Mesa Boogie Nomad 55 vs Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier 3ch 100w |Hgh Gain Amp Shootout
Viewer 14 checking in lol, that fuckin Nomad sounds sick!
ReplyDeleteI can see the nomad having a great place in the doom, sludge metal arena, but it doesn't beat that Recto
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for something to provide some midrange to my tone. I'm currently running a Roadking but I was thinking do a Bi-amp of the road king dialed for low and high and a Nomad for midrange. A lot of people seem to be doing that with Rectos and 800's, or Rectos and Mark V's so I was thinking the Nomad would prolly be a good option.
ReplyDeleteI'VE BEEN SINGING THE NOMAD 55 PRAISES FOR YEEEEEEEAAAAAARRRRRRRRSSSSSSS!
ReplyDelete...and no one would believe me!
I engineer/produce/own a recording studio and before that played in some bands.
Sound guys loved my tone live because it was controlled in the low end and super interesting and in-it's-own-space in the mids. My bands always sounded good even when our music was...sometimes under-appreciated by an audience. ;)
People who see the amp in my studio often pass it up because it's not a Mark V or Triple Crown or Rectifier. In my opinion, keeping an artist happy and enthusiastic is important so we'll often move on to a different amp. But I often reamp through it and blend with the original amp to get a tone that ACTUALLY WORKS in a mix.
I've been primarily only mixing lately (boo Covid) but I can't wait to get people back into the studio to use the Nomad with an EQ pedal in the effects loop. I was thinking it would be a great spot to push some of the lows that are shaved out by the preamp section.
Quick question: are you on 6L6 or EL34 tubes? Have you tried the other?
That's all. Great video!
You're Basically here because you've found a Mesa Nomad Used somewhere for a good price! I'll tell you right away: DO IT! It's a great amp with different Mid Controls. Not exactly a Dual Rectifier... but a great amp! Cheers -Ryan
ReplyDeleteI've not seen any nomads for sale, but the notification of a new vid did pop up. Perhaps I'm biased because I owned a atri Rec, But I prefer the Dual, sounds less harsh and beefier.
ReplyDeleteBoth sounded good but love the rec
ReplyDeleteYay I'm one of the 13 or 14
