Title: NAD! MJW Cub.
Post by: martinw on June 30, 2010, 09:26:05 PM: Well, I have had some of this set up for a while, but just got the badges to finish it today. And yes, it is mine, as I've finally had time to build an amp for myself. Doesn't happen often! :D
I hope you can get an idea of it's size from the knobs etc. The cab is a 1x10 with a Tayden True Brit.
At last got something to practise with, now I just need some time to practise. :?

Is that a smaller MJW logo plate? Looking at the size of the amp relative to the knobs is looks a similar size the the Goldstar power amp, only marginally wider, but the plate looks way smaller...

Yes, it is a smaller badge. 50mm top to bottom, a special one just for the Cub.

You really need a Gibson Voodoo guitar to go with the finish!

It does match my Explorer's case.

Nice.

Tonally, it's quite Marshally when cranked, but the semi-cleans are a bit rounder and sparklier. There's a good clip on my MySpace page, recorded very kindly at our own Tom J.'s. :)

Post by: AndyR on July 01, 2010, 01:36:02 PM: Personally, I don't often get this from an amp of any description... but that looks really, really tasty :D

Post by: tomjackson on July 01, 2010, 02:17:16 PM: This is a geat little amp, real cranked AC/DC sounds at home volume levels but as Martin says it has nice cleans too. Was a pleasure to have a go on!

Thanks.
3 valves, all genuine point-to-point (no turret board), push-pull output stage, simple all-valve signal path. 1 Watt fully cranked! :)
