28mistertee Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Back up for sale as I currently have my eyes on something else. If it sells I’ll probably end up withdrawing it. Currently not gigging so in no rush either way.

HazBeen Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 These are great amps, I have owned several (200 and 400) over the years and they delivered on every level. GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handwired Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I really regret parting with my 200. Don't do it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll probably end up the same way but I’m not actively gigging at the minute so it isn’t doing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I've got the 200 watt version and it's an absolute peach of an amp. Build quality, sound and power are all 10 out of 10. Fabulous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonse Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Their website says these only weigh 25kg!? Can't be right surely? Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern toroïdal transformers, much, much lighter than the original Partridge iron. These have other advantages, too, aside from the weight (or lack of...), such as zero chance of having laminations loosen. If only they'd been around 'back then'..! This a very serious bit of kit; good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 200 watter isn't at all heavy due to modern transformer technology. It's obviously not class D light, but it's not any problem to pick up either.

Dad3353 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Our bass amp is a Hiwatt DR205 (200w PA amp; 4 x KT88...). It is not a one-hand lift..! The original Hiwatts were (and still are...) very heavy indeed, largely because of those massive Partridge trannies. The Mywatts have solved that problem, whilst retaining the essential 'heft' of the Hiwatts. A class product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28mistertee Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 I had a VBA400 Marshall in a flightcase, that thing was heavy. This is heavy to me but all amps I’ve owned have been as I’ve never delved into class D stuff. I’d say 25kg is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
