i bought this on reverb recently. i love the 100 watt SOBs... but this one is different. says HOB on the side like I'd expect... but has an extra preamp tube in it. it's not a reverb model (no RCA jacks). the parts they used all look vintage-mesa correct except for that extra preamp socket is riveted instead of screwed. what the heck is going on here? mesa mod? the work of a great tech?
i haven't even plugged it in yet... just opened it up to make sure it wasn't simul-class as some of them get mislabeled as 100 watters...
I've got 14 days to decide if i want to keep it or not. if it's some obscure mesa mod I'd be interested, but if somebody tried to make it a SLO or something I'll send it back
