NAD Silvertone 1482

[Rambozo96]

Just scored this from GC a week ago. Such a raunchy little amp. The undersized power transformer and minimal filtering with a tube rec seems to give these a trashy version of a BF Fender Tremolux. I currently run both inputs dimed to really give it drive,

Yeah, Silvertone/Danelectro amps are fun!

I've always wanted to try one of those out but never have. As many do, I love the trashy sound of smaller older tube amps. Have fun with it!

Great get! Those are fun little amps. Turn it up!

Those are great little amps! I bought one brand new to go along with my silvertone guitar @1963; 60 years ago. Yikes! Loved and miss, to this day, the Sears catalogue. I think it was about $95.

I gave the guitar and amp to one of my brothers when I gave up guitars for a few years. He had it for a long time. A few years ago, I told him they were selling for $600 to $800 on ebay. He was surprised.

I asked him if he still has it? He said he had a pipe burst a few years ago and it got wet. How bad I don't know. He chucked it.

On a side note, I also all but gave him a 1967 Pontiac GTO, mistake #2. He didn't have it a month when he totaled it.
