NAD: Marshall SV20H! Classic RAWK!

Re: NAD: Marshall SV20H! Classic RAWK!

Looked at those when I was looking for a small compact great sounding head. REALLY good sounding little heads and you are spot on that these big bottle small amps are LOUD!! I wound up with the PRS MT 15 and it's easier to control my 50 watt Mesa boogie DC 5 head at low volumes than the 15 watt PRS is. The little 15 watt PRS will stand toe to toe with both the DC 5 and my 50 watt Carvin X 50 head on the same cab also. If you are looking for low volume bedroom amps these little big bottle heads are NOT it!!
That said I was looking for a different type tone as my one year only Carvin X50B Hot Rod Mod head gives me flat amazing Marshall tone in spades. If I was not looking for a more modern style fat smooth crunch and a great clean in a small package but a killer Marshall tone would have bought that little Marshall as it impressed the heck out of me!! GREAT little amps CONGRATS!!

Thanks! I also own an MT15 and those are much easier to control indeed. The master volume helps in that regard. It's a much more modern sounding amp though whereas the SV20H is very vintage sounding. I love both though. I think the MT15 is a great pedal platform because of the solid clean channel.

I have the SC20H and I highly recommend it. Its a full on JCM800 monster. Your LTD should sound killer through it. Congratulations on the SC. I haven't played one yet but from what I've heard its a must have.

Thanks! Yeah I'm loving it. I had so much gas that I jumped on a 2525HD3 black Friday deal. Just had to jump on that... Lol
