tayste_2000 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) Whilst I love having 2 I'm just not using them to their full potential. The one I'm getting rid of use to belong to Crazykiwi and then Ashevans Here is some blurb from Kiwi on it These things are in a class of their own. Noone has made or currently makes a stereo valve power amp of this power rating apart from Mesa Boogie and even they don't make this model any more. Built like a nuclear bunker, it has 12 6L6 valves that are designed to barely just tick over when the thing is on full tilt. Result being that you don't really need to replace the power valves as often as other amps. ... Output is 200w a side but there is the facility to connect 2 cabinets per side at 4 or 8 ohms. So potentially you could hook up eight 8ohm cabs to a single amp using linking jacks on the cabs. (Or eight 8 ohm Barefaced compacts if you like!) There are left and right channel inputs and there is also a mono summed input as well. There's no bridging facility so you WILL need two cabs to get the best out of it. I had it serviced about 4 months ago where one valve was replaced with a matching example. The amp has fixed biasing so the choices are either replaced a dud valve with one of a value that matches the others, or replace the whole lot (which seems a bit of a waste unless the amp sounds muffled). The power switch was shorting out and got replaced too but Mesa tweaked the design a little so its a little more rounded than the originals. For anyone with specific technical questions, a user manual can be found on the Mesa Boogie site here: [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/manuals/Strategy...00%20Stereo.pdf"]http://www.mesaboogie.com/manuals/Strategy...00%20Stereo.pdf[/url] Schematic: [url="http://www.freeinfosociety.com/electronics...view.php?id=292"]http://www.freeinfosociety.com/electronics...view.php?id=292[/url] Usual raving at Harmony Central: [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...+Power+Amp/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...+Power+Amp/10/1[/url] This amp is loaded with Harma valves with plenty of life left in them I can even include some spares if you need but it's such a loud amp that you'll never really put any strain on the tubes. This is a great way to get the thickness of a 400+ with a preamp of your choice, giving you way more tonal possibilities I run mine currently with an Alembic F-1X and the sound is just stunning. Main reason for sale I have 2 of them and a 400+ just seems redundant After £700ono not really looking for trades but who knows, maybe Absolute stunner of an amp.
