NAD Orange Thunderverb 200

[MoistTowelette]

This is my 3rd or 4th TVerb at this point (not included the dual dark, which has pretty much the same vibe). I keep selling them off and immediately regretting it. Super heavy amp with some of the largest transformers I've seen. Channel B is so fucking good. Channel A is way more dark and mid forward. Much less modern sounding than B but with an eq in the loop, it gives the B channel a run for its money. The "attenuator" knob plays a big role in the tone (not a real attenuator, just a post phase inverter MV from what I've seen online). Turning up the attenuation and channel volume increases the gain and shifts the tone around a bit.

Looks delicious (and heavy), Congrats!
Are you using it for Bass or Guitar?

Sick! I have a Dual Dark 100 but personally I wonder if that was a mistake and I should have gone Tverb 200. Didn't Josh Middleton use one of these?

He demo'd one but it was owned by Alex Bailey.



I actually like the Tverb here more, even though it has less gain. I still prefer the Rockerverb tho

...though you can't beat 200 watts of fuck you here.

I mean, the dual dark is sick too. Originally, I was looking for a cheap 100 but found the tverb instead.

Neato, what's the deal with the actual 100W tube selection? Can you mix tube types?

Incidentially, I have the cab they made for this amp. Got it for $400 mint.

I’ve never heard one of these in person. What amp do they sound like? I’ve read they’re thick, so I assume they’re saturated, but I don’t know if they’re recto-like, or super tight, or what.

Nice grab! I missed out on one of these locally a while back and have been curious about them ever since

I'm not entirely sure. I'm guessing its so that if you run it at 100W, you can switch pairs so that you don't just wear down one pair of tubes.

Yeah thick and saturated. It can get some fuzz to the tone and mid-forward depending on how you have it dialed in. It's pretty loose without a boost.
