This is the original series. I've been playing this in my cover band for 5 years, and am due for a change. There's nothing wrong with this amp, it sounds great. Tubes were replaced this year and have less than 50 hours on them.
Progressive Linkage means you can assign each of the 4 channels different output tubes. This beast has 2xEL34 and 4x6L6, and you can assign 2, 4 or all 6 tubes to each channel. Each channel can be rectified by tube or diode.
The only issue is the rectifier selection switch shaft broke off on channel 1, which means it's "stuck" in diode mode (which sounds better for clean anyway). The switch is soldered to a board, so replacing it proved too risky for me. It's not a big job for qualified tech, though. (see 3rd pic).
Comes with the King Kontroller footswitch, and cloth cover.
According to the Mesa Web site:
Our patented Progressive Linkage™ provides 5 different all-tube power amplifiers to harness in any combination to four preamp channels creating – not a cyber mock-up, but the real, authentic circuits found in classic amplifiers.
MAIN FEATURES
1. 4 Fully Independent Channels / 12 Modes: Ch 1 = Clean, Fat or Tweed™, Ch 2 = Clean, Fat or Brit, Ch 3 & 4 = Raw, Vintage or Modern High Gain
2. Multi-Watt™, Channel Assignable Power Amp with Ratings of 50, 100 & 120 Watts!
I want to get $1600 for this amp. Local sale preferred, like I said, it's a beast.
Email/PM me with any questions, or offers.
