Peavey Pro-fex-- What are some good settings?

Pete Myers · Post by **Pete Myers** » 30 Jan 2002 11:17 am

I just aquired a 91 Peavey PRO-FEX effects pre-amp. Would like to hear recommendations for setting up effects and parameters. I'm using it with a Nashville 1000. Look forward to hearing your comments!

I guess I'm about to show my lack of paying attention....... but, I thought the "Nashville 1000" had a built-in effects package. If this is true, why do we need to drive it with a "Profex II" ?????

Please dont get me wrong here,I have a "Profex II" I use in a rack-mount system. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

(BTY) I find useing any setting beween A-0 and A-26 will cover 90% of playing needs)

Now while I haven't roadtested a "1000", I have heard them on several occasions and thought they sounded good.

If I'm wrong here, I'll just craw back into my hole.

The 2000 has the built in effects. Do you have the Newman settings in yours? I think Bill was referring to thoses settings.
As the sound of the Nashville 1000 is much different than the Nashville 400, you might have to tweek the settings a little to your taste. It's not hard to do, if you need a manual it is available on the Peavey site.
If you don't have the Newman settings, find someone with a card to load them in for you, they are great.
Just a side note, pull the top off (six screws) and take a look at your battery (blue or aqua colored). Make sure it is not leaking or growing blue fuzz on one end. If it is, it's time to replace it.

I had forgot about the early one, good call on that one. I know you can not midi the system exclusive dump from a Profex II to a Tubefex or other device (I tried it, won't work, the Device ID for the Profex II stops the other device from reading the message). I was able to use a card from a Profex II and dump the Newman settings into a Tubefex. Just thought that might interest someone. Best of luck on the Profex. I think Jack Stoner has the Newman settings on his site for print-out. It would be easy enough to manually enter some of the useful settings.[This message was edited by Ken Fox on 30 January 2002 at 03:19 PM.]

Pete, check the Jeff Newman Profex II programs on my web site. I think they will work, or mostly work, on your older ProFex. You can download the listing for reference.
