[quote name='Beedster' post='1308318' date='Jul 18 2011, 07:48 PM']Cheers, please excuse my ignorance here. I'm assuming the benefits over the Peavey are that I can.... 1. Run a 2x10 from channel 1 and 1x15 from channel 2, giving me control of levels/presence of each cab independently from a common I/P? 2. Run my Ric stereo O/P into the two channels using the above config (treble PUP into C1/2x10, neck PUP into C2/1x15)? 3. Effectively have a spare head on stage and ready to go if one channel goes down mid-gig (I assume that there are no common components)? Any other benefits over the Peavey (apart from its Mesa-ness)? C[/quote] I'd probably need to sell both my Peavey and Laney power amps to justify it, but I'm very keen to give it a go. Coupled with the Aguilar, I'm anticipating something special C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Might be able to get this a ride from Shef to Bristol if that opens it up as an option for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Assuming I can offload a few bits over the coming days, and assuming the Boogie's still unsold, I hope to be lugging this monster around very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 At the asking price you're unllikely to lose money on it, so long as you advertise widely when you come to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks Steve, agreed. I might have missed something in reading the manual and the above, but I think the only thing about this I'm still not clear on is whether it will function as two entirely independent mono amps. That is, if one channel goes down on stage, can I use the other channel irrespective of which part of the first channel has gone down? Am I making sense If the answer is yes, let's do it Umph C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 If the actual channel goes down, then other one is happy, but if the power fuse, or the plug fuse goes, then none of it gets power, so not quite up there with two whole separate amps. I know mine could pop a 3a fuse in the plug on startup, actually, I found why this is that sometimes they go after being fine on previous switch on, it is the position of the wave on the alternating current, 0v and on the way up or down and it eases in over fractions of a second, but if you hit it right on the peak, bam.

I was a little worried that like some true stereo gear (as opposed to 2 x mono), there might be some common circuitry that, if faulty, takes out both channels. Thanks Mr F and Steve.
