I am just curious to hear from other owners of this amp what your tone settings are. I used a Session 400 for 20 years. I still love the tone. I bought a Nashville 1000 and feel it is muddy and too bottomy. I have tried and tried to get my tone. INcreasing the lows is what Peavey recommends. I can't play that way. I put the lows on minus 6 and the midrange on about plus 1. The highs are almost pinned and when I play with the tone in any way it becomes too fat and not bright enough. I would appreciate some feedback....
Thanx in advance...........  [This message was edited by Ron Sodos on 08 February 2004 at 02:20 AM.] |

This guy told me to do it this way and it works pretty well (w/ Matchbox 7A before it)
Lows at 3 o'clock, mid facing it at 9 o'clock, shift at 800, and the rest set to your liking. I think there is a relationship between the mid and shift on there and you pretty much have to mirror (reverse) on one what you do on the other. i.e. if your mid is at 9 o'clock, your shift should be at 3 o'clock. hope this helps |

Like a lot of good amps, the tone controls are fairly interactive. I would disagree that you need to "mirror" the shift and midrange controls, basically the level knob cuts or boosts the midrange, and the shift knob changes the center frequency of that cut/boost, which will be different for different guitars. Many folks seem to like the sound best when it's cut a good deal in the 750-850 HZ range. Experiment! Also, Ron, try experimenting with the balance of the input gain and the Master- it really changes the response and tone of the amp. I've been getting a very good sound using the input volume low, 21/2 to 3, and the Master fairly high. I think these are great sounding amps.

| Ron, Mark is right. I looked at my amp and actually have the shift on about 800. He is also correct in the sound differences you can achieve by playing with the pre and master gains. For a while I thought something was wrong with my amp b/c of the distortion I would get w/ the volume pedal full on. The problem was the pre was higher than the master. Clean tones can be achieved with a lower pre and a higher master (I think). Good luck, anyone know what size casters fit inside the N1000? I want to make it as non-permanent as possible. |
