Okay fellows, I know this topics has been covered before but I may have missed it.
I’m wanting to use one of my three Nashville 400 amps for smaller venues and less load.
For years I have used a rack system and will continue to use in the right surroundings.
Question: Who can update my NV400? I play Zane Beck’s E9/6 tuning, so I will need good bottom end lows along with good highs and mods. Reverb tank replacement? Best type/brand? Speaker? Best all around 15” speaker?
Will need plenty of power when needed. lol.
Split cabinets or not? I have road cases for complete NV400.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions and help.

I think Ken has stopped doing the mods, but who knows, he might do it. He sells mod kits on his website, or at least used to. I sent mine to him years ago for his intense mod. Not only did he change the opamps, but several other components. I don't think the kits included all the other parts.

Still doing mods for walk in customers only. Shipping is not only too high but too dangerous. Had Fedex destroy a well packed Nashville 400 chassis this year.

Just tired of the shipping abuse and lack of concern shown by shippers in general

Hello Ken, Where are you located? I may be able to deliver my amp to you. I would love to have a Fox fully modified NV400.
