My wife plugged into the amp and no sound! Bummer. I picked up the amp to move it and when I placed it back on the floor it sounded like a symbol clashing! And loud, too! Turning off the "Reverb" stops this and the amp also works. Turning "Reverb" back on and the amp worked this time, but still has loud noise when moved.
Is this normal to have all this noise when moving the amp?
TIA

Yes.
If it's placed down hard enough to move the reverb strings. |

Thanks for the help, Fred. Yes, the "spring-type" reverb is a mechanical device and when the amp is moved, these springs can clang against the inside of the reverb pan. This is normal. The way to get around this is to use a digital type of reverb and patch it into the post eq patch on the front panel.
Have fun! |

| Don, you shouldn't have to be getting that reverb crash yourself. Most bands hire a drunk bass player to stumble into the guitar amps for the classic reverb crash several times a night. It can be done anytime, but it's most effective while you're setting up, or between sets, when everything else is quiet and the audience can really experience the full solo effect. It will stop even the loud talkers at the bar, at least temporarily. It's a good way to find out if you have any loose fillings in your teeth. |

| My session 400 went over a set of stairs a while back, when a drunk girl leaned on it to shout something at me in mid-song. I was set up next to some stairs, with the amp tilted back on a guitar stand. I caught it a few stairs down, and had it set back up before the song was over. Biggest reverb crash I've ever heard. |

Don, the reason the new amp had no sound, could be due to a bad connection in one of the "patch" jacks. New equipment can very easily have oxidized contacts in the jacks.
I suggest you squirt some contact cleaner in the jacks on the front panel and insert a plug several times to clean them.
If the "no sound" problem happens again, connect a cable between the send and return jacks. If the amp works with the cable, it will prove that one of the jacks has a bad connection.
Another obvious problem could be that the guitar cord had an intermittent connection.
Enjoy that amp. I really like my NV112 since I learned to tweak the "shift" control for that sweet sound with my pickup.......JD
