NAD! my 1st tube amp

[80's_Metal]

Only fired it up one time. Just got it in today in trade from one of our very own sd guys.
Super loud for only 7 or 15 Watts! Fat.ass.tone.

Your thoughts?

If you digs it, I digs it! Slice that low e string in half.

Re: NAD! my 1st tube amp

after further sound investigation I think they should have named this amp the fat bottomed beeoch.
Maybe its just my 4x12 cab loaded with texas heat and swamp thangs @ 8ohms that makes her sound SO damn fat down there??

mmmm maybe time for a crunchy extension cabinet built for the new head.... sounds like a plan for me!

My first tube amp was the BH5. Awesome and congrats on graduating to all-tube!

That amp looks very familiar. Even that extra hole on the right side of the control panel.

" I drilled the first hole for the 3 way switch in the wrong place."

Run that sucker on 15w and turn the master down. It really does sound better. I take it you got it from Lucid?

It's a fun amp and sounds even better pushing it with an overdrive. I always ran it through my silver 4x12 cab with the V30's/G12T75's. I finally took the time to play with the Dime guitar last night through the DSL and all I could do is b!tch because I can't shred and that guitar just needs to be played fast.

Once you go tube, there is no going back...and for good reason...they sound SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!

My JMP 2x12 and Blues Classic 1x15 sittin' behind the Ibby...

That amp was my learning tool while I was in school.
Every time we got to some new stuff, I would do some kind of mod to that amp.
It has the bitmo dapper devil mod on it too, but I modded that mod.
I spent a lot of time inside that amp. It's a good one.

Ditto what Muttn said! Once you go tubes, nothing else sounds as good..

80's Metal, Congrats bro!! I dunno if its a characteristic of EL84s but my tweaker sounds alot more bottom heavy than my EL34 amps
