    NAD - Vintage Peavey Content

    Finally got my hands on a Peavey Bandit, this one is from about 1981 and in clean condition. The pots were shot so they got a heavy dose of Deoxit and so did the inputs, everything works fine now! The features of this amp are what drew me in, I wanted this amp back in the day but it was out of...

    New Amp Day - BluGuitar Amp1 Mercury Addition

    I've been looking at these for years and should have gotten one when used prices were cheap, so I paid a little more than I wanted but well worth it! I recently joined a band that doesnt use amps so that was the motivator to get this now. Very quickly dialed in a couple tones I needed in 2 of...

    NAD! 5213 Mosfet 100 Twin Reverb

    Happy Friday people! I picked this baby up cheap ($200) on Wednesday, rescued it from an old dungeon-y basement. It had almost 40 years of dust, dirt and spiderwebs on it. All of the knobs crackled. Volume would cut in and out constantly. Footswitch wasn't working, and reverb appeared dead...

    Fabulous disaster (family photo)

    I just got my 2555SL back from my former drummer’s house, so I thought I’d share a family photo. Yeah, it’s a mess. Oh, well. If I waited to clean it up, I’d never share a pic. Anybody else have a messy music room? BTW, I haven’t had the 2555SL in months, and I’m happy to report that it stands...

    NAD - 5215 Mosfet 100 Reverb

    Really I’ve had it for over a week now, but I wanted to live with it a bit before reporting. I bought it from @Melvin who found it too loud for home use. It’s a 1x15” combo, currently fitted with a Jensen Mod 15-120. I did get the original G15B-100 in the deal, but I haven’t tried it yet...

    Tube or Solid state for gigs?!

    Greetings members of the Marshall Community! I recently happened to read a thread discussing tube and solid state amps, and came across a statement that surprised me a bit. It said that a DSL40 would be significantly louder than a 100+W ss amp (both combos and marshalls) without mic. Now, I'm...

    Most suitable devices for very aggressive distortion sounds

    Noob question alert. In your opinion, which one of these things : 1. Power tubes such as EL34, EL84, etc. 2. Preamp tubes such as 12AX7 3. Solid state electronics such as integrated chips, transistors, diodes, etc. ...that will EASILY produce the most aggressive distortion that are mostly...

    Code And Its Kin. Are They Truly Solid State?

    This one is primarily for you engineering folks- I often see many references to amps like the CODE (and Katana, Mustang, etc... and all the other current generation of modeling-based amps) referred to as solid state. In the truest technical terms, are they actually solid state? To me they are...

    Lead 100 Mosfet: Bass, Middle, Treble Knobs Non-responsive

    Not too long ago, I bought a 1986 Marshall Lead 100 Mosfet solid state head and applied Deoxit contact cleaner to the pots as they were scratchy. Now that I can hear the amp clearly, I noticed there is no difference in the tone when I change the Bass, Middle or Treble knobs in any settings. Zero...
