I’ve just traveled the Sesh/Ganz path you’re considering. Initially I bought a Sesh 400 about 2 months ago and liked it immediately. I tried several different power amp options but eventually found a used Ganz Straight-Ahead on the forum. The Ganz was, hands down, the best sounding option with the Sesh out of everything I tried. It seems to me, that they were almost made for each other.

I lucked out, finding a used Straight-Ahead on the forum The used ones are few & far between. Had I not found it, I would’ve happily ordered a new one, as they are reasonably priced.

tony, how do you find that set up compares to a standard session 400?

also, i can’t seem to find a place to order a new straight ahead (nor can i
find a price). do you have any leads on that?

thanks for your help!

To be honest, the last time I actually played a Peavey Session 400 was about 30 years ago. That said, the Sesh 400 with + Straight-Ahead Power Amp sounds very close to what I remember it sounding.

Jay sells his power amps through his Facebook page. There are no ads per se, you just contact him through the page and he gets back to you. There may be a 3 to 4 week back order. I think the price is $279.00

I have a brand new one for sale. About 1 year old, but never used. Hooked it up when I bought it to make sure it worked.

And for those of us who live out in the back country, Jay will build a 240 Volt version for you if you need it :-}
