and loosen screw that holds the brass spool , use a slim flat screwdriver and go through the side of pedal and adjujust the pot to your liking. You don't have to mess with the string by this method. |

| The manual only tells you to do that because they naturally want you to use all the whistles and bells they built into the amp. If you never read the manual you would use your own common sense and hook it up like most eveybody who does NOT have a NV112 does, and you would not have this problem.... |

| Thanks, folks. I think I'll give Ray's trick a try. Still mystified why the pedal goes to a full stop in one setup and not the other. |
