problem with nashville 400 reverb

[Jack Stoner]

Check the reverb I/O connector. It is usually the source of most reverb problems on that model amp. The reverb I/O connector is a white or cream colored nylon connector and is located on the underneath of the amp chassis. You will probably have to take upper back cabinet cover off to get at it easier.

Peavey uses a Molex (brand name) connector. Many times there is poor contact between the male/female pins and hitting them both with contact cleaner usually solves the problem. Occasionally one of the female pins will become slightly enlarged and does not make tight contact, CAREFULLY bending the female pin so it's diameter is smaller fixes the problem.

There could be another problem, but 99% of the time it's in that connector.

The reverb on my Nashville 400 ain't nuthin compared to the one on my Twin Reverb. I don't even use it. I use the reverb on my Digitech 256 XL. I sure like the rest of the 400 for my steel though.

I was playing my Tele through my Twin yesterday and what a sound with nothing but it's reverb set on five.

Do most owners of a 400 like it,s reverb?.

Since power is instantaneous when you turn the amp on, you might hear various degrees of "pop" or turn on transient. This is very normal. However, as amplifiers age, some caps can leak and require replacement.

I checked with our techs and we have never had to replace a speaker due to turn on or turn off transient. If a speaker is blown in our amps, it is due to user abuse or DC on the output.

Hope that this helps.
