Title: NAD - Champ Ultra Post by: hipofutura on February 14, 2010, 04:42:47 PM I had one of Nik's Vibro Champs, but sold it last year. I immediately realized I'd made a mistake so I bought a new Champ Ultra. I am now happy once again. Every guitar player should have one of these amps!
I had Sourmash make the 1x10 combo cab, and I installed a 10" Weber alnico. I love this little amp! It gets more use than my Bluesmaster. Title: Re: NAD - Champ Ultra Post by: cmoore on February 14, 2010, 09:20:22 PM Wow !
That really is a handsome little amp. We have a Vibro Champ clone that I built from one of Nik's kits. Looks like the "Ultra" switches out the tone stack. Maybe that is kind of like a "Tweed" switch. At any rate.... I do not think most people realize what a great sounding amp this is. I guess they are put off by its size or low wattage, or maybe the 8" speaker that came in the old Fenders. Ours is a head, it is as good a guitar amp as any others we have, and we have a lot of amps. For recording, small gigs, gigs with good PA/Monitor support these amps are awesome. They have a great overdriven sound and a great clean tone as well. And that Tremolo..... That is a great speaker you chose. You put something together that may well be with you for the rest of your life. Good Luck |
