NAD: Tweed Blackface Princeton

Post by Eruera »

Been on the hunt for a low-wattage amp with spring and trem since mini-Eru came to rule the roost, finally bit on a Princeton!

Turns out I don't know how to get images working anymore.

Sounds looooovely with the LP, nice chime and surprising girth for a small cab and 10" driver. Looking forward to trying with the Jet and 360/12. Reverb is a nice ambience, without too much sproink, and the trem is deep, dark, dank, and swampy.

Still a wee bit loud at breakup so might need to add an attenuator, but happy to just play clean for now.

Bit of a crisis as to what I should keep in my, for the foreseeable future, post-gigging life; hopefully this will be enough of a destruction that I won't feel bad about the MkV and FX8 sitting in mothballs.

Big showt owt to Dave for the dealio and the Palmy RS boys for their service, always a pleasure.

Yep, Dave sorted me out. They have some cool special run princetons with quite snazzy clothing.
