    Bye bye all respect you gained from the Spinal Tap reference =P

  • i'm a fender man

  • i'm a bender man

    We know.

  • thanks man

  • i'm a fender man

    i'm a total fender amp nerd. i've even listened to the cd you get with the "soul of tone" book of fender amps. several times.

  • electro harmonix tubes........

  • electro harmonix tubes........

    are cheap shit that go microphonic in weeks

  • ha

  • ok, then matched groove tubes?

  • ah i'm only messing. some of them are okay. i had some EL84s once that went all microphonic in a vox AC15 pretty sharpish. Switched back to the previously installed "Harma" branded NOS European ones Watford Valves do and they lasted... are still lasting.

    To be honest since i've stopped playing live every other day i've stopped paying too much attention to these things. I used to be obsessed with NOS military valves, mullards, phillips etc etc. I found a huge box full of wildly expensive "best money can buy" valves (original 50s boxes the lot) under my bed the other day and couldn't even remember which amps they were for.

  • used to have some mullard 6l6's, i got form an old tranny shop, they were great.
    after something similar. used to be right into it about 15 years ago. always wanted to do a home brew 5e3 or similar.

  • me too actually. watford valves do kits now don't they? i love champs but i'm not sure my soldering is up to it. last time i tried to wire up a tele i ended up burning my fingers to bits and taking it to phillipe to fix (which he di din 5 seconds flat).

  • great site

  • ha, i totally took apart a television once, and stuck it in a old wooden ammo box i found, all my mates took the piss, until i turned it on :)
    always used to mess around with the electronics/ pick-ups on my strat though

  • 82% of the population of Jordan live in cities.

  • used to have some mullard 6l6's, i got form an old tranny shop, they were great.
    after something similar.

    i'll have a look in my box of goodies later this week. i think i've got some ridiculously flashy old 6L6s in there that I never used. Phillips rings a bell but i'll have to look. I don't currently have any amps that use them so if you want them i'll gladly sell.

    anyway, back to the facts: the word "facetious" contains all the vowels in order.

  • dooks valves are cheap*

    *fact, ridiculously cheap.

  • There will never be an LFGSS cycle top. Fact.

  • In 1999, five teams from Moscow took the top five places in Russia's premier football league (Spartak, Lokomotiv, CSKA, Torpedo and Dynamo)

  • it is because is 1 louder than 10

  • I'm enjoying all this amp talk. Although my bass amp is solid state all the way.

  • it's 1 louder

  • Its a FACT that:

    work sucks ass and 36h fixed/free hubs are too expensive
