NAD: Fortin - modded Diavlo - just got the MF blowout stack

[crankyrayhanky]

I'm jamming a Mesa OS vertical 2x12
The bass & gain controls sound good all the way up ( unlike most amps)
The low end is TIGHT, with just the right frequency enhanced to give the power

No , it's not thumping me like my pv ultra+, but I'm guessing it will excel at sitting in a mix for the same reason

Rather than make a new one, I'll just jump on this thread as mine just arrived a few hours ago....and the first thing I did was create a crappy iphone video for my internet peeps:

Not as much gain as I expected (which may be a good thing)
I maxed it out on boost, put a BB+ clean boost on it with a 7string Epi w/ Miracle Mans
Beware senseless wanking at 1:15

Cool clip, Ray!

Yeah man that tone sounds great in that clip.

When you guys play it through your 4x12 can you feel it?

Does this thing have big balls?

It is still a 50 watt tube amp. It better have some balls!

Very cool .... price is cheaper than some pedals.

It doesn't sound huge through a 4x12 but it's more than adequate. A resonance mod would take care of that.

What Ray said earlier is key - there's plenty of thump for playing in a mix. But if you're looking for that huge low end that would get you lost in a mix, this amp is not for you.

This is exactly right but for playing at home it makes things fun.

I just realized the BB+ may not be a great boost for my chain on this amp- the 4.23 keeps a lot more low end in the amp;much better choice here

Absolutely. Nothing wrong with raising the roof at home with some thumping bass.

Cool to know, Ray. Tomorrow I am going to try boosting the amp with a variety of pedals.

I sure wish I would have acted on this offer cause that amp sounds great!

A few guys here bought them so I'm sure one will pop up in the classified.

[singtall]
