This has been my gigging amp for many years and has never let me down. Only moving it on for the possible purchase of Darkglass amp. Warwick Quad VI. Unique amp, precursor to the Tubepath. 3 tubes in the preamp, 1 power tube into 600 watt mosfet power section. Monster sound and monster volume. In great condition, missing a few screws on top panel... Easily replaced. All tubes recently replaced. One thing to mention.... This amp stays clean even with input gain dimed. It's not designed to deliver roaring overdrive.  Long description, but I couldn't say it better....  A powerful 600 watts of power gets the job done. The 12AX7 Preamp tubes provides warmth. The Amp also features an EL84 tube before the mosfet power amp to give full tube amp sounds.  The Quad VI features Warwick’s 4-position QUADRUMATRIX control. Each position offers a unique preamp-shaped voice with the tone controls shifting to accommodate each. Positions 1 and 2 bypass the EL84 output tube, using only the 12AX7 preamp tubes. Positions 3 and 4 unleash the full potential of the output tube and transformer. Position 2 offers the flattest response, while positions 1 and 4 have more extreme shaping. Two frequency-shift buttons change the two mid controls’ center frequencies. Powerful LOW BOOST and HIGH BOOST buttons provide additional tone-shaping options. The QUADS simple-looking controls offer a lot of flexibility. Winner of the BASS PLAYER Magazine Editors Award. They Said :
The Warwick Quad VI is essentially a big tube amp minus the transportation and reliability issues. The QUADRUMATRIX preshapes, combined with the powerful tone controls, provide numerous texture and tone possibilities. European products are rarely a bargain in the U.S. due to additional export, shipping, and distribution costs, but the Quad VI is reasonably priced for an amp that offers so much. Shoot me any questions. Manual included, albeit with some doodles created by my then 3 year old daughter!  Thanks for looking.
