This is how tubes should sound!

The all tube dual channel 112 NOMAD guitar amp reflect our devotion to tone. Rich, thick harmonics with creamy smooth mid tones define the superb sound of these amps. Channel one is clean ranging from warm and mellow to shimmering and glassy. Channel Two, with its SOAK control, offers enormous 12AX7 grid control from smooth blues, to full sustain. Matched EL84 output tubes react to the subtlest touch - if you play soft, the tubes remain clean. If you drive the amp hard, it rings out with rich tube harmonics. Digital reverb enhances the overall sound of the amp.

This guitar combo amplifier was sold on Gilby Clarke’s official Reverb.com shop. The listing’s description stated; “ This Carvin Nomad 112 w/ 1x12 Cabinet is owned by Gilby Clarke. Used during the Cat Club years on Sunset Blvd. with “The Starfuckers” & the "Col. parker" records. Both of these are in great shape. There are some scuffs and general dirt throughout from normal use and the handle on the Nomad has a few loose stitches, but nothing bad overall. Both sound great used separately or as a pair. All items in The Official Gilby Clarke Reverb Shop ship fully insured with delivery confirmation and a signed and embossed Certificate Of Authenticity.”
