Peavey Nashville Session 112 Pedal Steel Guitar Amp Combo 200-Watt 1x12" Celestion Speaker

The Nashville-Session is everything that it needs to be for the working pedal steel guitarist. Aside from pedal steel applications, the Nashville-Session is also a great multi-instrumentalist amp, whether it be for fiddle, mandolin, banjo, accordion, or electric kazoo. From the new 100% analog non-reactive high-Z input and classic hard-switched analog preamp circuitry (miniaturized for the lowest possible noise) with top shelf components throughout, to the mighty 200W (rms) power section driving an all-new Peavey-proprietary 12" Celestian speaker with ceramic drivers. The look and size of its unique cabinet design is based on classic Peavey models, however, the materials and construction have been optimized for low weight and best possible resonance and interaction with the new speakers, per model. While the 115 is the more classic and familiar-sounding variant of the two, the 112 is already making more headway for "flat" applications and it has also proven to be a fantastic high-powered pedal platform for guitar. Beyond that, it is also the simplest and best engine that is currently available for "real" sounding FRFR applications on stage. This type of functionality is further enhanced by the inclusion of a pre-reverb footswitchable effects loop/return, master volume, onboard 9VDC supply, and full-range XLR direct interface. There is also a 1/4" speaker jack so that you can quickly and easily swap to the external speaker or your choice….or use no speaker at all. To add the sparkle and sheen on top, we have also included our all-new homebrewed reverb with both PLATE and SPRING settings, to mimic the most revered echoes of our illustrious past and finally top the old ProFex verbs like only Peavey can. Once you "pick one up" you will not want to put it down. For decades, Peavey has been listening to you, and we hope that you truly enjoy your new amp! Peavey would also like to extend a special note of thanks for the invaluable input from industry legends like Bill Ferguson, Robert Randolph, Steve Hinson, and Buck Reid; without whom, this amp could not have happened.
