| I understand that the Nasville 1000 is no longer being made. What will take its place? |

Like any amp model, it runs its production life and it's time to redesign/update. Yes there is another steel amp model on the "burner", it takes time for R & D in order to make sure that it will sell.
It's definitely not because the Nashville 1000 is a bad design, but a manufacturer has to keep the interest of the consumer, and keep the sales alive. That's why new automobiles are introduced yearly.
It will be awhile before a new steel amp is introduced to the market, but there is new technology and new ideas since the introduction of the Nashville 1000 back in 1999.

| I am hoping that it will be available in a 220 version this time around. Too early to tell. |

I like my NV112.
It will be hard to beat unless maybe the wattage was brought up to around 100 watts.

The Nashville 1000 has been the benchmark sound in steel guitar for decades!
Peavey does some really stupid things sometimes, like not making a cover for the Nashville 112. The end of production of the 1000 is another example.
The wisdom of "If ain't broke don't fix it" seems to have bypassed the brains at Peavey.

The amp hasn't been around for "decades".
But, I can understand Peavey, they want to sell product and one of the best ways is to cease production on one model and introduce a new one.
The popularity of the Nashville 112 probably "did in" the Nashville 1000 more than just that the product had it's run. |

Mike,
Any chance the new Peavey steel amp will have a built-in delay and a separate reverb, so both could be used at the same time? Sure would be nice...

I've had a Nashville 1000 since their inception and it's been a great amp. Like the Nashville 400 & Session 500 did, another generation passes with the Nashville 1000. Peavey ain't like Fender, where their classic amp models come back as re-issues and live on forvever. Thats because they don't have that kind of heritage. But I do wonder if the value of a Nashville 1000 will be affected due to this.

Does that mean Peavey will not have anything available in this market segment until the new model is ready? |

Thanks for your input and comments concerning the Nashville 1000. Think about it...............technology changes on a regular basis, therefore we have to change.
We have had two steel guitar amplifier models in our product line since the early '70's. So, there will be a new amp model out to replace the Nashville 1000 in the future. Just like the computer industry, the MI industry has to innovate and improve products too!
Fender has introduced one in 25 or so years and there were no improvements from the last steel amp model that they introduced. I don't see many of those in use at the major shows. Every company has products that don't quite make the quota in sales figures, therefore those products are discontinued. We introduce new models every few years in order to stay current or ahead of the curve and current with the technological advancements. That's the way it works.
Just think, you loved the Nashville 1000 and the Nashville 112 amps. Now, what does Peavey have in store the steel guitarist? I think that you will be pleased and surprised.
Thanks for choosing Peavey! |

Because the Nashville 1000 never made it legally to the UK, I never got chance to try it. Peavey scored an own goal with their digital design that could not be exported to Europe in my opinion. I did try the 112 but it wasn't for me. I much preferred the Nashville 400 tone-wise.
There are still devotees over here of the Session 500. I didn't like mine for reliability reasons, but my NV 400 has not let me down in 28 years. I have now moved on to Webb because of its superior tone, but for value for money the NV 400 has been incredible.

Not Steel related, but just chiming in...
I've had a TNT 115 Peavey Bass amp since I was about 13, 18 years old and it's still working fine. In fact, I used to lend it to all my friends who were in bands, and they would takeit out and thrash it. Help up all these years...
Good work Peavey! |

Hi Ken - I have been lugging around a stepdown transformer for my NV1000 since the day I got it and it is a pain in the bum (the amp is great) --- so I look forward to the new amp being available in 220-240v ... My old Nashville400 was 220-240v so lets hope they do something for us ROW guys!
I'm sure there is technology available to have a "universal" auto-seek type power supply like rackmount effects units have.
Mike thanks for continuing to provide great equipment for steel players!

Hi Ken
I'm with you. The nashville 112 was a non starter for me. I would have thrown it up in the air and blown it away with a 12 bore. To me, all it was was a practice amp. No Balls, no energy, no vibe. My opinion of course. I loved the old session 400, 500 and the newer 400. Never tried the 1000 .The nashville 400 was too honky around the midrange.
Just my opinion gents. Chacun a son gout (I think they say).

You can dial out the exaggerated mid range on the NV400, but you have to use the MID and Shift controls to the extreme in order to do so. I thought the 112 was a bit like the emperor's clothes - couldn't see what the fuss was all about. Most players seem to love it so I thought it must be me. I have a number of friends who have bought 2 of them. I would rather carry around one amp with enough power for a live gig than 2 practise amps any day of the week. The NV 400 just blows the 112 out of the water from all perspectives apart from weight. Having said that, my Webb is vastly superior to any of my Peavey amps - period.

| Why would you take the Nashville 1000 out of production to the consumer if you have'nt even introduced a new steel guitar amp for sale to buy in it's place,would'nt your company loose money?The only thing i would change about this amp is to change from spring to digital reverb. |

Products have to be profitable(spell "sell") to continue building it. There are Nashville 1000's still available at some Peavey dealerships.
