NAD: Mark VII

[Desertdweller]

This amp is seriously impressive. I'd be happy to answer any questions you guys have. I don't know that I'm going to post any clips, but I'll definitely be recording with it soon.

Congrats!

Can we ask what other amps you might be able to compare it against?

Sure thing. This is my current collection. I'm a bit of a Mesa fanboy if you couldn't tell. I don't have a ton of amps like some other guys but I think these have got it where it counts, for me at least.

what iteration is that bottom Boogie? Is that a wine red headshell or black?

EDIT: I see now it’s a III. I sold a IIC+ in a wine red headshell in about 2003-2004 and puckered up for a second

It's a Mark III I rescued and gave a new home. It's in a wine taurus shell Mesa made for it a couple years ago. Pretty great company to support a 30 year old amp like that.

I can feel both the agony and the excitement from @JiveTurkey at the sight of this.

Hopefully he can swing for the fences and get one soon.

If my Tone-X refund would show up after the device has been sitting with them for 11 days; I might have the strength to pull a trigger somewhere.

Yeah. It's been in their possession @mbenigni since March 17th. Not happy.

No sign of a refund here, either. I was a bit slower in returning mine, though. I'll give them to the end of the week before I start harassing customer service.

Per support email I got yesterday morning:
"It takes a week minimum before usually refunds happen on returns as it has to be processed and then sent to accounting."

I wonder if they are owned by Prymaxe?

@Desertdweller - Congrats bro!!! Stunning is an understatement. What a collection as well!!! You are a fantastic player with equal taste my friend!!!

Gentlemen, not to derail, but I gotta ask, what’s the deal with the new Tone X pedal??? I’m very interested in that…

 

[spawnofthesith]

So @Desertdweller how do you like Mark VII mode? Does it sound like a recto since you have a solid frame of reference there?

Very interested in IIB mode as well. The low gain clips I've heard are absolutely to die for. Does it get brutal too if you crank the gain?

I know you’re asking DD, but to me it doesn’t sound like a Recto. It sounds good, but not a recto. I think it sounds more like the DC series, which I used to have. That too was supposed to be where Mark meets Recto, but it’s not what I think of. It’s its own thing.
