Peavey Nashville 112 Amp
Peavey · amplifier
The Peavey Nashville 112 is an 80-watt, 1x12 combo amplifier purpose-built for pedal steel guitar, a specialized instrument category with different headroom, EQ, and clean-tone requirements than standard electric guitar amps. It's designed to deliver the extended clean headroom and detailed, wide-frequency-response reproduction that steel guitar playing demands, since pedal steel's pedal-and-lever technique and chord voicings expose amp coloration and breakup differently than standard electric guitar playing. It's a niche but well-regarded amp within the pedal steel and country/Nashville session-player community it's named for.
