At the time I got the Nashville 1000, the 400 (with factory mod) was immediately relegated to a rehearsal amp. The 1000 had a tighter bottom and livelier highs. The same darkish middle, common to Peaveys, but not "boxy" sounding like the 400. Overall, a definite improvement. Since then, I got a 112, so the 400 is in a bandmembers house for rehearsals. IMO, the 400 just does not sound as good as Peaveys latest products.

Sam, you "did" describe a Nashville 112. Here's a link from our website;http://www.peavey.com/products/shop_onl ... shvill.cfm
However, when we designed the Nashville 112, the idea was to create an amp from a power amp design that was already being used in our product line. We selected the speaker and the preamp is identical to the Nashville 1000. If we would have spent the engineering time to "create" another digital power amp, the Nashville 112 would not be on the market now. Granted, it would make the amp lighterweight, but the amp would cost more due to a digital design. In addition to "creating" a small steel amp for rehearsal and small room gigs, we tried to keep the retail cost at what the Nashville 400 cost back in 1999, which was around $629.99 I believe, ie; a mid priced steel amp which is exactly what players were wanted. I think that we exceeded all expectations with this amp and we appreciate the support of it.
However, we always welcome input from our customers. It's our customers who help us in offering products at musician prices.

I've used a PX300, which has the same digital power amp and BW speaker as the NV1000, thru a Profex II, for a while now. When I went back and used my NV400 for a couple of nights, The PX300 hasn't been out of the basement! At least with my LeGrande III w/ BL710's, the tone I get with my NV400 is much better.
