Z-Vex Nano Head?

[Erlend_G]

Well, someone offered me to buy their Z-Vex Nano Head for pretty cheap, so i'm collecting some advice about if i should go for it or not.

I've never played the amp myself, so i do not know what it sounds like. I just want a cute little "gadget", that i could use for recording purposes, and\or for jamming with friends.

So, if you've played or heard the amp, please give me some advice!

Thanks,

Jamming with friends with half a watt? Sorry mate, ain't going to happen. This thing would never go over a drummer, you'd need at least 5 or so watts for that.
This device was created with ONE purpose: pure power tube distortion at room level. This amp is THE tube sound more than A tube sound. I'd love one of these to record to be honest. But I REALLY doubt you could use it jam with other people.

Well, with an efficient speaker, 0.5 watts should be able to produce about 100db\1m. And that's enough for jamming with another guitarist, or even a bassist, at moderate volume. Atleast to my knowlegde.

But have you played one?

I'd love a Nano Head myself for recording with.

Whack it through a 4x12 with good speakers and that'd be awesome for recording.

How it'd fair for jamming with a drummer, I'm not sure.

I played one through a 4x12. They are great. It is a 3 trick pony. There are three tone settings. I think they are great. I would snag one, without a second thought. the volumes were respectable if I remember right. If I remember right one of the settings had a real gritty AC/DC sound to it.

BUY IT>>>>>NOW!!

Seems like a cool little device, especially for recording and practicing. However, good luck trying to get some clean headroom out of one above low volumes.
