Members bikehorn Posted September 27, 2007 Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 435 tube watts, 980 watts peak. It was a monster in every sense of the word. 980 was the power consumption Rich Koerner says it was capable of 560 watts at 5% THD but that would have been when using General Electric 6550A tubes, which are no longer in production, and impossible to find now. I can think of a few others, but some are 200 watt amps. I guess they may not qualify strictly on power, but they used to be paired with efficient speakers so the volume would still be high. Fender 300 PS: the slightly more sane replacement for the 400 PS with all the power directed through a single output transformer secondary, instead of three. 200-watt: Matchless Thunderchief Laney Supergroup 200 Marshall Major 200 Orange Matamp 200 Orange AD200B Sunn Model T Selmer Chieftain 200(yeah, see if you ever come across one of these 8x EL34 beasts in your lifetime) WeberVST has a 300 watt tube bass amp kit in the pipeline, and it's going to be unique in that the phase inverter will be an interstage transformer, not a tube. Not many amps I know of have this type of design because it adds weight and cost, although the 400 PS had a radical variant of this(tube driving a tube driving a transformer).

Members Adrenochrome Posted September 27, 2007 Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 I've been looking forward to trying one some day, hoping it would sound nice. It was sweet at low volume, not so at high volume. It was a big charity all-dayer and the amp had to be pretty loud as there was no PA support. . . The cab was an old 4x12 which could have been flapping a bit. Try one yourself it might suit your situation, perhaps it needed miking-up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members coyote-1 Posted September 27, 2007 Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 I own one of these. It's quite loud; back when I purchased it in 1980, it was much louder. I run keyboards thru it, including a JP8000 and the low-rotor sim of a Motion Sound Pro3T - which in turn gets its signal from a Hammond A100.
