NAD - Supro 1605r

Post by GrantB »

So, thanks to the guys in the Rock Shop for letting me be annoying and play this for ages yesterday, and for giving me a great deal! It is an inspiring little beast! 8" speaker, one 6V6, 2x12AX7 and an 12AT7. Reverb and master volume. Plenty of line out options too. Pretty hot looking too!

Nice one
Got some stone wash pants or half length vest so you double denim ?
I think these are darn cool looking. What's the voicing like ? I'm thinking box, but with a bit more throatiness and fender grunt from the 6v6 ??

Haven’t got to the JM yet...too much fun with the Firebird.

It is boxy but huge all at the same time. Very different amp, in a good way! Sorta like a...a....I dunno. The tone is all new to me.

JB, when cranked it still has clarity on the notes, but the sound is midrangey and gritty.
