Thanks man.
I am surprised how much they can go ''past'' the Hard Rock tones.
From Classic Rock, to Hard Rock, to some kind of (Southern...) Metal'ish tones too !

Re: NAD . . . Made in the UK.
WOW . . . this is very UNlike any preconceived ideas what i might have had about Marshall amps in general.
Talking about Marshall mid-90's - present.
LOVE the clean sound with both humbuckers (SD WLH & A2P bridge) and Tele single coils.
Really warm and thick. Could it be the KT66's that is responsible for it ? . . . or maybe my 2X12 ported cab ?
What ever the reason, i love these cleans. No ice'y harshness what so ever !
And that subtle crunch you get on the Lo Dynamic setting, with the Mid Boost engaged - very nice Black Crowes like crunch.
I also love just how interactive the Body & Detail knobs are.
Probably my fav aspect about this amp !
Still have t mess around with the High Dynamic channel.
So far, i am having fun with the ''clean'' & Low Dynamic channel (s).
THIS is deff my idea of what a Marshall should be like !

Re: NAD . . . Made in the UK.
Marshall cleans can be very nice. My favorite clean tone is the JTM45 rather than a black face. The DSL clean channel is meant to be extra bright on purpose. But I prefer the JTM45 type clean. Marshalls can get that kind of clean with both EL34s or KT-66s, but KT-66s are great for that.
The KT-66 has a huge bottom compared to the standard 6L6, and its got a lot more happening in the mids, which can give more complex harmonics in the mids. When I run KT-66s in my JTM45 I have to turn the bass down to about 2.
The VM is essentially a four holer type circuit with a post PI master volume, so getting a great big Marshall clean and then the famous crunch is designed right in.

Re: NAD . . . Made in the UK.
Thank you very much for the info.
IF the Vintage Modern is such a great amp (an i believe it is), i wonder why they discontinued it.
I mean, what snot too like about this amp then ?
GREAT cleans.
NO (and i do mean zero) ice pick/over treble'y cleans. Not even with the treble at '10'.
Marshal mid-range crunch by the truck load.
Healthy amount of ''classic'' 60's era Marshall tones + 70's era Hot Rodded Plexi tones.
P H A T T low end !
Man . . . whats not to like ?
Yes, you can say i am still in the so called Honeymoon-phase with this amp, but, the amp has already exceeded by expectations by a mile.

Re: NAD . . . Made in the UK.
Post PI master volumes don't play well in a music store environment. They need to be turned up a bit more than typically allowed before the amp comes alive. But I have seen it written that slow sales were not the reason it was dropped. ????
