Sitting in the base of it's road case, the amp is easy to scoot around the stage.

Packed up for travel in it's trusty Anvil road case.

The Nomad is a very versatile amp, with three discrete channels--a clean channel, and dirty channel, and a face blistering channel. I typically run rhythm parts through the first two channels and leads through Channel 3. On occasion, channel 1 and 2 are used for leads in conjunction with a Tube Screamer for a bit more gain. This amp has phenomenal tone, but over the 3 years I've owned, proven to very tempramental.

This amp has been discontinued, although Boogie does still make the 45 watt and 100 watt versions.
