    NAD down under

    Not a very well known amp, even here in Australia. Despite being around since the late 90s. Sherlock definitely plays in the Diezel, Mesa Recto territories in terms of high gain. Tweaking to his taste. Apparently ch2 gets more into Marshall but I need to test that. Cleans are stellar too...

    ESP Custom Shop - worth it in 2023?

    Amp schematic experts - What's really in each amp?

    I've always been curious what the DNA is of various amps but i'm not a tech guy. We've all heard the 2ch rectos have the exact same preamp as a SLO. Would be great to get a list going of what makes up the DNA of various amps. I wonder how many of them are based off modded 2203 circuits. Some...

    IR question - getting different tone with same IR

    When I run an IR and load it into my St Rock React IR hardware... it sounds different to when I run that exact same IR in my DAW and use the St Rock's DI out. Checked settings on the St Rock IR itself and all EQs etc are off so not sure why there would be such a difference?

    Quick little thrown down of my newly arrived rev f against my uber. Still getting my head around both these amps actually but I can see why people put them in a similar tone bucket.

    NAD with amazing seller

    How good is it dealing with good people. Found this on Reverb Italy, made an offer below what he was asking and the guy accepted it if we could do the deal off reverb to save fees. Usually a red flag I know. But his seller feedback was absolutely amazing and he seemed like a really genuine...
