Make sure to get 54UGB (they are awesome) power tube and put the amp on 50W setting...use the settings in the video! Also, use the 4ohm outlet...gives you a darker sound with the cab.

[mrboverbro]

how can you get that tone out of that amp

the distortion channel sucks an mine

[brownhog72]

Look at the video and twist the knowbs into the same setting (copy my settings). Also, use teh amp in 50 watt mode and use the 4 ohm speaker outlets.

[brownhog72]

overdrive helps too!!

[allourep]

I have one of these and I understand what you mean about sweet spots. I always would write my settings down but lose the paper. Can you recommend some settings for the channels?? That would be awesome.

[brownhog72]

Watch the close ups and copy them. Also, set the amp up on 50W and use teh 4 ohm output. It is nicer!

the fact that he is wearing hatebreed shirt and playing free fallin is simply hilarious

Very Good Brownhog!!I had the 55 watt head, and it really needed that 5 Band EQ. I tried outboard EQs, but it is definitely not the same as the onboard Mesa 5 Band.Big difference having that EQ, it will make, or Break eh amp. I have a Mesa QUAD going into the 295 MESA Simul, and with that EQ Forget about it. It is so versatile, and gives it amazing tone, from MK II C, all the way to Recto Killer tone. Let me know waht you think about this Nomad 100 compared to the RECTO Thanks Jim

tune pls

[tatsandteles]

@zeqpic I didn't say that. That would be idiotic. The knobs for each channel are independant to that channel. What I said was how every knob, when turned in a particular channel, affect how the other knobs in that channel respond. It also affects how the channels gain is affected. It's like a never ending tail chasing experience. And God forbid you should change guitars. Then the process starts all over again.  By the way, I currently own 2 Mesa amps so it isn't just Mesa hate here.

[zeqpic]

@tatsandteles not true, there are mesa boogies where really all knobs affect all channels. But with the mesa boogie nomad 100, the knobs only affect their channel, so if you change the 3th channel completely, it wont affect the first one.

Dude!!!...nice razorback v
