Does anybody have a pic of one they could post or email me? I'm thinking of replacing my ripped grill cloth with a silver one and wanted to see what it looked like. Thanks!

Chris, Session 400 amps with silver grill cloths are pictured on Curly Chalker's "More Ways To Play" LP. I will try and get this scanned and e-mailed to you. I have a silk screened logo Session 400 and I've also thought about installing the Fender type grill cloth.

How about doing it in tweed? This one sounds better than it looks, it was "Sarno-ized" before Brad got too busy building those preamp thingys. Smile

To my knowledge, The grill cloth color does nothing for the tone of the Amp.
I do in fact think it might do something for the tone of the Brain in our heads.

Here are Session 400 images from Chalker's "More Ways To Play" LP on Midland Records. I seem to remember Chalker & Hughey (and I'm sure other steel players) were consulted on the original design of the Session 400.

Well, whatever advice they gave was valuable because this model of amp sounds incredible for steel.

Jeff, if I recall correctly, they were introduced in 1973 and went into the early 80's. There was a Session 400 "Limited" introduced in the 80s that differed from the Session and Session LTD, which were essentially the same amp in a different size cabinet.

I also used mine for guitar until I blew the prized JBL. Now I keep the volume down and treat the new JBL with the respect it deserves. Smile
