Incoming Double NAD: What could they be? Rolands, that's what.

Post by JSett » Sun Jul 17, 2022 8:46 pm

Do we still enjoy these guessing games at all?

I have secured a pair of amps that I should be able to collect Tuesday evening. I'm not paying much for them and they are not my usual affair. I have owned one of these back in the 90's (I paid £40 for it I think) then traded it in towards a red knob twin.

Two Clues:

1) They do not have black Tolex (both are different colours as well)
2) They were launched in the 70's

Now I'm sad it's not :(

Unfortunately, no, I wish they were as fun as those...but they're much more pedestrian

Okay admittedly I was taking the p*ss with the Gorillas, but this is a good call…

I’m going to guess a pair of Trace Elliot Velocettes.

Ironically, you're not a million miles away with those.

There's one for sale nearby at the moment, coincidentally.

Crate is my other guess, but the color thing is throwing me off. The Vintage Club series came in that cream tolex, but I’m not aware of other non-black colors.

They have to be DIFFERENT colors. Pair of Marshall 2060s?

Getting further away now. A couple more clues:

1) The main one of the pair (the most commonly seen one as well) has essentially a Fender AB763 tonestack - bar some small component value changes.

2) No valves.

There was the Blue Voodoo, but that was later and has tubes/valves...

Well dang, the only other thing I can think right now is about as far from the Gorilla as you could get, and that's a Jimmy Bean. But I might poo myself that turns out to be the case (also I'm only aware of the single denim "color scheme").

Honestly, they're FAR less interesting than that :D

This is going to be the biggest anti-climax hahahah
