Single channel amp with 5881 tubes. I had it for a few months & then sold it mainly because I needed the money & also because I already had 4 other amps that kept me more than busy. The one I had was from Naylor “Michigan” era, since then the company had been purchased by another person & located in Dallas now & supposedly amps are made to the same specs.
The master volume on this little beast works really well & the light weight of the amp was really cool. I can hear a lot of plexi sound in it, however to me it sounds darker. You can do from dirty cleans to full driven tone on this, not really saturated tone. I really liked the early break-up sound on this thing, full driven tones were very nice & unique. I really wish it had a little tighter bottom end & was a bit more open sounding/hi-fi. Overall, I’d say if you dig Marshall tone & you don’t want to be that loud, Naylor might just be the ticket, definitely worth a try. Gain at lower settings was sounding very much like 101B plexi mode, higher gains reminded me of a boosted Marshall.
