Question for Mike Brown using Nashville 1000

[Bill Sampler]

Mr. Brown

I have a Nashville 1000 and I also have a POD Pro. My question is regarding using the power amp / pre-amp patch in the back panel of the 1000. If a connection is made to these two patches, i.e. using the POD as a pre-amp, is the pre-amp section of the 1000 disabled?

Thanx for all your help as well as everyone on the forum!

Bill,
The only way to bypass the Nashville 1000 preamp is to plug the output of your POD into the rear panel POWER AMP IN on the back panel of the 1000. This will feed the signal through the power amp and to the speaker of the amp. All other loops are part of the preamp circuit.

Thanks for using Peavey products.

Mike,

Thank you very much. This is exactly what I needed to know! I love this amp!

Mike:
I just purchased a Pod xt, and want to try it alone direct, and as a preamp with my Nash 1000. So for clarification, the chain might look like this using the 1000:

Guitar > vol. pedal > Pod > Power Amp In

You wouldn't actually be "looping in" the Pod because you're plugging the guitar into Pod's only input. Is this correct?

[Earnest Bovine]

Does the Pod XT have an efx loop where you could put a volume pedal? In other words I would like :

Guitar > front of pod > vol. pedal > back of Pod > Power Amp In


where front of pod means pod's compressors, level-driven efx like envelope filter etc, overdirve, amp emulations, etc

and back of pod would be delay and reverb etc

[Randy Pettit]

Pod xt does not have an effects loop, because it is an all-in-one effects processor/preamp/DI box/amp modeler. You can place it before your amp in the chain, or in your amps effects loop, or the "power amp in" I presume, but Pod has only one input and two stereo outputs (L/R). I'm definitely going to need to free up some hours to play with this thing...

[Mike Brown]

That is correct, Randy.

Is it not ‘TRUE’ that if you place a pre-amp ahead of your volume-pedal, and then from the pedal-Out to a power-amp., you will also amplify the scratchy volume-pot? Just my past experience!

Big John.........

I think you got that reversed.
If the pre-amp is in front of the V/P, you will have a much higher signal level applied to the V/P,thus almost eliminating all scratchy demons.

Now, If the V/P is in front of the pre-amp....... Guess what ? We amplify the noise generated by the pot also !!

As a Tech, I have made a rather supriseingly observation..... MOST of the noise is generated not from the V/P itself but from the two piece houseing. When the two metal pieces are actuated, it causes a very small amount of current and voltage to be generated. this in turn is passed on to the amp and ampified as V/P scratch.

When I replace a pot for customers, I also place a strap to connect the two houseing pieces together,sorta like when we used to use a grounding strap from the motor block to the fire-wall of cars (You older guys know what I'm saying here)therefore makeing the pedal a one-piece device.

Unless the pot itself is just wore out, this will elimate most scratchy problems. One can even use the cheaper "Mexico" pots with out a problem.

Another thing I have found out is that if the bottom of the pedal is enclosed with a medal plate of some kind,that will also decrease external generated signals.

Just my 02cents, for what its worth.
