Cool rig topped off with a cool, um, gecko?I had a Mesa Strategy88 for about a minute before I exchanged it due to reliability issues.
This amp (SL900) sounds a lot like the Strategy with the same ease of dialing in the mids and greater portability.
Really digging this amp.

Grab it fast: For Sale - Genz Benz Streamliner 900
Does anybody know if it’s safe to run a streamliner 900 at 6 ohms (two 12 ohm cabs)?
Cool, thanks!Yep, just don't go below 4 ohms and you will be fine.

Cool, thanks!
And don't be afraid to try running that powerhouse into a 16 ohm load to get a good sense of the tubey 3DPM limiter:
Ran my Streamliner at 16 ohms tonight -- a revelation
It will take a while but my next project will be a 4x8 AudioKinesis-inspired "Birdhaus" type cabinet, switchable between 8 and 32 ohms. At 32 ohms, I should get some amazing tubiness at reasonably low volume.![]()
Yeah, try those cabs in series if you want to hit the limiter at lower volume. Could be surprisingly fun and might even be loud enough for some of your needs especially if the cabs are efficient. Safer for the cabs too--I'd guess the STL 900 would put about 225 watts into 24 ohms. At 6 ohms you'll get more like 750 watts.Check out Bob Cruz's thread! You may discover fun times ahead:

Right around 400 watts (interpolating between 500 watts at 8 ohms and about 300 at 16 ohms).Thanks!
What might I expect from running a 12ohm load?
(I plan on reading your thread when I get home from work)
Much thanks! I’ve primarily always used one cab, so figuring out the math for multiples is a bit confusing. I think I’m starting to understand though. Looking forward to reading your thread, seems like it’s going to be a good read!Right around 400 watts (interpolating between 500 watts at 8 ohms and about 300 at 16 ohms).
