A suggestion: try an EQ pedal with your Nomad to see what kinds of tones you can really get out of it. EQ pedals are highly underrated and VERY versatile.

Oh yeah, there it is. Mesa's 5-band graph EQ.
I wouldn't rule out a pedal though - an 8 or 10 band EQ pedal will give you more precision and more tonal options. I had a Mesa DC-3 with the 5-band EQ and I much preferred using my BOSS EQ pedal. It's all open to opinion, of course.

Is it not? From my impressions that was exactly what this was.

Forbes / Memphis: the answers to your questions are in the replies to this thread that you didn't read.
Just a bit too vehement in your assertions, really. I think the underlying sentiment you were trying to get across was a good one - be grateful for what you have - that's always good advice.
I know they didn't pay you with candy - my point was just that, since it's the dude's own money, it should be his call. I thought your tone was kind of condescending, but you know... mine tone (towards you) probably was too.
I know what it's like to be poor. I lived in a trailer as a kid for a few years. My mom worked a ****ty cafeteria job while my dad went back to school. Money was pretty scarce in those years, and I know the taste of government cheese. I didn't care - I have some great childhood memories from that time. I also know what it's like on the other side, because after my dad graduated things got a whole lot better and we moved. Now as an adult (semi adult? I am a musician after all) I'm on my own with a good job that affords me the gear I always lusted after, but I don't take that for granted for a second.
I think sometimes you're unable to see things from any perspective other than the one influenced by your direct experience. Your reactions to topics here can seem to come out of left field, maybe because they have more to do with YOU than they do with the subject at hand. That's human - we all do it to a point - but it would benefit you to understand that not everyone has had the experiences you have, and those experiences may only apply to you and your decisions and not necessarily to someone elses.
I'm sorry for coming down on you as harshly as I did. Just FYI I don't have any problem with you, Chops.

Re: i'm sooooo angry
just deal with the eq knobs with 'kid gloves' a very slight adjustment changes MANY things about the tone. If you don't have the manual, mesa manuals and their presets are actuallly pretty good starting points and almost all manuals are available on the mesa website. Good luck with your amp, and whether is a JCM 800 or not, you do have a good amp, treat it that way

Re: i'm sooooo angry
One thing to remember with the active on-board EQs like Mesas and VHTs have is that it's often more useful to CUT frequencies than it is to BOOST them. Remember to try turning down what you don't want before you turn up what you do want.
Glad you're happy with your gear - it's a good feeling. A lot of people can get wrapped up in the buying of gear and miss out on the enjoyment of really getting to know and love what they have.

Agreed...If you want more mids for example..on a MESA 9 times out of 10 you are better off turning down your bass and treble controls. They are finnicky things, but once ya figure 'em out, they really do sound great (most of 'em anyways :laugh2: )
