NAD - Diezel Big Max

[stratjacket]

So this arrived. I've wanted one of these for a long time. Good deal popped up on here and finally pulled the trigger.

Diezel Big Max
Very cool amp, simple and straight forward and sounds great. Gonna be an awesome weekend. I have some friends coming over today to jam and record, but between this and the Griffin pedals that arrived, I got plenty to keep me happy this weekend.

I've only had about an hour on its far but really loving it. Takes pedals like a champ. Between the hi/lo inputs, the gain knob is very useable across the whole range. Can get a lot of sounds out of this thing. I am so happy I finally gave it a try.

Congrats dude, post some clips if you can please!

Awesome! If this is the one that just sold here recently I believe that’s my old one. Unbelievable pedal platform. My favorite diezel I’ve played.

Always wanted to try one. Congrats!

So it sounds like Diezel's answer to the VHT Deliverance. What's the voicing like?

You have disturbed the force. Now a buddy of mine is getting a big max, so I get to try it

Congrats man! I've thought about trying one of these for years despite not gelling with other Diezels. This one sounds like a cool amp.

I’ve always been curious about these, like how heavy can they get with a boost? Happy NAD

Nice! Always wanted a Diezel!

It’s not even that big. Is it cold in there or what?

Happy NAD! Glad to hear you liking it!

Thanks. I will try that tomorrow.

Not sure, I’ve never owned a Deliverence. If I’m remembering right I think I’ve read a few posts that it’s Diezel answer to Marshall, kind of a Diezel/JCM800. I plan to spend more time with it tomorrow, only got about an hour or two today.

Plugged into the hi Input with a boost it’s as heavy as just about anything.

congrats man! So where does this sit in the Diezel spectrum, or is it unlike his other amps?

@Simon Dorn we need a Big Max/JCM 800 boosted comparison, STAT

@hellzington did a great video of the big max. I assume it eats a jcm for breakfast
