The Eagle Has Landed!!! Sadowsky All-Tube Head!!!

[tombowlus]

I am really pressed for time right now, but I am so excited, I have to share these quick shots:

Man, if there's a better looking rig than that, I have not seen it yet! (of course there is better looking carpeting, and better photography...)

It is a very compact head, and it fits nicely atop a Bergantino NV-series cab:

Talk about compact, the package was very svelt, and smartly done! (Yes, I was so excited that I took a picture of the amp in the box, before I took it out!)

How's about a little tube glow!

I promise more details, and hopefully better photos, later, but let me say for now that this amp is plenty loud! It pushed the NV215 quite hard, but with excellent control. And the EQ is extremely flexible. I'll try to get more detailed later, but let me say that I could easily dial in a number of excellent tones with this amp (and yes, having both a 40 Hz and an 80 Hz control leads to some interesting combinations!).

Gotta run, Tom.

Daaaaammmmmmnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!

What a setup you've got there Tom! Can you imagine that with an NV610 AND the NV215?

I've never heard anyone call a 4-RU head compact... must be because of that Sadowsky logo...

 

[emjazz]

Hey Tom, make sure you put a passive J bass or a P bass through that amazing setup. It's screaming for it!

Congrats Tom. I can't wait for the detailed review on your blog

I'm not a 'tube amp / 15" speaker' guy.... but if anything could tempt me, it would be that rig. Just beautiful!

Tom, i still don't believe it's actually in your basement! You can do amazing things these days with photoshop. The only way to make a believer out of me is for you to journey up to LDS for an official audition! So, When are you coming up here?

Tom,

Sell everything you own and give it to the orphans.

The GAS orphans that is.

 

[pjhandlin]

Wow. The visual image of that Sad/Berg setup is powerful. My mind is trying to calculate the tone possibilities....

Congrats Tom! Can't wait to read about what cabs exhibit the greatest synergy with your new amp.

That may just be the baddest rig/bass set-up i've ever seen.
You're a lucky, lucky fella.

Congratuations. The one thing I noticed immediately is that it has nice large power and standby switches on the front of the amp. Obviously, that part of the layout was designed by someone with some experience fumbling around at the back of an amp on a crowed small stage.

 

[nysbob]

I could deal with that rig very, very easily.

Bastage!

You are not helping my tube amp g.a.s. We expect a detailed review. Nice cab, too.
