Title: NAD Soon to be my new toy (mjw roadstar 18 1x10)
Post by: joeyh1485 on September 21, 2011, 04:26:28 PM

I will soon be the proud owner of this great amp, i largely chose to go with MJW because of reviews on this site and a few others

I am taking delivery at the end of the month  :D

The whole process has been a pleasure from start to finish and i couldnt be happier with the was the amp looks and judging off the youtube video's martin has put up it sounds just as fantastic! i would highly recommend anybody thinking about a new amp go down the MJW route. 

so without further adew heres a link to some of the video's what do you guys think?

A klone you say, i will have to look into one.  So far i was planning to run my nova system through the effects loop and i have a boutique zvex super hard on copy to go in the front for a boost.  To be honest i was thinking about just using the guitars volume for my lead tone.

Still loving my Roadstar 36.  I've not looked back since going the MJW route!

me too. I've got a Roadstar 36 going into a 1x15" and it is a joy to play through...Martin is a very clever and capable guy - quite simply he built me an amp that made me and the music I play sound better, now how cool is that!

Another +1 forMJW. I regretted seling my Martamp Deluxe so snapped up the MJW Bantam as soon as it became available (thanks to Wez for pointing it out to me). I even splashed out and bought a matching 1x12 lightweight cab to go with it. I've not played it much due to recent additions to my family but it is a keeper and will be used extensively in the years tocome!

I like my Martamps/MJWs as well. :) Plus he's right up the road from me so I can go throw stones at him should have the need.

And another vote for Martin.  I have a Roadstar 36 with power scaling.  It's the one in these video's:

I picked it up in England on my last trip over and brought it back here (in a flightcase).  Changed the voltage selector, plugged it in and off it went.  I did get stopped by customs here as I declared the amp & my 2 Juansolo pedals.  Total customs duty on $700 excess was $21!
