WITHDRAWN Mesa Boogie Strategy 400 WITHDRAWN


Recommended Posts

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.

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 :lol: 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 :)

Usual raving at Harmony Central:

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 :rolleyes:

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WITHDRAWN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 :lol:

Cheers

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.
