Always had good luck with them, but I always bought from Eurotubes..
However, I just had one fail and I could see it arching inside the tube! Never had that one before..
That tube was probably nearly 20 years old and has been kicked around a bit. I have a bag of them..
It's not the tone, it's the songs and playing..
If fatfuck fingers Phil played 3 blind mice with that tone, nobody would give a shit..
Truth be told, that tone is thin and scratchy.
Fight me!
Yes, It's exposure I think. Jammin the radio in the car, drivin with the windows down, cranked on caffeine..
Come back home to where it's quiet and everything is muffled.
