Groove Tubes & Mesa Boogie Quad Preamps

Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase either of the following valve preamps? 

- Groove Tubes Trio

- Mesa Boogie Quad

Looks like this takes your common all garden ECC83/12AX7 preamp valves and if so @karltone is very likely to be able to help?

If your set of Groove Tubes as a brand, then these guys appear to stock

I think he means preamps, like these:

But other than eBay...I don't see them around much (i've often looked out for similar things)

Quite correct - my apologies!

'Valve preamps' rather than 'preamp valves,' although they will no doubt need re-valving!

And only a rebel would dare to revalve them with anything but Mesa or Groove Tubes valves

Not affiliated with either but there is a feedback system to check up on...A lot of the time the withdrawn ads are still available...worth a punt...(or an email!)

eBay is probably your best bet, there was a Quad on there a couple of weeks ago. I have owned a Quad and if you find one try and make sure it has its foot controller, they came included but many have gone missing. If the FC isn't there there then you have a complex problem if you want to change things by foot whilst playing. The amp has a comprehensive set of individual sockets one the back to cover all the functions but you will need either a Midi Controller switching unit or a collection of pedals depending on how much you want to control....all a bit messy and expensive.

If you can't find a Quad, a Studio Pre covers much of the same ground (though just two channnels).
