| Ok I know a few of you guys will want to kill me but I just swapped a BRAND NEW Nashville 112 to a great guy named Steve Spitz from New Orleans. He wanted a 112[like a LOT of guys here] and I wanted OUT of mine as its guitar sound is DREADFUL!.. As a steel amp its nothing less than outstanding,but for a guy whose amps must do double duty beween E9 pedal steel and blues/rock guitar it did NOT have it on the guitar side of the equation. Steve had a MINT DELTA BLUES [All tube 1x15 Peavey combo] and we swapped straight up. This is the answer for me. Sweet warm TUBE sound. I am unlike many steel players... I just always dump every solid state amp I buy and ALWAYS revert back to tubes... I dunno... guess I should join the 21st century.. no? Anyway,it was a very good trade for both of us , I know Steve loves the 112,and I am back in retro tone heaven.. This one will occupy a place of honor along side its old Fender counterparts....... bob |

For my tastes, Steel sounds fine with a powerful solid state amp. Lead guitar requires a tube sound.
Since I do both I carry two amps.
I experimented with using a POD to get close to the Fender tube sound. I ran the Tele into the POD then A/B switched it into the Nash 400. The Steel A/B switched into the Nash 400 (without POD).
It was an OK comprimise, and the convience of carrying one amp was nice, but it wasn't the same. I really enjoy the sound of the Tele driving four 6L6s. That makes carrying the extra amp worthwile. |
