Re: 2555x blown up

Yours must have just been an odd dud.

Mine's still working fine and it's been gigged heavily and cranked all the time!

Your next one will be fine I'm sure!

Re: 535q Wah broken?

no, its fine with the fuzz, plus the fuzz is in front of the wah anyway.

I think its a bad pot, i'll take it to a tech and see what he can do.

535q Wah broken?

I've owned and used my dunlop 535q wah a lot for the past 5 years and its recently started to oscillate and have a reduced sweep. Does anyone know what this problem is? Signal chain is as follows; fuzz,tuner,wah,flanger,boost,chorus, amp I heard somewhere that the pots can wear out or is it a bad in...

Re: NAD 2555x will be here tomorrow.

I found the volume to be the same, all the volume comes between 7 and 10.

I find that better as it means you can get all that EL34 distortion! More than loud enough for gigs though!

Re: NAD 2555x will be here tomorrow.

It sounded great with greenbacks with those settings with both my les paul and strat!

just don't put the bass higher than 8, I found it flubbed out above that (might just be my cab though)

Re: NAD 2555x will be here tomorrow.

Not overly, I just like a slightly darker sound and those setting fitted into my bands sonic context the best.

It was slightly brighter because of the greenbacks i'm currently using but not overly so.

Re: NAD 2555x will be here tomorrow.

I Found that you really need to crank these, but boy is it worth it!

The settings I went for in the end were;

Presence:4
Bass:8
Middle:6
Treble:4
Output master:10
Lead master:10
Input gain:6

New Amp Day!!!

So I finally managed to get my hands on my 2555x head yesterday and really put the thing through it's paces. The first thing to mention is that the amp is TRULY stunning! the silver tolex and chrome paneling just give it a great distinctive look that luckily is almost the same colour as our drummer'...

Re: 2555x Shipped!

Lets hope I get in the Single digits haha! I think the external bias points are a great idea, means people like me who aren't 100% competent with amps can still bias and re-valve without having to pay a fortune at a tech's. On the 2203x, Its now the most expensive vintage reissue out there apart fro...

Re: 2555x Shipped!

Well the fact that it was £300 cheaper than a 2203x had something to do with me buying one!

As well as it being a fantastic amp used on so many of my favourite records!
