NAD: Deal of the DAY content

[guitfiddle]

I was browsing C-list yesterday, and saw this amp listed for $50. Must be something wrong, but that kind of thing doesn't scare me, so I went to check it out. Everything worked when I demo'd it, so I brought it home. Later, it made a crackling sound that I remember from having a tube red-plate in my Ampeg Jet, and sure enough one of the power tubes was glowing. I switched them to the other sockets, and waited to see if the tube or the socket was bad. The red-plating followed the tube, so I chucked it out and got a replacement from my stash, and now it runs fine.






















So for $50 and a couple of my own tubes, I got this SCXD, and am totally stoked.

Nothing like cheap amplification! More decibels for your dead presidents!

oh man, nice score. That's one of the amps I want pretty bad. Well, the X2.
$50 is a cannot-pass-up cost.

For sure. I've wanted this one since it came out, and at that price I couldn't afford to not get it.

I hope the lady I got it from doesn't think I'm sitting around pissed over a bum amp, because it was such an easy fix. Most of the problems with tube amps are the tubes, after all.

How much clean headroom does it get? Enough for bedroom practice?

Depends on how big the bedroom is. This little sucker is loud.
