Nashville 112 ?

[John Kalament]

Going to purchase a smaller amp to match up with my Sho-Bud LDG and was just looking for some Pros and Cons on the Nashville 112. I see now they're being made in China. Are the older ones made in the USA the better one to buy ?
Thanks to those who wish to comment.

As someone that has had some real bad experiences with newer post offshored Peavy products (mostly from horrendous Q/A) I'd avoid unless you can purchase from somewhere with a real good return policy like Sweetwater.

I'd recommend finding a clean older Made in USA Peavy Nashville 112. Also I don't believe the hifi op amp chip swap can done easily on the newer ones since the components are surface mount or the chips soldered on.

My only steel amp is a Made in the USA Nashville 112. I like it a lot.

It depends on what tone you want if you like the "modern" PSG sound made famous from the 80s 90s then go for it. If you want and older more vintage sound with some hair on it like the 60s Little Darlin' Lloyd sound to go with your LGD go for something tube but small tube amp and steel don't really go together since you'll need quite a bit of headroom.

I use a Nashville 112 that I got in '04 and it is the best amplifier I've ever used! I play a Jackson Blackjack Custom through the 112 and it sounds awesome! I'm sure mine was built when Mike Brown was still working with Peavey. My 112 has 80 watts of power, so it's great for steel!

I have a 112 ,they're good amps one does have to use an XLR line out to direct .mixer to be heard on the gig.,but it did work .
Something I have to get used to. They are lighter than the NV400.
