NAD - Grease Monkey

[sled]

Just picked up this Grease Monkey. What a great amp. I believe this is the head demo'd by Lance Keltner. Regardless, it's got great voicing, touch sensitivity and that liquid feel.

I first tried it with a Green Beret in a 1x12 and it was just Ok but nothing like with my 80's Greenbacks loaded 4x12. The amp really does clean up well. Here's some noodling.

Greg and those guys get an A+ for naming their amps! Still waiting on the Trunk Monkey!!!

Will be real curious about Ze Jose when it hits the ground this summer.

Nice and chewy.

I had never really paid attention to 3 Monkeys amps until this last week. The Grease Monkey got my attention and then I found this one for sale just down the road.

Nice and chewy.

Yee-ha...

Incredible tones! Cheers for the three monkeys

Thanks all. Now a full day with it and it's really a tone machine. The Cut and Shape controls really move the tone. A
shorty with Cut @ 3oclock and Shape on 3.

Grats on the amp! How would you describe the voicing? Somewhat similar to a AC30?

I've tried it with several different speakers/cabs and I immediately smiled with my greenbacks that I bought in the late 70's or early 80's. The amp can really push the top end, but it's totally manageable. The bottom can be dialed tight or loose. Get the top and bottom right and the mids say hello.

I'm not really familiar with AC30.
