Hi all I just got a Nova head 3 days ago. I got took advantage of Sweetwater’s holiday 36 months 0% interest on it’s last day. I needed another amp like I need a hole in my head, but after listening to Dave Baker’s and Lance Keltner’s review and Sweetwater’s deal, I just couldn’t resist.
I have been playing it thru my 2 different Dr Z 1x12 cabs. One of them has a G12h speaker like the combo version. The other has a Creamback. I mostly been using my Les Paul RI60 and my PRS Custom 24. The tones are awesome !!! Tried my Strat for about 5 minutes but not as impressed. Hopefully spending some more time dialing it in end will change my mind. Even if I never really end up liking the Strat thru it, the tone with Humbuckers is well worth the price.

I hate to say I told you so, but I tell everybody so! The Nova is a fabulous amp and with my Firebird I can do almost any gig with no pedals at all. Maybe some delay or chorus in the loop, but it's so fat and sweet that just with channel switching and guitar controls I can get a ton of different tone. I love this amp. Glad you're diggin' yours too, david62...it grows on me more every time I plug into it.

The NOVA is turning into a "must have" amp. It takes all the greatness of a Galaxie and sweetens it up into a very controlable yummy sounding package!! Also, welcome to the NOVA club!! What seriel number do you have? Todd
