NAD Fender 68 custom Deluxe Reverb

[primeholy]

Traded my helix LT for this amp Saturday. Helix was rarely being used, and I like amps and didn’t have a good tube combo till now. Any tips on this amp? I’m used to channel switchers and effects loops. This thing gets really loud! I haven’t spent much time on it because I’ve had a busy weekend. I did record a clip with my phone that doesn’t do it justice, but I’ll post it anyway. Title of clip is misleading

Congrats on the new glass!

Nice! congrats, those are good

Run the treble high and the bass low, and have fun with dirt pedals

Sweet combo. Congrats!

No amp loves Tubescreamers more than a Deluxe!

Yes

but also no

That's their take on a Tubescreamer so yes. A really nice compliment to that is a Bluesdriver type pedal.

The JHS Morning Glory is a good one that's not ridiculously priced. Especially if you get a used one off Reverb.

Very nice, PH! Congrats!

I’ve been tempted to grab that Keeley Blues Disorder, but it’s a bit spendy

A plane ol' regular used Blues Driver for $60 is still righteous

I used a waza version with a twin RI for a while

Heck; you can poverty it up with a rando Amazon Blues Driver clone

I cleansed myself of all the cheap amazon crap, but yeah pretty much every $20 Shandong Special pedal at least in terms of dirt sounded great

I might compile a list of drives I have and y’all can tell me what to try first.

My Amazon pedalboard selection is really just wayyyyyyyy too good for what it should be. The Rat, the silver horsie, the Blues Drive clones are spectacular.

We were duped when we were younger into thinking there was all sorts of voodoo and black magic involved with some of these boxes.
SOOOO many awesome clones for reasonable cash these days. Or build one yourself for even cheaper.



Good lord, the boatloads of cash I fed Mike Fuller in the 2000s......

Deluxe Reverb amps are good sounding amps. They are a great pedal platform too. I have wanted one of the newer versions that they put the Celestion speaker in. A friend of mine gigged one for a bit. I found some really good tones in those amps. I just didn't want to pay what they cost. I have way more amps than I need now.

Congrats!

I've been wanting a 68 Princeton Custom Reissue for a while. It sounds so good. I've also been curious about the Tonemaster versions.

But the idea of just having a plug and play tube amp is super intriguing.
