NAD - Runt 50 w/Hot Mod

Post by sahlomonic »

I regret selling the one I owned nearly a decade ago, and had to jump on this one. Bought from napalmdeath on R/T, and he tossed in the Hot Mod for pennies. I forgot how good these sounded out of the box, but man the Hot Mod is really something else. I think with the gain switch Off, and the amp gain around noon, it's perfect. I guess it's kinda like a poor man's BE-100 on the HBE channel. I recently sold my Friedman modded JCA20H and I was missing that style of tone, so this was good timing. I haven't pulled the chassis to see if it has the brand of caps that Dave said were semi-prone to failure, so I'll have to check that out soon.

Runt + Lynchbacks = good, but kinda dark
Runt + V30s = great, tight lows
Runt + Blackbacks = godly all around

I don't think I'm going to Billy this one :lol:
