Re: NAD. Tweed Deluxe.
Pedal steel is such a beautiful instrument. My friend plays one in one of my bands. He always has to turn up a good 40 minutes early just for the tuning up!
He reckons it is worth it tho. I tend to agree. The sound is amazing.
fwiw....he did save a couple of grams when i swapped out his speaker for one of those cool eminence lps neo ones.

Re: NAD. Tweed Deluxe.
Totally agree on it being worth it. It sounds amazing, and you don't even have to be great at it to impress most audiences (and even some musicians). I'm seriously just a beginner on the thing, but unless there is another steel player in the audience, everyone raves about how great it sounds.
My steel rig is still in early form, I'd like to get an early 70's Dual Showman head and 1x15 cabinet or a Milkman Half and Half 1x15 for it, but for now the Super Sonic Twin does the job, even if it weighs ~100 lbs. And my pedal steel is basically the Squier Affinity of pedal steels. But it gets the job done for a PSG noob like me.

Re: NAD. Tweed Deluxe.
I know three pro steel players who all use the peavey nashville 112. It is light, clean and powerful.
Two of them have upgraded to the LPS neo eminence speaker, whereas the third is still using the stock but with a second stock speaker in an extension cab.
Worth thinking about when you consider all the other stuff you need to lug...and i am a huge vintage fender amp fan.

Re: NAD. Tweed Deluxe.
The Peavey steel series is definitely an industry standard. I've thought about trying to pick one up, they can typically be had in the $300-500 range if you are diligent in searching. If it's good enough for Buddy Emmons, it should be good enough for the likes of me!
If I did, I'd probably sell my Super Sonic Twin, because, as much as I like it, I much prefer my little 1x12 Deluxe style amp for guitar. It's lighter and just breaks up so wonderfully.
