Hi All,
I have had a Nash 1000 for quite some time and after all the great reviews on the 112 I was seriously considering getting one.
I am very fortunate in that a very trusting friend has loaned me his 112 for a week to try it out.
I set the two amps side by side at home and swapped from one to the other for quite some time and I could sense very little tonal difference between them,the settings were almost identical.
Pehaps Mike Brown could answer this question,
Is the 112 a scaled down 1000?
I took the 112 out twice to gigs and it certainly handled everything E9 and C6,I wish they were out before the 1000,I would have got one.
I can't justify the expense of getting one because it is a little bit lighter,but I would certainly recommend this amp to anyone.
Best regards
Billy |

Billy, the Nashville 1000 and Nashville 112 preamp sections are basically the same. When designing a power amp(a digital design or analog design), the objective is to make it "transparent" so that the signal is transparent and does not alter the tone of the product. Speakers can be voiced differently according to the application. All of the above points pertain to the Nashville Series. However, one important spec that you want to consider is the difference in wattage ratings of the amps in question, ie; 300 watts versus 80 watts......big difference. For your gigs that require more headroom, use the Nashville 1000. The Nashville 112 can apply to other applications. http://www.peavey.com/products/shop_online/browse.cfm/action/final/wc/1A1B31/fam/1B3/c/1/nashville.cfm

| I did the same thing. I bought my 1000 about 3 months before I bought my 112. The 1000 inspired me to buy the 112. They are without a doubt the best steel amps I've ever owned. Trouble free. Clean, crisp, nice tone. I just hope Peavey continues to make them. The 112 works perfect for any situation. On those "stage volume" bands that don't use a big PA, the 1000 will sure get the job done. Just keep it below your belt line. You don't won't that sucker honking that 300 watts right in your ear. Lately I've been using the 112 nearly for everything. Get one, you won't be sorry. |

There is no indication that sales of the Nashville 112 and Nashville 1000 amplifiers are slowing down. As long as players support our efforts to provide you with the latest technology in steel amps, we will continue to manufacture them.
