The Mesa Boogie Nomad 45 is a guitar combo amp that delivers 45 watts of power. It has a 1/4 inch input in the front and has three channels, each with its own set of basic parameters for EQ, gain, volume, etc. It also has both a power and a standby switch.
UTILIZATION
The configuration of the Mesa Boogie Nomad 45 is easy to follow and shouldn't take much time at all to figure out what everything does. Getting a good sound is easy because the amp has a great inherent tone to it that is full and warm sounding. The three channels and various parameters allows for a great deal of control over your tone and a good amount of versatility. The manual for the Mesa Boogie Nomad 45 is pretty complete, but the amp is easy enough to use that you shouldn't need the manual if you don't have one already.
SOUNDS
The sound quality of the Mesa Boogie Nomad 45, like most Mesa Boogie amps is pretty great. It is a versatile amp that is capable of both great lead and rhythm tones, both clean and overdriven. I usually use this amp without effects with a Fender Strat or a Gibson SG, always with great results. While I have only used this amp for recording, it is also great for live shows because of its small size and huge sound. Overall, the Mesa Boogie Nomad 45 is a great sounding amp.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Mesa Boogie Nomad 45 guitar combo amp for about a year and have found it to be a great guitar amp. It is easy to use and even easier to get a good sound from this. The price of this amp isn't cheap, but it is a high quality amp that is great for recording, gigs, or practicing. While there are other guitar amps that I would rather have for the price, like a Fender Twin Reverb, this is a great amp that is definitely worthy of a try. Highly recommended for amateurs and professionals alike.
