NAD - a £10 amp...

57Deluxe57Deluxe Frets: 7344
...not overly proud of myself, but it will do for off-site guitar lessons where I can't be arsed to tool-up too much

Tenner though...

    I had a Line 6 Spider amp that I couldn't wait to get rid off so I was delighted when I managed to swap it for one those. They're good little practice amps.

    I think was being used as a Karaoke amp or for bingo calling cos came with a weighty mic! Anyway will do a job and be used for its proper purpose now! Cheers.

  • Bargain. I got one of these for £15. 

    Worth every penny, mind, decent cleans and a nice enough overdrive. Cleans up on the volume knob, too. Lot of amp for a tenner :)

    Old cheap amps have something about them.

    Just sold my old Marshall MG250DFX for £50 which is a bargain for him, its too damn big for me as a home player but its a lot of amp for £50, bad reputation notwithstanding.

    I actually still have an old G30RCD cheapo Marshall as well, which, possibly due to age and being a bit knackered, has developed a rather nice clean channel!

  • i picked up a 15r (i think its the same but with reverb)  clean channel isnt bad. much better than the practise amps that were around when i was a youngster

    Ten bloody quid???? o
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Nothing wrong with that, especially for a tenner! I prefer the one with reverb and I'm not a fan of the distortion channel really - even though I can make it sound OK - but if you can't get a passable sound out of one, the problem isn't in the amp.

    Yes the Dist chn can be made to work but you need to get good EQ balance and not dial past gain2 - more an edge than fizz but I can see that most kids would be belting the Gain out at 10 thinking this was the way to get 'that' sound!

    The 8" speaker handles quite a wide range of frequencies too.
