Big V4! I'll take some more detailed pics when I re-valve it next week. The heaviest and bulkiest I ever used was a Hiwatt 200. That was worse than the Trace or even a VBA! Quote
DiMarco Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Indeed. I heard somewhere Mesa made a switch to JJ recently though and now use those in all stock models. Quote

Dad3353 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Here's our Hiwatt DR205 (200w PA head, 4xKT88...) perched on its flight case... ... then perched on 'Giggles', our HH 2x15 horn-loaded cab... A nice amp; it can get loud, but retains clean headroom to the sky. Edited February 22, 2015 by Dad3353 Quote

VTypeV4 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Yeah, I gave it a good wipe over with polish and squirted some contact cleaner in the valve bases for good measure.. I cleaned the outer wooden case too which also looks much better now. [URL=http://s778.photobucket.com/user/VTypeV4/media/DSC_0073_zpslniq6oc6.jpg.html][IMG]http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/yy70/VTypeV4/DSC_0073_zpslniq6oc6.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I got Beavis back today too after it died the other week. I took to it rehearsal and it sounded weak and underpowered so decided to swap some valves out but that ended play after a bit of a fizz, whistle pop then silence. Game over. I took it to Neil who had Barry look it over and apparently it gave him a headache. Some new screen grid resistors, some new capacitors, and some new valves and it's back on fighting form. I had Barry install and re-bias for some second-hand KT88s I'd got knocking about. The Tung Sol 6550s that were in it were an old pair from a quad I'd bought for the V4 back in 2004 so they were probably past their best to be fair. I've had in on for a few hours this afternoon and it hasn't popped, spat or hummed so I'm happy it's back on form. Might take it on Monday to rehearsal.. Quote

jensenmann Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Mike, would you mind to elaborate how close both Boogies are sonically? Quote
