NAD: Suhr PT100

[Nitrobattery]

This just showed up today, and I couldn't be happier. It's my favorite amp I've ever owned.

Congrats!

Do you like it even better than, say, your 5150 for high-gain tones?

A 5150/6505 is a great amp. It does 'that thing' better than just about everything else.

For me though, I grew up on a healthy diet of Metallica, Alice in Chains...really tight, less saturated tones. I can play everything that I'd use a 5150 for with this, but still get awesome Plexi and JCM800 tones...along with the best clean channel I've ever heard on a high gain amp.

I played one a while back and thought it was a great amp, good to hear it can cover the Metallica tones as well.

Looks pretty slick, congrats dude!

I got it used from a guy on The Gear Page. Both guitars and the RL I got new.

Nice!
The PT100 is criminally underrated,
so many colors to choose from inside.

What bridge PU have you been liking with it?

I actually can't wait to do a little video/demo of it, because I don't think a lot of people realize just how heavy it can get. This was a buy to try situation, and I knew I'd love the more classic tones that Pete goes for, but the high gain tones knocked me out too. If you crank the negative feedback control on the back, it goes from having some nice squish and give to being ultra tight.

I just got the amp today, but I've really been enjoying all of my guitars through it. The two Suhrs in the picture have SSV's in the bridge (though I think the JM is about to get an Aldrich set) I have a Les Paul with 57 Classics in it, I have some guitars with EMG's, a guitar with a JB...they all work. It's like a good Marshall in that it lets the character of each guitar shine through without having to totally re-EQ everything when you switch guitars.

This amp rocks!!
