I recently acquired a new 1000 and kept my 400 for a while as well. Then I sold the 400 and now only have the 1000, I think it's a fine amp but after using it for a couple of months the mids are driving me crazy..I want my 400 back. Am I nuts and standing on an island all by myself or are there other co-habitants on this island ? I am playing a Carter D10 with an E66 /10:1 and Goodrich pedal.
Bass 1:00 Mid 8:00 or 9:00, 800 shift, treble and pres about 1:00. Any thoughts ?

I have used both the 1000 and the 400 on various gigs for the past two years or so. I haven't used them at the same time, but I switch between the two and I haven't had any problem dialing in a preferred setting.
Depending on the room, my settings for the 400 are as follows. These could vary slightly.
Low-(+6)
Mid-(-6)
Shift-(800Hz.)
High-(+3 to +6)
Presence-(+3 to +6)
On the 1000, they are;
Low-(+3 to +6)
Mid-(-3 to -6)
Shift-(700 to 800Hz.)
High-(0 to +3)
Presence-(0 to +3)
The 1000 has our modification incorporated into the circuit. You didn't mention whether or not your 400 has the mod incorporated, but this will also alter the final sound. Even though the chassis screening is identical, you won't be able to use identical settings when using the amps.
Hope that this helps you. If you have questions, you may reach me toll free at 1-877-732-8391. Thanks for using Peavey gear.

| Hey Mike, maybe you could help me make my decision. I had two Nashville 400's. I just sold one of them thinking that I would buy a Nashville 1000. Now I'm having mixed feelings. I hear that the reverb is not quiet as good as the Nashville 400 due to it having two springs instead of three. And how about the Nashville 2000, what improvements will it have over the 1000? Any help that you might offer would be appreciated. |

Francis, if reverb's the issue. It's like $30 to get a three-spring reverb tank and swap it with the two-spring. Right Mike?

Brad, you could do that, but there were a couple of component changes as well with the Nashville 1000 reverb circuit when it was changed to a 2-spring version.

I use a 400 and a 1000. My Sho Bud sounds best through the N1000, it has a GeoL 10-1 pu. My Carter with a Lawrence pu sounds better throught the N400 w/ Peavey mod. In both cases the reverb is great, but I use just a little about 2 or 3 on either amp. I have no plans to get rid of either, I am satisfied with both.
Regards, Patrick |
