Details

Greetings,

Just a "Feeler" on this one, not sure if I really want to part with this or not but you know how the GAS is!
I originally acquired it here on "TB" a while back & had it sent straight to Demeter for all the updates (XLR input, Jensen Transformer, Fan etc.)
Let's just say It has all the available upgrades that Demeter offers!

I'd dare say this falls under the
"Hens Teeth"' category as I have never seen another listed anywhere!
For those unfamiliar with the legendary specs of this amp, they are as follows:
Eight 6550 Power Tubes
300 watts @ 8 ohms
400 @ 4 ohms
(Pentode mode Ultra Linear)
About half that in Triode mode

Three 12 ax7's in the front end

Even though this is supposed to be an "All Tube Power Amp"
The front end allows you to plug your axe straight in without a pre making it perfect for just about any setup!


I will have more pics to come,
Cash is King although I may trade for the right 5 or 6 banger.
A semi hollow guitar may be a consideration as well.
Amp wise I may consider a trade + $$$ my way for a Mesa TT-800 or other Mesa, Ashdown, Orange etc. Heads
I'd rather do a local pickup as shipping would be astronomical on this!

Oh and unfortunately PayPal is not an option anymore....

Payment Plans With Downstroke available!

Cheers

Hey Jimmy,
Good to hear from you:)
Hope all is well with you and the
family:hyper:

Yeah I keep telling myself that this is just a "feeler" BUT even with a piece like this, it doesn't give ya much immunity to the infamous GAS ya know?:roflmao:

But yeah I'm regretting it already as I KNOW I'll never run across another "Hens Tooth" like this :smug:

Take care & thanks for kind words :bassist:

I love the 2 power tube options on this, but is it noted the pentode operation is half (or less) power? I've been playing with triode, tetrode and pentodes lately and find the triode mode is almost always in the lower, less efficient operation. Nothing wrong with triode modes, as I get really nice harmonics that way. Just wondered, not many heads out there at all allow you to switch back and forth.

Really cool gear!

Thanks for the comments although perhaps I didn't explain that correctly, this may help:

Hey HotelX,

Thanks for your interest, indeed you are correct Good Sir about the model name & the title has been edited. Don't have more pics at the moment as the unit is in the shop getting a once over. I previously posted a link (above) that has about the most info that you are going to find these days as unfortunately Demeter has discontinued it and changed their website format which isn't exactly "user friendly" (they should have stayed with the previous one IMHO)

Anyways if you have anymore questions please feel free to PM me @ your convenience!
Cheers :bassist:

Hey

I just came across this. Sorry I missed it but I’m working on purchasing one and I’m considering sending it to Demeter.

Can you tell me about the experience and the process?

Tried sending a DM but you’re inbox is full.
