NAD: Hovercraft Dwarvenaut
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2014 1:39 am
sup duders, i hopped on the last run of dwarvenauts and its finally here!
single channel head
2x EL84 20w power section
3x 12AX7 preamp
Matamp Green
Sounds amazing in C standard through my RGA121 with a warpig in the bridge. for those unfamiliar with these, the guy who owns solid cables takes old amps that people send in and he totally revamps them. the 20w dwarvenauts are made from old jet city heads i believe. you can choose your tolex color, faceplate, and knobs as well as request it to be based on existing circuits like an or120 or something. check out his site here: http://www.hovercraftamps.com/
the voice shape switch goes from a sunn model T voicing, an orange/matamp voice, and a more modern marshall esq voice. this particular amp is based on the amp weedeater used to record their upcoming LP which was also made by hovercraft (which i was actually about to buy but someone beat me to it).
The low end on this thing is absolutely ridiculous. cleans up nicely and has gobs of gain. if you want stoner doom in a head, this is it!
Bottom line, I had no idea that a 20w amp could get this heavy. i am very pleased and i will be checking them out again!
