Members ratter Posted October 22, 2006 Members Share Posted October 22, 2006 The title says it all. Any SD60 owners that can chime in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pir Posted October 22, 2006 Members Share Posted October 22, 2006 I have had my SD60 for ~5years. The master volume circuit is great. It sounds incredible at low volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members illini Posted October 22, 2006 Members Share Posted October 22, 2006 I have an Electroverb 38 that works at low volumes, but also lower wattage than the amp you are asking about. That being said, one of the selling points for these amps at the time were that they all sounded great at lower volumes. I haven't played one that sounded like it had to be turned up really loud to hit the sweet spot. Are you looking to pick up a new one, or have you found an original?

Members ratter Posted October 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted October 22, 2006 There are a couple originals out there for sale. It's one option I'm considering...I need to sell my current amp first though. But the Naylor is one of those amps that everybody raves about...

It's still my Fav amp and not just because I worked there. I still think the SC and SD are the flag ships. The electra verb is nice but not as gritty and less gain.

It's just one channel, bass/mid/treb/presence/gain/volume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stratotone Posted October 22, 2006 Members Share Posted October 22, 2006 I saw Rick Springfield play a few weeks ago, he was using a Naylor head - sounded awesome. I thought his guitar tone smoked his other guitarist, who was using what looked like 2203 marshalls. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just one channel, bass/mid/treb/presence/gain/volume? I'm not the man you were looking for, but no there is not a half-power switch. Naylor did make a two channel amp. But like most amps the one people rave about is the single channel. They come with Bass/Mid/Treble/Presence for the Super Club 38 and the Super Drive 60. The Electroverb doesn't have a Presence knob but instead has reverb. I don't like the reverb however, and never use it. Unless of course you play surf guitar, then it would be perfect for you. My Electroverb 38 sounds amazing, but I would love to try a Super Drive 60 or Super Club 38. I think I would like it even more, judging by the comments people make about them. Would you be willing to tell me where you found two for sale? Peace,Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice, but I could handle a little more grit. Interesting that you say the other two have more gain. Kyle at Nayler 8 years ago told me there was no difference in the circuit except that instead of a presence knob they preset the presence at 8 and added the Reverb. And there is no problem with the amount of gain I get out of this amp. I never run the gain past 3 oclock. But even if you wanted to use all the gain, you can hear every note.

Hey Larry. Sure have. The 80 went bye-bye. Had a Marshall 2061x for a brief while. Loved it, but replaced it with a 1959HW. Love it as well, but the volume just ain't happening. Somewhere in between amps, a baby happened , so I'm looking for something a little more manageable in volume. Contenders at the moment are, of course, another Budda. Maybe a Mesa Lonestar. Maybe a Naylor. Another 2061x if I could find it. Or perhaps a Suhr Badger, if I can wait that long. Sifting through the options right now...

I could definitely understand the volume issues with the 1959. Even with a hot plate you still gotta move some air for a plexi to feel right. Not sure on the volume on the Naylor but the one I heard (can't remember the model) definitely fits the bill with that list of amps. Not very far off from a Budda in the OD department. Well I can only compare it to an SD30. Have you considered the SD30? The one I had did pretty well at maintaining the goods at lower volume. Did you ever do any clips with the 1959 with the 70 Fuzz? I bet that sounds nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members XxBognerengoBxX Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 Originally posted by illini Hey Dale, Did you sell your SD60? Yeah, I sold my combo. I got tired of lugging that thing around. I sold it to a guy named Scott in Houston. He bought my EV60 from me as well. The funny thing is that the guy who is the current high bidder on Landau's SD60 bought an SD60 from me and I bought it back from him. It's like there is an underground Naylor click on the internet.

I sent you a PM to ask you about the 6L6's you put in your SD. What did it do to the amp that you liked so much? I liked the SED 6L6GC's in those amps. It was kind of a sweeter sound to my ears. I tried JJ 6L6GC's in them as well. It was a little warmer and grindy. I liked the SED's more than the JJ's. The stock Sovtek 12ax7wb's are where it's at, but I always liked GE 12ax7wa's in them. They had the same amount of gain and the tone was just sweeter, chimier and more detailed. A Telefunken in V1 was the "Be All/End All". The stock Sovtek 5881's are super rugged and pretty much laugh at the plate voltage. The plate voltage ran anywhere from 475 to 505 depending on what tubes were in the amp. Most of the time it was right there at 495. The SED 6L6GC's are a very good choice if you're wanting to try out 6L6GC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
