tayste_2000 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) So I sold the other one a few months ago and this hasn't got any use since then either and with my GT200 incoming and possibly a few other items. The Manual [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/manuals/Strategy%20400%20Stereo.pdf"]http://www.mesaboogie.com/manuals/Strategy...00%20Stereo.pdf[/url] I'll get proper pictures tonight but at the moment it looks the same as this (This is the other one I sold) Basically it's very very similar to the power section of a 400+, it's 12 6l6's that are split into two groups of 6 with 200w per side, the sides aren't bridgable but they have separate standby switches so you don't need to run both sides if you don't want to, possibly giving you a backup head within the head It will do 8 and 4 ohms per side meaning you can do a total of a 2ohm load by used a 4 ohm cab per side, I was running it with my Stereo 8x10 and I had it on like 4 doing an outdoor festival to 3,000 people with no pa support 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 is loaded with 5 month old Groove Tubes and has been fully serviced and not used in the past 3 months, this has just sat in the practice room where it will continue to sit and be used occasionally with my jamming with the trace tvt9 and with the Matamp stuff here I've got like 10 tube amps which is excessive even for me. As tube amps go this is fairly light in the 20-30kg range, but pair this with something like an Alembic, Demeter or even Aguilar and you will have one of the most beautiful amps on the planet. I make no bones about this, I use it with an Alembic F-1X and it is better than the 400+, it's louder, cleaner, more varied amount of tone but it still has that 400+/Bassman vibe, but there are only so many plus 200w amps you need and even less 400w amps you need If this doesn't go I'll have to do what Kiwi did with his and make use of it as my hifi amp WITHDRAWN Also will look at any original shape Overwaters if you have one for trade Cheers Edited November 22, 2010 by tayste_2000
umph Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 it is bridgable, you still have to use two cabs though and this would be a perfect match for one of the mesa 400+'s i'm selling.

Monz Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 tssssk You stereo amp guys... Even your replies are in stereo
tayste_2000 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Posted July 20, 2010 Going to have another crack at this, it's great and I'm using it with a Trace TVT9 preamp now and it's so loud and grindy but I have a chance to buy something a bit more me so I'm open to offers and such
loweringthetone Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 [quote name='tayste_2000' post='908090' date='Jul 28 2010, 12:33 PM']Bump[/quote] Its no doubt a very silly question, but can you run just one 200W side on its own ? Seems a shame to have all the power valves burning if you are only using one side at 200W.
loweringthetone Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 It was a very silly question - I should have just read the first post.... ......'but they have separate standby switches so you don't need to run both sides if you don't want to' Thats good news
tayste_2000 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Posted July 29, 2010 Yeah you can just run either side on it's own.
Colledge Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 should maybe put the tvt9 in with this and sell it as the ultimate tube whores play thing.
tayste_2000 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Posted September 29, 2010 Seriously offers, will part ex on low wattage vintage amps Fender Bassman, Selmer TnB 50 etc
tayste_2000 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 Final price drop after this its going in a Matamp headcase and becoming a display piece £625
tayste_2000 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 Seriously final bump then it's withdrawn

tayste_2000 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Posted November 17, 2010 OK crazy price drop now £550 For this week only and then Sunday it goes to Matamp for a custom headcase to be made and it goes on display in the lounge
tayste_2000 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Posted November 17, 2010 Might part ex if you've got anything interesting, small and old. Cheers
Mr. Foxen Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 No-one wants big massive valve amps at the moment, fools. Bet it would tempt Terrorike, if you fancy his Sovtek, dunno if he'll be able to cash on top.
umph Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 [quote name='tayste_2000' post='1026784' date='Nov 17 2010, 12:19 PM']Might part ex if you've got anything interesting, small and old. Cheers[/quote] nothing of similar value also depends what you mean by small
tayste_2000 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 50w-100w Doesn't have to be similar value you can send me money as well. Will do package deal with the Trace TVT9 making this a 27 tube rig £750 all in inc shipping. Else still £550 and you have 2 more days left to buy it. Cheers
