Mo Says...

The Nomad 55 offers 55 watts of Californian firepower, switchable down to a more civilised 30 watts, all driven by a pair of 6L6 power tubes that shimmer with headroom and then snarl when provoked.

Notable Particulars

• 55W Class A/B valve amplification delivers power for rehearsals and live performance.
• Three independent channels with six selectable modes cover clean, crunch and high-gain sounds.
• Dedicated gain, EQ, presence and master controls let you shape each channel independently.
• Spring reverb with separate channel levels provides individually tailored ambience.
• Parallel effects loop with mix control blends external effects with your amplifier’s dry signal. MESA/Boogie®

The Details

Handcrafted in Petaluma, California, the Mesa/Boogie Nomad 55 combines a broad tonal range with comprehensive control. Channel 1 offers Clean and Pushed modes, while Channels 2 and 3 each provide Vintage and Modern gain options. This gives you scope to establish three contrasting sounds, from clear rhythm tones to overdriven chords and saturated leads. MESA/Boogie®

Each channel’s independent controls allow you to balance its sound and volume without sharing EQ settings. The global Output control sets the overall playing level, while the separate Solo control provides an adjustable volume boost when operated with a compatible footswitch. It’s a useful arrangement for guitarists who need distinct rhythm and lead sounds ready throughout a set.
