SOLD! MODS, PLEASE DELETE

 

Hi All:

 

Well, the collection has once again grown too large and needs to be brought back into check. Yeah, you know what that means - time to make those tough decisions about what stays and what goes. Here is the first painful decision.....

 

For sale, I have one of the rare, midi-controllable versions of the 3 rack space all-tube Quad preamp (8 x 12AX7's).

 

As I am sure most of you are aware, the Quad is separated into two channels sharing one common input. Each channel offers two footswitchable modes (making it a 4 channel preamp) and a pre-assignable 5 band graphic equalizer (i.e., 2 graphic eq's in total). Channel 1 is very similar to the Mark IIC, while Channel 2 is very much like the Mark III - only with significantly more gain available.

 

Other noteable features include tube-driven spring reverb, a tube-driven effects loop and rear panel external switching jacks (for use with a standard 1/4"grounding type footswitch or a midi-controllable switcher, such as the Rocktron Patchmate or Voodoo Lab GCX/Ground Control).

 

The Quad is in absolutely stunning condition for its age. Comes with a rare Mesa Boogie Abacus midi footcontroller and cable, also in unbelievably clean condition. The Abacus is phantom-powered from the Quad, eliminating any need for batteries or adapters on your pedal board.

 

Asking USD $900 + shipping for the Quad, Abacus and cable.

 

Additional pictures are available upon request if you are seriously interested.

 

If you are looking for real amp tone and feel in a rack, this is the unit. This preamp has all of the Mesa Mark series tones you could need.

 

Thanks.

where are you located

 

 

PM'd.

 

FYI for others, I am located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada but will pack this thing super well!

 

Come on my U.S. friends, take advantage of the strengthening US dollar vs. the Canadian funny money!

Monday morning bump with new trade option.....

 

I would do a straight trade for a clean VHT/Fryette 2/90/2 and would consider working out a trade on either a clean Randall RT2/50, VHT/Fryette 2/50/2, Mesa 2:Ninety or Mesa 2:Fifty.

 

Let me know!
