Looks cool! The heads being wider than the cabs would drive me nuts though haha! I'd stack them vertically then heads stacked centered on top. I know I'm ridiculous, sorry! Can't wait to here the beast -S

Re: NAD x2 - Petersburg P100s - New Photos

So true what you say! Believe your ears I finally learned thats the trick. I love the big M but I wanted something more !! I did want joes sound but I can't achieve that until you have the exact set up !! It's in the fingers my friends!  I found my amp and I'm gonna stick with it!!  Budda amps are great amps and when I closed my eyes I knew that's what iv been after!! I will vouch for the ev speakers tho !! They sound amazing'

Announce the time of test and I'll roll down the window. Should I renew the earthquake putty on the bric-a-brac?
Those things could live through a nuclear blast. Awesome!

Oh, I have this problem too. These are standard sized heads...just the cabs are naturally more 'compact'...but I could never get rid of them, because they weigh less than half a 4x12 and have more than double the openness...again...believe the ears..took me a few years to cotton onto these.
I've moved on from the cosmetics...a long time ago in fact...I mean, the heads are workhorses from Russia...no boutique pansies that look like they should be on your ladies' dressing table.
Sounds up as soon as...camera is good SLR...just need a suitable mic.

Re: NAD x2 - Petersburg P100s - New Photos

Rig looks fine to me.  It used to bother me that my old Bandmaster head was wider than my Marshall 4x10 but it rocks.  I look forward to hearing this set up. Ted Nugent used to say his rig "could blow the &@$$* off a charging rhino at fifty paces". I'd say this rig could put the hurt on one too.

Re: NAD x2 - Petersburg P100s - New Photos

I recall you posting a video some time back of one head and cab. Those heads just plain look cool! I like the symmetry of the knob placement for the photo too.. It would be cool rolling them into a venue, nobody would have a clue what they were- instant badass status! They do look like they'd be workhorses of an amp too.

Re: NAD x2 - Petersburg P100s - New Photos

I know it's an old topic to bring up, but saves starting a new one...and some new photos for the real amp lovers out there....side by side with a 70s Plexi...guess which one wins? Sounds increddddible. I need to buy the worlds stock of these...
Thought it might be something different that your everyday DSL.
Please enjoy and I'll 'attempt' to answer questions.

Built to withstand a bomb hit with massive transformers. I've worked on some of that era's stuff. Love the phenolic pcb.

Re: NAD x2 - Petersburg P100s - New Photos

I gotta say I think you got one of the nicest flamed top Standards around.  The amps are icing on the cake my friend.

Oh thanks... smile
Flame isn't a big deal for me...it just happens to be the best sounding Standard this side of '59...I went to a big music shop last week to try out all the Custom Shop stuff...R8 and R9 etc...not only does this play better than all but one, it also sounds better...
Weighs a fair bit for a Standard, a lot heavier than anything made since 2005...and it has its own vibes going on. A very lucky purchase.

Awesome I love the flame on your les. Be prepared to purchase new windows when you light that rig up.
