NAD: MESA/Boogie Mark VII

[TubeStack]

Your running Crunch on the 45watt or 90watt setting, TS?

Everything is 90W, gotta have that Simul-Class…

Yes! I have always been hooked on the Keeley Fuzz Head and certain Mesas, used much like you describe, just a small amount of fuzz and a slight level boost. Makes for a great, mid-heavy and round noodling tone at home, and a nice, thick, almost Sabbath-y fuzzy tone turned up loud with the band. Also very responsive to rolling off the volume for a nice Dickie Betts/early Clapton/ZZ kind of sweetness.

Loved it with the Dyne and a Rectoverb 25 I had, not so much with the Stiletto. I was a bit worried it wouldn’t gel with the VII, but it does, in a big way.

I bet the fuzz ends up fighting the bright cap on the Stiletto. I have to bypass my input bright cap on my 2204 to get fuzz to work. Same with the Deluxe Reverb. Dirt just hates bright caps.

Yes, I think you’re right, I wondered the same.
