I am beyond excited for this NAD! I have been GAS'ing for one ever since I got to spend a few weeks with one of the prototypes last year. The one I had was considered the "Modern" preamp version (Chad had the Vintage). So when I first started talking with Steve about doing all the demos and stuff last year, there was an opportunity briefly mentioned about getting one at a very nice price when they went into production.

Imagine my surprise when I got the email saying, "Hey man, your amp is shipping out on Monday..." I was like, "How much?" and Steve said, "No dude, your amp is SHIPPING!!!"

You could have knocked me over with a damn feather. Never did I imagine Steve would do something that generous!

This is the second production version Steve built so that is really cool!

I got the amp on Wednesday but honestly did not even get a chance to plug it in at VERY low volume last night to make sure everything checked out. Got about 30 minutes or so this morning with it and FUCK ME!!! I had been watching my vids and all that I did but I seriously forgot how incredible this amp sounds AND how many sounds are on tap with the 2 Gain controls and all the Bright/Saturation dip switches.

I played it this morning through the Marshall MF400 cab. It SMOKES with the K100's for sure. I am heading out to Twin Peaks this weekend but I will get clips up soon.

Of course you all know my OCD and it is killing me to NOT have it on top of a Henning cab, so THAT will get sorted after my house closes in October!

Anyway, sorry for the crappy pics, the lighting in my current gear room is BRUTAL!









 
Killer sounds amp from the clips...looks classy too. Congrats! \m/

Thanks! Was really awesome of Steve to include me in the testing of the prototypes. Hell, it was the project that launched me into the sad world of gear demos!

Just glad that not only people dug the vids/clips but that Steve felt I did a good job representing his hard work.

You can tell by the level of attention paid to the amp details, especially in design, that this is a labor of love for him.
 
The Gear Gods will welcome Steve with open arms into eternal tone bliss. This is probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen on a gear forum. So awesome, congrats to both of you.
 
Steve has put out a product with this amp that is just awesome. I'm working on putting the $$$$ to get one of these. The layout and features are very well done and the clips I've heard are very very good. The guy is clearly hitting his stride right now. This amp is a winner in my book.

Hey guys - while I appreciate the kudos on providing Jer with this amp, there is something that has to be considered here. This guy has put in an incredible amount of time and effort to help with the release of this amp, from doing a bunch of killer audio/video clips, to creating a branded video intro, to hours of Photoshopping to fix my fucked up amp photos. And he never asked for anything return... Frankly, I got off cheap. :D

Much thanks, Jeremy and enjoy!

Steve
 
Wow, this is what it's all about… Very nice!
 
Very very cool! :thumbsup:

I loved watching the vids he made.
Amp sounds great man! :rock:
