Actually the Century 200 has the exact same circuit as the RG's, just independent controls for rhythm and lead channels. The Century 200 II is where they changed the circuit a bit, but it's still similar. Less low end in those amps though.

It's a 170II....so it has the gain 'voicing' that the 200 doesn't have; but the 200 has separate EQs while the 170 has shared. It's basically a contour knob that easily scoops those mids out and makes it way easier to skip that step of an EQ in the loop to get that sound. Really a great amp and seems to have more tight lows than the RG I have. Not as collectible as the 200 or worth as much since Dime didn't use it, but cool nonetheless. The 200 is 120w @4 ohms, 100w @8 while the 170 is 80w @4 ohms and 50w @8.

Dunno bout the seller. Seems sketchy. Who would sell such great amps?

Good point. Sorta like people who overcook steak: don't trust people who can't be trusted with a good thing.

Ya, I believe the Century 200ii has a contour control as well. Dime did own one of those.

J from White Zombie used the 200ii's as well, in combo with rectos to get his tone on astrocreep 2000.

I'd get a Mesa Strategy 500. Do I need that kind of power to play shitty licks? Nah, but it would be badass

I forgot to mention, I also picked up a Jaguar cab that dates from 1989. What a great match. Heavy as hell..particle board but sounds beastly. I have a Peavey 60/60 power amp I'm gonna run the Century through and get some thump going.
