What we would like to know is what other features do you suggest that we include in a future amp? Any reasonable thoughts and suggestions can be taken into consideration for future projects so dream away, but don't get carried away. But, we do wish to hear from you. If you wish to send me a personal e-mail, my address is mikebrown@peavey.com Don't think that your ideas or suggestions are unreasonable. Fire away!

Or... how about built in tilt-back legs so I don't need to carry a separate amp stand?

Built in SM-57 behind the grill. Offer a few custom colors too, like White, Blonde, Red, Green, Blue...maybe even offer in custon color Mica.

Make an option where the amp top part can come off for recording sessions with direct recording outputs. XLR & 1/4 outputs.

Add a matching extension power cabinet for stereo. Offer a built-in SM-57 and 1/4 & XLR outs too. Offer Brads Steel Guitar Black Box installed but able to switch on and off. Offer the Mod kit also able to switch off and on.

Tilt Legs would be cool or something like that to tilt the amp but not on the outside, make them on the inside to hide them and keep the classic look.

Make sure it has the old style chrome knobs and don't make it look goofy with fake snake skin coverings.

Offer a matching Road Case.

How about a one-space rack mount stereo amp ...lightweight, of course, and speaker cabs tuned for steel...with a choice of either 12" or 15" spkrs, and open or closed backs.

If you cant do an all tube power section how bout a built in tube pre? Slap a black box type thing in there?

In general:
I like things that do ONE thing well rather than 100 things poorly.

I'll give you my wish list. First off, I love the size and weight of the NV112, so it would be great to keep that approximate size.

Next, The main effects I use are Reverb and delay. But it would very very cool if several effects were built into the amp, not unlike some of the new Line 6 amps. It would be really cool if we could preset different settings and use a remote switch (either footswitch or something that could attach to a steel leg) to change our sound on the fly. This would all but do away with rack stuff, and stomp boxes. Flange, delay, reverb, chorus, leslie....on and on, you get the idea. That would be about the only amp that could replace my NV112 and RV-3 setup.

Small, loud and versatile with great tone.....should be easy, right!

Protect the knobs better.

Both of these have been said, but I second and third them.

I'm not into effects, and I don't want to turn my neck back to tune from a built-in tuner, so adding them would take me off the list to pay extra for an amp that had them.

You know, the 112 is about perfect (except protecting the knobs and including a cover).

If nothing else, on the 112, make the knobs a trifle shorter, as they get bent and broken easily.
Eliminate the inset relief of the top of the 112 further protecting them.

Totally can the spring reverb, replacing it with digital models, and a couple different digital delays.

All the XLR and line plugs are GREAT ideas and features. So is the DDT comp.

Keep it up Mike.

Any ideas you pass on from here are worth much more than they are paying you for them.

Mike I think peavey is doing a great service to the steel guitar. In my honest opinion this little amp is a great addition to the peavey stable of great STEEL amps.

Then we would have the option of using a 15" or 12" in a cab.

Since you asked LOSE that logo!

I just purchased a 100W Valveking head, and the first thing I did was pull the logo off and replaced it with my band logo, w/the wings it looks kinda cool.

By the way, I play a lot of classic rock on 6 string and the amp is voiced just right, nice clean channel and a very nice distortion channel that can be kept nice and smooth..also reasonably priced....GOOD JOB!

Otherwise, I love the amp as it is - the headphone option is super, and that XLR 'out' has been an absolute boon for my theatre work.

Thanks for asking us what we want!!!

Euro version!!! And no more than $100 please

I play 2 nights a week, plus outside radio remotes and about 7 steel guitar shows a year.

I use the NV112 (sometimes 1, sometimes 2) almost exclusively. My band likes my sound better with the 112's and they cut right through all the other instruments that seem to muddy a steels sound on stage.

You know that I am one to shoot straight from the hip (I've sure done it with you many times). So please take everything I say as a compliment for this, what I think, is the best amp Peavey makes.

Now just talk Hartley into handling covers again. hehe

Put your efforts into the pre amp/power amp, leave the effects and tuners to other external units. This keeps the cost of the amp down and the quality of the amp up.
