OMG, it's out already?!?!?!!

I guess Bruce Egnater and Nuno tweaked it for HOURS.

I'm guessing it kills since they both have some of the best ears around.

$1429???? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
I watched Ralph tear that thing up at NAMM. It sounded good to me. :rock:
 
I had a chance to play it at NAMM. Sounded really, really awesome. Bare bones, just a great 2 channel amp, with a very useable solo boost.

DIG that VU meter!!!
 
I got an e-mail from Jon at Funky Munky and he filled in some info on it for me. Here's a couple of quotes from his message -

"I have heard one and stood about three feet away from one while it was i n use. It honestly sounds incredible. The feedback nuno has been getting from other artists regarding his tone has been outstanding. This amp has a total marshall vibe but cleans up and gets chimey."

and in response to my follow-up question about whether the amp was more suited to 80's style Marshall rock vs. modern high-gain/metal type tones he responded with:

"It does everything from the old jtm to the dsl. It is set up for 34's"

Finally, he said they (FunkyMunky) have the first 6 on order and that they're due in "after June 15th". Definitely looks like an amp to try out if that's the sound one is looking for. Personally, I LOVE to look of it.
 
I've always loved Nuno's tone. I have a sweet Washburn N4 that sounds wicked good.
 
I actually had a chance to play the amp a couple times and it is just as Jon described. I think that as long as you aren't doing metal and you like EL34 hi-gain rock tone, you'll dig the amp. The most surprising thing for me was the clean channel which can get a really great bell/chime sound to it which normally you don't find on amps like this.

Oh and of the first 6, the very first 3 will be signed by Doug Reynolds, Randall's Division Manager (THE man) and also numbered. :D

Yep, forgot to add that to my original post. Jon had informed me of that also. He said one of those 3 will be going to his basement :-)
 
That amp sounds sweet. I have always loved Nuno's sound. He gets an excellent all around sound.

Nuno's tone is one of my all time favorites no question. I doubt I'll buy one of these as my Randall RM100KH seems very promising. If I get another amp it'll be something I GAS for every once in a while like an SLO or Bogner. One of those amps along with my Randall and I should be set. But if they go for cheap on the used market... then I might have to nab one. Who knows though, maybe I'll play through one of these Nuno amps and be blown away.
 
i played it at namm


sounded very, very good to me.

didnt get to really crank it up,

had to use the n4 which has the bill lawrence pickup.

which aint my favorite.

i thought it was a great no frills head.

seems pretty reasonably priced.




I didnt know that bruce designed that amp!

Weeeeelllllll....I have heard word that Randall has a Nuno module coming as well and HOPEFULLY we might get to see it by summer NAMM....so you guys with RM100's won't be totally left out.
 
Really .R/D Steve said on the Randall board NO Nuno module was planned at this point ..cool if true

I read that to.

Also I didn't think Bruce Egnater designed this amp. Nuno said in Guitar World( I think) that a friend of his in Australia designed it. Once Nuno got Randall to build it... maybe then they got Bruce involved?? Dunno.
 
i played it and thought it had a nice sound but would have liked to have heard it louder and with a boost pedal, delay, and maybe a different pickup

i too have always liked the N4

So does it need a boost pedal or is that just a preferred method of getting the tone you like?
 
for me the amp was at that fine line of gain where you are able to solo and not need a pedal, but instinct tells me I want more than enough and then back into lower gain for fine tuning the touch

But maybe at the expence of fatter tone???

Plus if I wanted a lower output pickup than the Lawrence in the N4 I'd really be groping for the gain knob!

But a little delay and maybe a hotplate...who knows?
