I know this question has been hashed over numerous times, but here it is anyway:
What is a good, light-weight solid-state amp for steel, to perform in small venues, un-miked?

The Nashville 1-12 is the best for that application in my opinion....JH in Va.

I agree with Jerry. There are a few smaller practice amps but I don't think they will have enough output for a gig. You can't beat the Nashville 112. I have used it in some big places and it has always come through. It weighs around 42 lbs..

Hi NV112 Fans,
I tryed the NV112 before and I was not complete assured.I missed the tone warmness and so on.
Try a RE 200 Evans amp and you'll get everything from both worlds. The RE 200 is positiv different. A step in a higher class.
A very light, small amp. I'm sure, it's the smallest amp you can get for steel and guitarwork with that kind of watts !!
Without any compromise.Nice warm tubelike rich tone, great tone-setting possibilitys AND the best point small/light WITH 200 WATTS!!!
All musicians who tried or listen are amazed about the sound from this custom amp. Crisp,warm-bassfull powertone tone with a perfect string separation. You can hear everything.
Great ability to assert.
I use also from time to time 2 15 cabinets with a two 80 watts poweramp and also I worked longtime in the passed with two Nashville 400's,a mesa boogie studiopreamp rack between.
I tell you, the little RE 200 is the WINNER in tone, sound, features,custom quality and of course the light weight.

| Yes, the Evans "Parlor" amp is good too, only a little pricier. |

i have a session 400 and a nash 400 i like them both. if your concerned about weight try what i did put casters on them. they roll anywhere. i use a 2 wheel hand truck to cart the rest of my stuff in. you can never ask a question like that and make a decision on what your told because some like the 112 some don't. you have to make up your mind on what you like and go from there. didn't mean to offend any one. thanks doc.
