The vent on the top . I did an outdoor gig at a brewery Saturday evening. When we started our first song, it started to rain. It was a light Sprinkle and we were able to move indoors. While I was stressing over my PSG in the rain, it didn't dawn on me that the vent is an open path to the electronics in the amp. Could have been a real disaster.
This gig was almost 2 hours away, so we assumed the weather would be the same as here in Missoula. I guess that here in Montana, you can't assume that. I've only been here 3 years and haven't really learned all the ins and outs here yet. Weather can change quick here. Maybe using my Nashville 400 for outside gigs would be a better idea.

So true. I have started walks with my dog, partly cloudy outside, but sunny above us, and within 5 minutes it would rain.

Yes, IMHO a top vent on any electronic equipment is a rather dumb idea. Any liquid spilled on top goes right into the works, as could small metallic objects which might cause some major failures.
I don't know what Hartley Peavey was thinking about when he designed the 112 or 1000. With the vent on top. I d have the knob guard over m knows, thank God. I guess carry some Vieques in your weather gear Richard. We do that a lot down hear in South Louisiana.

Right. I can't remember if I saw it here or on Farcebook, but the designer of the NV112 posted about something. My memory is kind of shaky, but I think his first name was John.
