NAD..... Boner has touched down
Its pristine, its big, its fucking heavy for a 40 watt amp - those trannies are full size, so is the head! Dunno why but I was expecting small box marshall size with tiddly little transformers haha.
I'll avoid the whole digital effects section and use my HD500X in 4 cable mode..... (I'm here all week) - nah nova system is destined for this
Its resting in my office as I desperately need to tidy up so I can find the 2x12! its in here somewhere, under clean washing probably!
Anyway, will report back once its been plugged in and played with
Props again to Eno for superb packing and picking up duties! Anytime you need the same, give me a hollar etc...

We all like our trannies with the full sized heads.

Re: NAD..... Boner has touched down
The dials were untouched as from the last owner, unless bumped in the move. At a glance I saw a lot of gain dialed, funny innit how one looks for clues as to the owners music taste. Didn't know the dude, he didn't want me to come inside I only really said "how long you been playing for?" he says "oh about 20 years" I'm like "yeah same". I'm driving off down the road with the amp snuggled in the back of the Sentra supported by grocery bags. Thought to myself it's been more like 30 years.
First thought when carrying it was big iron in one side, it's a big boner for sure.

Re: NAD..... Boner has touched down
I've had 3 now. Bought the first new from RS in 2009 on special for $2k. They're really great amps if you want a versatile pedal platform. Wasn't a huge fan of the Mercury channel (hi gain), but really like the Gold channel, nice and saggy (a la Shiva) with the boost on and crunch off. As noted, ignore the inbuilt delay/reverb unless you're somewhere sans pedals.
Best speaker matches in my experiments were Greenback/G12H mixed pair.

Re: NAD..... Boner has touched down
about time for some pics I thought.... just because I've tidied up and the Boner is now on my desk and the 2x12 under it....
Nova system is up by my hands because I'm still dialling in my effects as the Boner is mostly pedal platform, though the gain is set to breakup and I use the built in boost as well. Anyway, a couple of pics...
Oh and there is most definitely a patch lead between nova and amp now
