I had the change to spend some more time with this little beast at the studio. Here's a clip

I didn’t see any bourbon in there.

 

[Beyond Black]

Amp sounds vicious, Sothiros!

 

[JR-OZ]

Sounds killer !!!!

 

[Racerxrated]

Awesome tone!

 

[Philhouse]

Is that just the IIC+, or with the Strategy pushing it out?
Is there much difference?

That's the 2C+ stock power section not the Strategy. Yes more headroom + some "coloring". I am gonna upload a clip 2C+ strategy 400 soon

I’ve done the slaving thing. Adds balls and punch. For me it was more about feel and thump vs tone.

agreed

Cool. I'd love to hear that rig in person.
I've always been interested in as to why they slaved out on MOP rather than just use the amp's power section. There must be a significant difference for that to be done. Not to mention the common myth that they'd slaved to Marshall and not the Boogies.

They didn’t on Puppets, that was all IIC+ power section. The Strategy 400 came out in 1987 and they first used it on AJFA.

It does make a big difference. It gets a lot ballsier and punchier. It’s got more of the low end and low mid growl. Much like a Coliseum.
My C++ simul-class Coliseum sounds very similar to my C++ DRG slaved into the Strategy 400.

 

[Philhouse]

Yup, wrong album Mc Fly!

I'm having a total brain fart there sorry

 

[Exo-metal]

It sounded better in the maple enclosure hahaha

 

[Lore]

Sounds great bud!

 

[ultimatemetalguitartones]

Sorry about the out of tune thing lol

 

[ultimatemetalguitartones]

This one captures better the true tone

I found that slaving amp heads into the Strategy 400 definitely gave them more balls and punch, as stated, but it also took away a tiny bit of interactive feel or touch sensitivity. This includes slaving various Mesas, Wizards and even a Larry.
