Looks like a capacitor in the power supply area which appears to be blown. It's rating can be found on the side of it and it can be changed. Question is, what caused to it blow. Typically something else in the circuit goes causing it to explode so there may be other problems.

This is a 120v amp. I suspect it to have been plugged in to 230v that we have here in Norway.. Do you think this may have blown something else? You can see there`s a mark at the chassis next to it so there has been quite some power I suspect..
Thanks for the input. |

That is a thermistor. They are usually installed in a power supply to provide high current protection.
A high current situation elsewhere in the amp probably caused this to fail.

| Sam that make sense. If I´m lucky it may have done it`s job. I`ll try to read off what it is. These thermistors, should I be able to find them on eBay ? |

I'd call Peavey's parts department to get that thermistor. But unless you're adept at troubleshooting the amp, you may want to just send them the chassis and let them fix it. They'll even give you an estimate before doing a repair, if you like.

Is that item a thermistor..........or a varistor?
I was not able to find any Nashville 1000 schematics on line.
The item appears to be near some big caps and diodes, which usually means something power supply related.
Varistors are used as overvoltage or spike protectors.
If it is a 120 VAC amp and was plugged into 230 VAC, then that could have damaged it. |

jam, yes thats what I belive too. I`m in Norway so I will not send it to Peavey.
I will try to figure out the part reading and replace it.
Thanks so far.  |

Tony got it.
A couple of things that you may want to consider, as insurance.
1) Look into a varistor or some kind of over voltage protection, if the possibility of plugging it into 220/240 VAC is commonplace. I believe that Mesa Boogie, among others, use these things. Another $1 part.
2) Find a way to make it very difficult to plug into a 220/240 outlet. I'm not familiar with European wiring, but I gotta believe that the plugs are different. Make it a difficult and deliberate act if somebody decides to do it again.
However, if this amp is your baby now, I suspect that you won't let this happen again. |

I bought the amp this way cheap.
The plug on the amp side are same as over here. On the wall side it is different. I have the "brother" the NV1000 which is the PX300. A Combo with power amp and speaker. It does not have the preamp section.
This is also a US but I have a step down converter from 230v to 120v. Works fine But extra weight... 
Thanks.
