NAD: Frenzel HBX-15

PaulF · 03-28-2010, 10:45 PM

Hello,

I bought this Frenzel HBX-15 at the end of November and just got it now. It was waiting for me in Texas, but I just hadn't been able to pick it up until today (I live in Mexico).

I don't have a guitar with me, and I'm at a hotel, so all I can do is stare at the amp :P. I'll be able to use it in about a week.
Smells really new, looks good, and was packed really really well.

I can't really do much of a review, apart from share photos. So here they are:

Two new photos of the great wiring inside:

Thanks Jim Frenzel

If anyone wants any more shots, or higher resolution photos, let me know

Well, as long as it smells good, you're set.

Congrats!

I always wondered if I was the only one who smelled their new gear....

I have the 30. I'll be interested to hear what you think. I never engage the NFB on mine.

I LOVE that amp.

How is the balance between channels? Mine has two sets of controls and balancing the levels is the one thing I HATE about the amp. I wonder if it is easier.

You will need an A/B/Y to get the most out of that amp though.

I won't be able to use it until next week :/

I have an A/B Pedal, not an AB/Y. But I'm pretty excited to try this amp, and found out about Frenzel though your posts

This is my first tube amp, having a 40 watt Fender Frontman before this. Pretty sure this is a huge step up.
Now I just need to learn to play properly

Just got home, and its about 2am. Plugged it in, played a few chords at the lowest possible volume, and it sounds great

Tomorrow in the morning, I'll actually get to play it though :P
