??? for Mike Brown at Peavey

Post by Skip Mertz »

How extensive is the Peavey mod for the older Nashville 400s? what is the cost, and can it be installed me (ie: easily)? Also the mid control is making a hellasious noise
cracking and popping? Thanks Skip

PS Has Peavey ever thought about making a 2 pc. rig? separate session 400 or 500 head with 2 spkr outs? sure might help, since most of the steel players are up in yrs!

Skip, sorry for the delay in responding to your question. The Peavey kit consists of twenty electronic components and a good technician can install these parts in approximately an hour, excluding assembly and disassembly of the circuit boards. Here is a link to the contents of this kit from the Peavey website;

To order, you may call the factory toll free in North America at 1-877-732-8391, or order the kit through your nearest authorized Peavey dealer. The item number is #90500048 and the U.S. retail price is $29.98 plus shipping. Here is a link to our dealer locator;

Mr. Brown, while we're on the topic, how do I know if my amp has the mod or not? (Obviously, I haven't checked the serial number lately) but, assuming mine is older (I think it is), how do I know?

Other than the serial number, the only thing that you can do is pull the chassis and check the components for identification. Here is the parts list;http://www.peavey.com/media/pdf/steelgu ... h400mo.pdf

Also, here is a board layout to check the identification of the IC's; http://www.peavey.com/media/pdf/steelguitar/Nashville400.pdf

All Nashville 400's were modified at the factory before shipment after serial number 08575482. fyi.

Thank you Mike, you are a scholar and a gentleman.

As I suspected my amp is an older model (# 05911167), so I'll have to crack her open.
