...chocolate? I know, Nestles.
Who makes the best amp cover for the Peavey Nashville 112? I just got mine from the Carter people __ sounds great and very pleasingly customized. It's medium blue with a silver grill.
...looking for a cover that's both functional and good looking.
Many thanks in advance, Rick |

I got mine directly from a Peavy dealer for $20 or thereabouts. Why Peavey stopped making covers for the amps they continue to manufacture is a total bewilderment to me;m it just does not feel right.

| What Morton said. Tom not only makes great, durable, nice-looking covers, he makes them in several desirable colors! |

| I've seen some complaints about the way the knobs are exposed on the 112's. You might want to make sure the cover is designed to help protect the knobs. |

Depends on how you want to protect it. For over 30 years I have exclusively used covers made of a hard shell fiber custom made by Woody Woodell of Goodlettsville, TN. He himself recently retired from making them himself, but has a schoolteacher in Springfield, TN making them. They "drop over" like nylon or naugahyde cover, but then can be used as an amp stand. A nylon strap around the amp and thru the handle holds it on for transport.
An anvil case? No. But certainly as much protection as most of us need, and only a little more expensive than a soft cover. |

| Depends on what you like but I have to second Tom Palmers covers. You won't be disappointed with one. |

| I and several others in our steel club are using the Tom Palmer "D2F" padded covers for our NV112's. |

A strong endorsement from me for Tom Palmer's excellent covers! They're not cheap, but provide the perfect level of protection for my day-to-day use, and are substantial enough to protect those vulnerable knobs while transporting the amps by car. I have two - one for each of my 112s.
If I tour, and my stuff's going in a truck, then I have to use a heavy-duty road-case, but I also have a set of Woody Woodell's fibre-board cases (a two-piece steel case and another for my Steelers' Choice' seat).
I must admit that I've stopped using Woody's steel cases in favour of the Wheel-Ez that I find to be compact yet sturdy - I've also managed to get my Emmons accepted as 'carry-on baggage' since going to the Wheel-Ez.

| If you get a Tuki or a Palmer it will never wear out. If you're thinking typical vinyl ebay crap don't bother. I got a Tuki for my deluxe at least 15 years ago. It still looks perfect. Even my cats can't mess it up, and they have tried. As soon as I get an new amp I get a Tuki for it. |

| FYI. You can still order a Peavey cover(part #00477470 by calling the factory at 1-877-732-8391, then choosing the "Parts" option, or order through your favorite authorized Peavey dealer. |
