Peavey Session 400 head(?)
Did any Session 400s emigrate from Meridian in a head-only format, or were they all built as combos?

Bobbe Seymour had one for sale several years ago that had belonged to Chet Atkins.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

That was my thinking exactly.Doug Earnest wrote:Jack -
Yes, I agree that is the genuine article and looks like a well kept example. It would be a very very handy piece of equipment to own!
Actually, at the advertised price of $120.00, I felt it was too good a deal to pass on, so I purchased the amp this morning. It was at a music store in Denver.Doug Earnest wrote:
Would you be willing to let us know the price and location if you are not interested in purchasing it ?

Chet?
I didn’t know Chet had one , wonder what speaker he used with it. Maybe I’ll keep mine after all , I just loved Chet.
I also wonder when mine was made , here’s the label.....whoops it’s upside down...

Weekend update: Since the state of Colo shifted from "stay-at-home" to "safer-at-home" yesterday, I took the opportunity to buzz up to Denver to pick up my Session 400 head and this oddball Ovation piggyback:

I just plugged the 400 into my GPA/TT-12 cabinet, and am mildly ecstatic to report it sounds just wonderful. The reverb even works! Think I got my 120 bucks worth on this one.
