NAD Bugera T5 & cab- lil Monster !!

First time i have played guitar for 4 hours straight since 2021, The shear enjoyment of 1 pre tube & 1 power tube, one the most touch sensitive amps ever played.

Its like 2 amps with or without phat switch engaged. The eq shift is very deep/dirty.
The amp is a dime it & use guitar vol & tone knobs for control. Its all right there. have this pedal set up

Orange baby> SD-1>f56 Formula>Klon clone >karma suture>belle echoplex.

My gosh pandoras box of creativity opened up.
The sensitivity tends to lead me to lots of volume & tone adjustments on guitar while in context of same song. The dynamics is so much fun maybe vs the full rig & always so hyped up at volume

Also, that Wilder speaker was a fun lookup..outta Chicago back in late 60's early 70's. I treasure unique cause of all original music. Also the 12" speaker crammed in that small cab with just the right circle open in back , it handled the palm mutes & also has no weak eq range. very interested to record this. Sure did inspire quite a few song possibilities.

That last pedal is a Royal Hall clone on left button & on right is a super hard on boost clone circuit. Insane ability to have a completely dif eq at end of the board, basically ads a channel. The Driver mk2 is all germanium hand built very precise pedal.

Congratulations! HNAD!
I’ve been playing the snot outta my little Valve Jr combo with the stock 8” Eminence speaker lately…pretty much the same feelings…less control options though. I have an “off/on” switch, and a volume knob. With some pedals up front, it has been quite fun. Good luck with your single ended 5 watter!

hey buddy, it sure is addictive huh ! The simplicity & pure playing seems to come natural out of the lil buggers. Didn't Jimmy Page use a small fender vs big stacks on a lot of those classic Zep recordings?

It seems backwards but the tonal clarity of a small set up over driving early & at reasonable levels, was siiting up close to it & had to turn it down actually but man can not wait to mic this thing & hit record !!
