I would like to hear from someone who is also using the 112 for lead guitar as well as steel. Thanks. Bill |

It's pretty sterile for lead guitar. Too clean with no cool overtones or compression. Probably a good clean jazz guitar amp, but for country, rock, blues type leads I'd argue that you still need tubes or at least a real cool drive pedal before the amp. The 112 is killer on steel though.

That's what I've found - great with my Gibson 355, but doesn't speak to me with the Tele....
My #1 steel amp, though! |

Doesn't the Nashville 112 have a master volume? Can it be naturally overdriven? If it can, a different speaker might improve the sound. |

Unless you are playing Pantera, tubes rule for most 6 stringers.

Insted of overdriveng the amp with the Master Volume, I would use something like a Tube Screamer, or one of your other favorite overdrive pedals. I used a tube screamer with mine and it helped, but still couldn't come close to my Tweed Bassman, or my little Hot Rod Deluxe. Looks like I will be sticking with a 2 amp stage setup.

Anybody know how it does for a 6 string with a Pod in front of it?

That input is definitely set up for overdrive. Even if you could get it to go dirty, it's not going to be the kind of dirt you're looking for. That amp is a clean machine.

Webb, it will sound much better with a POD. It has the amp modeling feature which should make a huge difference.

I've finally gotten a keyboard that has a real good mono piano sample, so I'm anxious to try a 112 and see if I can get away with it for psg, Dobro, guitar and piano. With the Pod, it hasn't seemed to make any difference what I play it through, so if the piano sounds okay, maybe I can finally eliminate dragging a stereo rig around with me.
