Traded for this yesterday. First NAD of 2025 and hopefully sets the pace for the rest of this year. Glad to have it in the arsenal.

Let's get a control panel shot, too!

 

[jeremy]

the ones ive seen are clean volume/clean tone/mid swtich, od gain/od tone/od volume/mid switch, reverb and master, but ive only seen a few. they sounded great too!

25 or 50 watter?
Owned my 25 watt Blue Velvet combo for over 15 years now. These amps are real fire breathers! Single tone control with a mid
boost switch single volume on the clean side add a second volume to the gain side, then a global master and reverb are the only controls. Gain in abundance and tone for days, unique little amps. Welcome to the club!

Spot on with the control lay out, and mine is an absolute BEAST! Bruce signed mine in 2008.

Here is my 25 watt Velvet combo running unmiced at an outdoor event with my old Chuch team. Running noting but a little delay and a wah her BTW and recorded with the camera mic.

So is it 2 channel, or just switchable gain?

 

[jeremy]

two channel. clean and od, shared reverb and master

Sounds like my kind of amp.

I'd also guess it hangs on to smells more than tolex would.

At least mine is Black tolex and not the crushed velvet, LOL!

They both used the exact same chassis, only the cabinet was different. I would love to have a 50 watt velvet head. I had a chance to buy the 50 watt head the old guitarist for Casting Crowns had that Bruce had done some mods to the effects loop on. Still regret not buying that particular amp!
PS Bruce signed mine
