NAD

It's tiny!
it gets flipping loud!
It's a buzzsaw with very little bottom end,
But it's pretty fun too!

more to come after I get some time with it.

I did sound at a show recently where a dude was using a Zombie through a 4x12 - that thing got stupid loud and didn't sound bad, actually. Happy NAD!

Was just looking at vids of those last nite. Pretty cool for the price

I got mine off fleabay brand new for 118. Showed up today. I had literally zero expectations so.

Got to play with it for ten minutes and threw this together for a flavor for y'all.

Zero effects or pedals up front, straight into my Marshall 4x12 (T75S and V30S)

I think it's lacking some bottom end for sure, but it makes up for it with some nice quality tube like feel and dynamics. The little sucker gets pretty loud too! I was amazed by that.

My OD pedals make it sound even better. But for this quick vid, just straight in.

I was curious to see how loud it goes all by itself.

Overall that sounds pretty damn good, congrats on ur NAD

 

[Mincer]

Wow, that is super tiny!

Nice. You should try it through something like your 2x12 when you get it.

 

[JamesPaul]

Actually it sounds quite good! It is missing some thump, but overall there is a decent amount of bass listening thru my cans.

 

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

I think it will record well, as I have to drop a lot of low thump out of my Marshall rig whenever I record.

 

[80's_Thrash_Metal]

Oh I recorded a song today with it!
it does sound pretty awesome for such a little thing!

That sounds really really good. I'm sure the efficiency of your 4x12 has something to do with it being so loud. I once used a Marshall Lead 12 through a 4x12 cabinet and it was surprisingly loud. And it sounded great.

Are there other amps by them like this?

Small cheap @$$ stuff is getting awesome. My Mooer 900 is pretty sweet too!

They have a whole lineup of copy amps.
I also just bought the VIVO which is their 5150iii copy.
they make an orange, an AC, a Mesa, couple more
