Just curious...why would you buy a Nomad?

For great cleans with good gain buy an F-50 or F-30.
For Recto tones and great gain get a Rectoverb or DR.
For Blues/Classic Rock and the BEST cleans get a Lonestar.
For an English flavor get a Stilleto.
For a all in one amp/workhorse get a Roadster or Road King.
Thanks!

You have obviously never tried a Nomad 100 cranked through a 4-12 cab with Greenbacks. Really has a sound that is a cross between a MarkIV and a Marshall JCM 800. You'd be very surprised how articulate and punchy these are. Yeah, it's that good.
(Though not the Nomad 45 or 55. They really need that graphic EQ).
Yes, the Nomad 100, orange channel, through a 412 is powerful and toneful. This is the way a Nomad should sound. The 212 combo format I have can be too open and breathy at times, but in my Celestion loaded 412 it's tight and punchy. I use both speaker formats, employing a Sound Sculpture PowerSwap to switch speakers cabs via midi.TheRazMeister said:I haven't tried the 100 but when I was Mesa shopping the store guys kept plugging me into a Nomad combo that left me thinking that Mesa's were a bit overrated. Granted, I didn't spend an hour tweaking as I should with any Mesa, but I then tried another Nomad after being a Mesa owner for a year and again wasn't overly impressed. I think I just like the voicing on the newer amps....It's all personal and just as I love my LP, there are those that would rather have a Strat.... 8)

I own TWO Dual Rectos, TWO Tremoverbs and a MarkIV rackmount.
My set up is complex.... I run two heads at once, one is set for dirty all the time, and one is set for clean all the time. I pan between them to build up or down the songs....
I was thinking of getting something smaller than a TOV for one of my cleans (since it seems like overkill to use a big ole heavy amp just for a clean channel). And it's killing my back!!
I was wondering if a smaller, lighter amp like a DC-5, Nomad 55 or Rectoverb would do for a good clean channel (cuz I'll always use Duals for my dirty).
Dig?
this man tells the truth. i have this exact setup only without greenbacks, i have the stock g12h75's. and the pushed on ch1 is a wonderful sound to my ears. the reverb is great on the nomads. the graphic EQ is really nice when i can't quite get to "that" tone. ch 2 is awesome. i don't see the need to use a single pedal with this. except for maybe the non-dist. effects or something like a digitech grunge to get heavier sounds. i'm not going to lie, ch 3 is over-saturated and quiet. i don't know how that works out but it does. i use mine through a stock squeir affinity strat it sounds wonderful :shock:. the cleans are amazing.Nomad100 said:Just curious...why would you buy a Nomad?

they get great cleans but you might want to use an eq pedal in the fx loop if you're going to get the 55. which is understandable my nomad is HEAVY! let alone the cab, which is just akward. the nice thing on the nomad is that you can mix in the percentage of fx power on the fx loop. and on something like an eq that gives you litmitless tones. believe me the dist. is wonderful! you should need any pedals unless you're more of an ambient guy. it takes my bp200 just fine. it gets a little dark and i put infront of the guitar, before the amp. but that's what the presence was made forlookslikemeband said:
