Continuing the NADs, this arrived today. Almost embarrassed to post it as I’m very much a bedroom player these days and don’t even get to use the speaker often, mostly go through headphones on a UA OX.
Defiantly an extravagance.
Hey ho, justified as I’m not an amp whore (my last amp has been with me for 7 years and this needs to stay as long) and I’m going down to two electrics and slimming down my pedalboard. So there! Will take some proper photos when light allows, teaser for now.
Oh, and initial test: sounds glorious.

Very similar aesthetic to the NAD I'm waiting for, but have been told there are none in the UK yet ( https://www.andertons.co.uk/friedman-jj-junior-jerry-cantrell-signature-20w-guitar-amp-head .
I just went through the stages of disbelief, betrayal, jealously, and realisation I'm being a tit, in around 3 seconds.
happy NAD no need to justify yourself here!

Lots of use treating ourselves with amps!
Must be the guitar equivalent of getting a summer body - getting a summer tone!

It must be really good to replace the Sportsman !
Mind you, I do think DR Z are underrated in many ways over here. Ive literally never played a bad one, and some of them have been as good as Ive heard.
Hows the volume at home, or are you using the OX to attenuate ?
Looks cracking mate
But I will say this: before the above, it sounded bloody fantastic, proper huge scale blackface+ tones, and Peach have been as plain and easy to deal with as ever, still my first choice shop for “big” purchases.
So amp quest continues, Suhr Bella maybe or Carr Rambler next on the list, but def going to get to a shop to try this time.
