Thanks for the killer article Deluge! We've very flattered. Awesome job!
What parts are YOU driving through??
It's the traffic thats insane. My buddy lives up on the north side of town around Irving Park & 90. I thought I was an aggressive driver, those people make me look like a hick.
In the market for a head, and was pursuing an AD200 or Meatsmoke(since they cost the same) for my 4x12. Any thoughts on a 400+ ??? Yay/Nay?

Wasn't a fan of the 400+. I found it too thin in the low mids and kind of brittle in the highs. At low volumes it sounded great but turned up it was a whole other story.

In my opinion, no. It's just not a good amp for stoner/doom. There is a YBA-3 for sale in the classifieds right now that I would consider. I love mine.
Well, the Meatsmoke is pretty damn rad. YouTube - VERELLEN "MEAT SMOKE" DEMO
These birds are really $2500?! If you've got that much to drop there's tons of options out there. Personally I'd be all over that Meatsmoke though.
Ok, I'ma noob to toob, but 130watts into a 4ohm 1600watt 4x12? I don't see it. Yeah I like GT also! I wake up and listen to Naught Witch every morning to start my day in a good mood. Plus, i was looking at the 400+ so I didn't have to sell my triple recto head.
I don't have any personal experience with the 400+ but the bassist from Black Tusk was using one. Even though you could feel the low end coming through his rig his tone really didn't cut through the mix much.

130 watts through a 412 should be plenty loud as long as you are not looking for a super clean tone. The entire monobrow album was pretty much recorded with a DI'd YBA-3.
Also the speaker outputs are in series so you can add another 4 ohm cab for a total load of 8 ohms.
How? a line out of the back of the YBA-3? did you use the power amp portion at all? i've also heard that some DI's (avolon U5) can handle the speaker out of amps.
i was also under the impression that it is bad to run a tube amp w/out a speak load.
