I try to be pretty honest. I am definitely capable of fooling myself but it never lasts very long.
With the Fuchs, I would turn it on and not dig it, fiddle with the controls for a while, and wind up thinking it sounded pretty OK by the time I turned it off. Then I'd come back to it the next day and hate it again.
It wasn't a terrible amp or anything, just all wrong for me in every way that the Fryette is right.
I buy and sell stuff pretty often so I'm not afraid to flip things. I usually go into a deal knowing what I'm getting into and have an exit strategy if needed... in the case of the last amp, it was needed.

Re: NAD pt. 2: trying again
I figured I would give it a try and if it wasn't for me I'd be able to turn it around fast and with a profit.
It was a cool amp, but I found it to be too loud and needed a boost pedal to do what I wanted.
So I traded it for my Pittbull.
I recently had a Budda that I bought brand new for $975. Steal of a price.

7 years is old school now I guess.
Old school Metalcore...so we're talking like 2005? 2006?

The other guitar player had a D-120 for a while, but I don't think it ever made it to the studio before he sold it.
Very awesome amp. I loved that thing. He needed something with an fx loop though. I don't think it sounded much like a Pittbull outside of the "yep, that is definitely a Fryette" tonal factor.

Very cool!
The VHT Pitbull is the only high gain channel switcher that ever interested me at all!

Actually that was still accurate, I just had to accept that those tones weren't great for the kind of music I make.

Love it. Fryettes stand as one of the most versatile, dynamic amps I've ever played. They have their own unique voicing for sure, and the amount of gain is crazy for as tight as they stay. I hope you love it. I'd love to have one.

Your frame of reference is too shallow. Metal core probably started around '94.

Re: NAD pt. 2: trying again
Hmmm
Interesting idea.
They do have some similarities... though the Splawn is way more Marshall-like than the Fryette.
It probably wouldn't be too relevant to too many people though, since my Splawn is an oooold-style Pro Mod with the shared EQ, Mercury Mags transformers, and no "gears" stuff. You can't get them like that anymore. And hell, the Fryette is pretty much the same way, over 20 years old, etc.
Plus the fact that they have totally different poweramp designs with different tube types and it's kind of old apples to old oranges.

So I'm looking at the 50Watt CL version of this thing, and have been for a while. It looks great, a bit more stripped down than your bad boy. You say the cleans are pretty Hiwatt? That's interesting. It looks like something I would get on with.

The Classic that I have was renamed the CLX in the current Fryette lineup.
Somewhat unintuitively, the Pittbull 100 and 50 CL are not that close in terms of design to the Classic. And I've never played one, so I can't speak from experience on how they differ.
I'm sure they still sound totally badass, but I don't know if they have the same clean channel as the Classic at all.

Re: NAD pt. 2: trying again
I guess it wouldn't be a shootout but rather a comparison?
Maybe which one fits a particular style better? Which one is more versatile? Most useable gain on tap? Just different aspects of it.
Could be helpful for those looking into high gain amps and would like to look more into fryette and/or Splawn.

I would speculate that Splawn and Fryette are probably more similar to each other re: their appropriate application than they are to most other brands out there.
They both fit into the big genre of high-powered tube heads geared toward the aggressive player, but where other brands veer apart after that, they stay pretty close together.
The Fryette stuff to tends to be more versatile due to Steve's ability to make pretty complex layouts with lots of options while keeping a pretty clear signal. They also get more control to the foot switch, giving players a broader palette of tones to use without touching the amp controls.
Splawns tend to be a tad warmer to my ears, where Fryette stuff is more dry and woody sounding. Highs are sweeter in the Fryette.. meaning you can dial in more brightness without getting too strident, where the Splawns tend to sound better to me with the highs rolled off some.
The Fryette amps are also more responsive to the volume control on your guitar, which as a Deliverance owner you ought to be pretty familiar with.
Splawns are probably better for people chasing the EVH / Lynch modded Marshall thing, since they have that characteristic chewy midrange thing happening that typifies those tones.
