Hells yeah! Excited to get it and unleash the beast.

Any power tube recommendations? It has JJ EL34's. Don't know what it has for pre.

Will go on top of a Mesa cab!

Also this week I will be finishing up my work on the Mesa 22 cal I have had sitting around for a while.

Wish me luck :rock:
 
oh awesome! I had a Cobra and loved it. On the Cobra, there were real specific things needed, I think channel volume up to 3o'clock and fx level around 12(even if nothing is in it). Sucked fizz balls before I tried that and then it was magic.

Subscribed!
 
When I had a Kemper every time I stumbled upon a pack with Framus profiles in it they ended up being my favorite in the pack. Same with Zilla cabs. Every profile I used seemed to have a Zilla cab (typically a Fat boy). Congrats on the new amp. Hope you dig it.
 
I am excited for sure. I sold like six things on CL this weekend so I figured I would treat myself

JJ KT77's!
 
Congratulations. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.
 
Looking forward to a tater cam clip of this beast!
 
Congrats. I had one years ago and regretted selling. It’s a good amp, thing I remember most was the tone I could get for soloing and noodling around the neck. It was butter.

It's an amp I have always wanted and am excited to get it.

Problem is that I either need to remove a head from my shop. I think it will dethrone the tremoverb. I will then have the Orange, and the Ktre and the Splawns in there. Or I could pull out the bassman... As I have the clean amps in another area.

I have heard bad things about it with JJ's. I have preamp tubes for decades of all kinds, just not sure what I want in the power section.

I will wait until the tubes that come with it go, then it will probably get KT77 's.
 
I'll say one thing about the Cobra when I owned it. It loved Greenbacks. And IMO that amp really loved being matched with it's companion cab. Probably more so than any other amp I've ever played through.

He got a Dragon...
But, to your point, Greenbacks do metal very well. Some people don't realize the Cobra cab had Greenbacks. Engl had a Greenback cab at one point too, majority of their stuff is high gain.
 
I think it's going to go with the Recto cab. Seems like a lot of people do that.

I need to get a Greenback cab. I only have a few greenbacks and they are in combos or 2x12"s.

I had a Dragon cab; you're set with the Mesa. The Dragon cab had V30s.

That's what I saw too. A lot of good clips with Recto cabs too. But I do still need a GB loaded cab.

Yep the Cobra cab was a nice cab, I hung onto the cab for quite awhile and recorded with it as I loved recording with GB's.
 
It came in today. NAD thread in a few days.

So far I love it! Needs to be loud and needs to be boosted, but it's a BEAST of an amp. Almost like a JCM800 crossed with a Recto. Holy hell it's awesome
 
It really needs to be boosted? Not enough gain on tap.
