NAD, first tube amp! (YJM100 inside, pictureheavy)

pred1993 · 11-07-2011, 12:24 PM

Finally the beauty/beast has arrived! So far I love it, it does just about anything I want it to do. It's getting a bit late though, so I will let it rest until tomorrow. I figured I'd show off some pics though! (sorry for bad quality, iPhone ya know...)

Little group picture.^

And a hairy Yngwie on the owner's manual cover.

PS. I love the attenuator, it's just perfect for my needs.

longfxukxnhair · 11-07-2011, 12:34 PM

Its beautiful

big dooley · 11-07-2011, 12:35 PM

for a first tube amp, you've picked one hell of a model...

congratulations!!!

Dingle87 · 11-07-2011, 12:37 PM

Stick with the MG mate, much better than that YJM piece of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pred1993 · 11-07-2011, 12:40 PM

Figured I'd throw in a couple of more pics.

Haha yeah I know, I'll have to sell it right away. I'll give you a good deal.

Seriously though, it's the best amp I've ever heard, and it's so versitile. I just love it, it's def a keeper.

treetrunk · 11-07-2011, 12:48 PM

I'd keep both. Use the MG for practice, and the YJM for those special starlight nights - the moon by the window, the tubes keeping you warm, and the les Paul singing the blues....

Crunchifyable · 11-07-2011, 12:51 PM

Wow. Just wow. Hehe, that may just be the last tube amp you'll ever need

.

With its powerscaling, that YJM has to be the ultimate (so far) plexi reissue

Yep, that's exactly what I'm planning on doing.

I can't wait to get my strat back home and plug it in though.

Yeah, I'm trying to be future proof...or more like trying to convince myself there is such a thing as "future proof".

Holme · 11-07-2011, 01:00 PM

Hi pred1993 how are you finding it for indoor use?
I'm waiting for mine delivering some time this month & am a bit weary of how low it'll actually go & what it'll sound like at living room levels lol?!

Yeah that was one of my worries as well. To give you a short answer; it's awesome. I don't normally play that quiet, but I had to test it out though; so I played on what I'd refer to as "library level"

, and it still sounded really nice. Basically like a cranked marshall tone-wise but on a really low volume. It lived up to all my expectations though, and more.

I am sure you will enjoy your's just as much as I've enjoyed mine so far.

Cheers.

SmokeyDopey · 11-07-2011, 01:53 PM

PuroMojo · 11-07-2011, 02:38 PM

TyrackT71 · 11-07-2011, 05:46 PM

That's one epic first tube amp!! mine was only a super lame JCM800

MonstersOfTheMidway · 11-07-2011, 05:50 PM

Congratulations. The YJM100 looks great. I've heard some soundclips elsewhere and so far the results were great.

I kinda wished that they had asked YJM to also design some speakers and a cabinet to go along with his new YJM100. I'd be interested in seeing what he would come up with (ooops, did I just give away Marshall's best keep secret for 2011?)

I like crunchifyable's comment on YJM being a kind of ultimate plexi reissue. I left Marshall a comment on facebook saying that when you consider all the modern technology incorporated into this plexi-style Marshall head, they could have easily (and more aptly) nicknamed this amp the true Vintage Modern.

Yeah it sure is an awesome amp. And yeah it's a shame they didn't let him design that, would have been nice to pair it up with that.

big dooley · 11-08-2011, 11:45 AM

yngwie uses T75's... nothing to get excited about

GIBSON67 · 11-08-2011, 11:46 AM

Awesome amp, good first tube amp, fo sho!

Australian · 11-08-2011, 11:46 AM

Awesome amp. Congrats. I'd love to try one soon.

pred1993 · 11-09-2011, 01:23 PM

simple, take a 1960AX, cannibalize the greenbacks, throw them away and put T75's in the bloody cab...
