Did a swap with Bloodnail on here. Excellent dude, packed great and was a very smooth transaction I must say. Two thumbs up
On to the amp itself. Running it through a 1960 with 75s. Fired it up. Clean channel is great. Excellent. The voicing options both sound extremely different from one another but are very usable. Didn't try any pedals through it but seemed like it would be a good platform. Reverb is digital and sounded great as well.
OD1 is probably the channel that the reputation of being dark comes from. Had some ok tones there, but didn't have as much time to work with it as I would have liked. Seemed like I would probably either work with this channel exclusively or just ignore it lol
Seems like extreme eq'ing would work but being shared, would render OD2 useless.OD2 was very nice. Dialed in a very convincing Lamb of God tone. I can definitely also see the Boogie minus the sag comments I got in the other thread. Of course, most of my heavy riffs are just ripoffs of LOG doing Testament tunes anyway, so that probably influenced the tonal results a little bit
I have never thought of using a sonic maximizer, but this channel might benefit a bit from that idea actually.My A440 guitar I ran the ISF in the middle and liked what I was getting. IIRC, all the way left was way too trebly and all the way right was too bassy for my taste. With my C# V, I ran ISF all the way left and was digging the tones. Running master volume up with channel volumes a little lower. I will say I am not used to power tube breakup (or EL34s). Not a bad thing, just different from 6l6s for sure. Might swap preamp tubes out with some I have laying around to see how much that affects the tone. Overall a great NAD. I will say that with each flip I do, the old addage that tone is in the fingers rings more and more true. Food for thought
