    OHH no! :doh: I just bought a full retube kit (KT77's) for my Herbert. :scared: However, I fortunately have enough tubes laying around to mix El34/KT77/6L6 but I have never heard the Herbert with KT77's. :confused: I'm a little worried that I might not like the KT77's but I guess my ears will...

    Herbert lose of volume problem

    Yes, it does have the external bias connections, so I guess I wont be needing the Bias Probe...just some connectors/wire and my trusty Fluke meter. I never leave home without that meter, I guess I wouldn't be much of an electrician without it....LOL :confused: But I am a little confused about...

    Herbert lose of volume problem

    Well just a quick update, I had a chance today at lunch to fire up my Herbie and really, and I mean REALLY push the volume after replacing the V1 preamp tube. I was pretty awesome until :thumbsdown: again the volume dropped to a super low level, and I was only playing for like 10 minutes. So...

    Herbert lose of volume problem

    Thanks Hard&Heavy, I'll take a look and see what i can find. I guess I should start with V1 and a new 12AX7, and I'll conduct some swaptronics until something changes. From the internet info that I have dug threw in the past hour I think you are correct. I also have a question about the...

    New Cab & K100s

    Yeah I was checking out the celestion web site last night and all K100's are 8 ohm but I have 16 ohm V30's and I rewired the cabinet, so it would have a left and right totaling 8 ohms per side. Do K100's come stock in a cab?

    New Cab & K100s

    I have a Carvin Legacy cab with V30's and I was thinking about an X pattern with a pair of K100. But are the K100's everyone has mention made by Celestion or Jensen?
