basstone Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I had this monster 400W valve amp in the workshop this week for a check over. Generally in good shape and just needed one ECC83 in the preamp and a new thermal trip. Thankfully all of the power tubes checked out OK otherwise it would have been an expensive job. I Was quite impressed by the build quality and it was easy to get to everything and set the bias (see photo for procedure). I didn't get to try it out in anger with a bass and cab, but the tone options seemed to work quite well. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look good, sound good, weigh a ton and can be expensive to maintain. It was fairly easy to work on and this one was in great condition! Also make good room heaters as an added bonus! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
