NAD - Vyse amps - jazz king

I sold my rockerverb and cab because it was too much to honk around. As much as I love the helix. Sometimes you just want a nice simple amp to play through.

I loved the cleans of the riveria and fancied a victory v40. I asked @TheMarlin about this one. He then offered it to me at an absolute steal. So I had to say yes. I wanted a cathode bias amp and something that didn't weigh a tonne.

Due to family circumstances I haven't played it much. I met the lovely Paul very briefly at a services this morning.
The cab is an old sw cab with fanes in. Sounds a bit boomy so may have to make it open backed.

Having the cab in a corner will increase the boom   

Hope you enjoy it, it’s a cracker, it really is. 

At home volumes, I loved it with a pre amp pedal (Nocturne Brain, Mad Professor Simble pre driver etc) and a touch of boost. 

It makes the notes pop out a little, and enhances pick attach.  Play light, clean, play harder, edge of breakup, and dig in, the windows pop out of their frames. I love that physical delivery of power. 

Also, wind down the Master volume and raise the volume, you get 70’s rock at neighbour friendly levels. 

It really is a very versatile amp when you get used to it. Sounds wonderful too, no hiss, no noise, just wonderful tone. 

Enjoy. Happy to buy it back if you don’t bond with it.

Also, will take 6L6’s or 6V6

Thanks mate. I am that prick, I won a boss waza craft blues driver last week in the guitar give away contest. Having just won a american special strat my friends were a tad cheesed off! 

I'm looking forward to experimenting with the amp. You are dead right it's whisper quiet which is fantastic. 

And yes you have first refusal if I don't get on with it.

Thanks again

Excellent!

Does this one have a variable negative feedback control on the back and an effects loop? If so, I was the original owner haha! I liked this amp a lot but sold it to buy a combo (should have probably asked for it to be made into a combo when I bought it, but at the time I had two cabs knocking about). If I remember correctly, I put quite a nice NOS PI valve in it.

Haha no way! The amp did a little tour of the UK before coming back lol. I used to love playing through that amp with a nice bit of reverb, such a great sound.

Yup. This is your one @Jazzy_Jake ;

Its the bees knees and I’d have loved to have tried it with some 6v6s before it went off
