NAD!! Baron B60

[shane159]

Picked this Baron B60 today. This is a fantastic sounding amp. I have not had much time with it, but I am digging it so far. The footswitch for this thing is great. It controls every function on the amp except the bright switches.

Nice!
We need a clip of that thing

I used to own the B60...nice amps. A little bright for me, but still sounded killer.

I was told that Dave added a darker tone stack to this one. It is not as bright as my Quick Rod, but I tend to dial in amps on the darker side. It is the loudest 60 watt amp that I have ever played.

NICE....he must have did some tweaks, cuz I had to crank mine compared to my quickrod. Sounds like it's way better now!!!!

How do you like the sound compared to the QR? Im asking because I had a QR and sold it to try other things and I have been looking at Baron off and on lately. I really like the BM series that Dave makes. Is the distortion more modern than the Splawn? I love the clean on the Barons, sounds very bright and 3D sounding.

It is more modern in a sense that it has the Gain B option with the boost, but I can get the two of them to sound almost identical. The Quick Rod just has so much more volume that makes it sound bigger. I can't say which one I prefer right now, but I will say that the Baron has a wider range of tones. They are honestly very close, and after tweaking the two of them, I can pretty much dial in the same sounds, but the feel of each amp is different. The Baron also seems to have a more musical/harmonic type of tones. The only way I know how to explain the difference is that the Splawn is raw and full of punch, but the Baron sounds more polished and 3D overall. I have only played it in my home, but as soon as I get it to our rehearsal space Tuesday, I will give you a better opinion. The Barons cleans are way better than the Splawn, I was surprised by the cleans for sure.

Didn't know they went all Bogner with their front grill and logo

I believe this was an older one off kind of thing.

It was a one off for a friend, who promised not to sell it, and hence he did.

Ouch
Why would a friend request an amp looking like another company's amp anyway? That doesn't seem appropriate

Your right, that is why I won't do it anymore, I was basically begged to do it.

I would have felt a bit insulted
End result looks nice, but I like your "regular" stuff better
Cheers

That amp you had for a while was modded by me before you got it from the original owner. The original owner thought it was too modern sounding and had me dial the gain structure and make less modern sounding.

Amp sounds great and that is all that matters. I could sit and debate cosmetics all day.

This amp has shown up in Knoxville tn. Other than the grill and lettering is there anything different about this particular amp?
