Peavey Nashville 400 Preamp Pedal - faithful replica of the legendary preamp
The Peavey Nashville 400 Preamp Pedal is a unique preamp pedal device that brings the sound of the iconic 1974 Session 400 Limited amplifier to modern pedalboards. Made in the USA, this pedal combines vintage tonal character with modern reliability and quiet operation.
Product Features
Among the key advantages of the Peavey Nashville 400 Preamp Pedal are: faithful recreation of the original Session/LTD 400 preamp circuit from circa 1974, internal 25V power supplied from a standard 9V source or battery, Hard Bypass switch with clickless anti-pop circuitry, input volume control, three-band EQ (Low, Mid, High) with Mid Shift function, and Presence control. The device meets EMC and FCC standards.
Professional tonal capabilities for demanding musicians
The Peavey Nashville 400 Preamp Pedal was designed with steel guitarists in mind, whose playing requires a transparent, clean tone without distortion masking articulation nuances. Thanks to the miniaturization of the original discrete transistor architecture, the pedal offers significantly better noise and hum performance than the original Session 400 Limited amplifier. Modern design techniques ensure maximum durability and resistance to interference in various stage and studio conditions.
The preamp circuit can operate as an alternative channel or a selective frequency boost, driving the input or effects loop of any amplifier via the footswitch-controlled Hard Bypass circuit with smooth, crackle-free operation. Beyond its role as an ideal clean preamp for steel guitar and other instruments, the device excels at driving the inputs of tube amplifiers. The SENSITIVITY control offers a range that allows for direct driving of low-sensitivity power amplifier inputs. All of this is housed in a rugged die-cast enclosure with durable connectors, metal knobs, and potentiometers mounted on metal shafts with bushings.
