For the steel player wanting more high end with no sacrifice in the low end efficiency, this is your speaker. This speaker fits the need for our second steel guitar speaker offering for those wanting a lot of top end sparkle but still great mids and lows.
Available in 4 ohm and 8 ohm.

Ken,

I think it sounds great. Did the NV400 have any mods other than the 2134 chips? Is there any equipment in the signal chain other than steel>volume pedal>amp? Thanks.

Just a straight unmodded amp (no Peavey, Lemay or Fox mod) with a new set of Burr Brown chips. Just the guitar and a volume pedal were used.

Show Pro SD-10, BL710 pickup. Pot volume pedal, amp. sure 57 mic. Bass 1 o' clock, Mids 8 o' clock, shift, strait up, Treble 12 o' clock. presence 1 o' clock. Extreme amount of clarity from low to high on the neck.I carried it to a gig this weekend. It blew everyone away. The sound guy sat my eq flat in the front of house and could not tell me enough what a pleasure it was to listen to my rig? I was flattered. It was really honking by the end of the night. Very pleasing sonically. Seems like it takes longer to break a sica in. i'm seeing typically 40 + hours.They seem to project different that other speakers. It will feel a room with sound and its so efficient it makes 100 watts project like 200 watts. I've blown speakers but no matter how I try i've yet to blow a sica? Of course you cant please everyone. People like what they like and have certain taste. Variety is the spice of life. I would think after all these years i would be loosing sum of my hearing but I do believe it is actually getting better. Some nights I can hear the 110 volt cycles hitting the fan I have running to make noise so I can go to sleep. No matter who you try and pattern your sound after, no matter whose advise you take, or what hype you buy in to most every manufacturer working for us has a great product to offer. Its a close competition in sound reinforcement with a very narrow profit margin. Every player has their reason to do what they do, say what they say, and stand by their beliefs, kinda like sports. Ken and Ruth are jewels and i'm proud to have them in my corner.
