The very early Axe-Fx II's had more bandwidth than necessary on Output 2. The frequency response extended to hundreds of kHz. When used with certain tube amps this would cause instability in the output drivers. The solution was to limit the bandwidth to a "normal" range of 20 to 20 kHz. We...

Most people do NOT care where something is made, all they care about is the price. It's a sad fact. The average customer looks at a 6505 vs. whatever the Bugera knockoff version is and sees one sells for half the price. Which do you think he's gonna buy? If you make mainstream, consumer...

I'm not 100% but I believe the 5751 is for the loop.

The mod should have no effect on the red channel. The red channel has it's own separate signal path. The mod effectively makes the blue channel the same as the blue channel in the 50W version.

One scenario would be if they are using the Axe-Fx only for effects with a tube head. The Torpedo is a load box and then the Axe-Fx would provide effects. Another possibility is people like the Torpedo IRs better (you can't load their IRs on anything but their products as they are encrypted)...

Yes, but he didn't misrepresent himself. He openly acknowledges that he owns an MI store. The problem is that on TGP there are a lot of "users" who are disingenuous. Their presence their is strictly designed to sell their products and/or harm the reputation of competitors. This undermines...

TGP's huge user base has made it attractive as a guerrilla marketing outlet. It's cheaper to hire a shill and have him plant positive posts about their product and negative posts about competitors products than it is to use traditional advertising methods, i.e. magazines, banner ads, etc. I...

I'm literally crying from laughing so hard...

CDs only sample at 44.1 kHz. Amazing. Score: Nyquist-Shannon 1, BMI 0.

Another thing is that an unloaded amp can easily oscillate at ultrasonic frequencies. Without the correct load the feedback network doesn't function as intended which can cause instability. This can damage the tubes and the OT.

Your measurements are DC measurements and are irrelevant. The issue is high-voltage AC transients. Without a *correct* load there is a very strong chance that AC transients on the plates will be great enough to cause dielectric breakdown of the transformer insulation. When this happens arcing...

Not sure what you are referring to but if I said it I stand behind it. The Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem is well-proven so I'm not sure what you are ranting about. If it weren't you wouldn't have been able to post that SoundCloud clip in your original post. :lol: :LOL:

Temperature is irrelevant. The insulation fails because of the excessive voltage. It's called withstand or breakdown voltage. 1 mA through your output tubes will induce 1600 volts on the OT. That is enough to punch through the insulation. Yes, you right, I spread "technical bullshit" on the...

A 50W Marshall has an impedance ratio of 400 typically for the 8-ohm tap. The 4K input impedance of your sound card therefore will be multiplied by 400 resulting in 1.6 Megohms on the power tube plates. Even the tiniest bit of current through the power tubes will cause huge voltage...

Loni, I like you as a person so please accept what I say as constructive criticism: 1. For us, the show this year was a waste of time and money. While our turnout was good compared to others, it was the same old faces. Half the people that came into our room said "I've already got one". I...

Last year "Prymaxe Vintage" was there and they had a ton of pedals. I don't see them on this years list though.

The electronics are made in USA from globally sourced parts. Our sell price is lower than what most manufacturers would charge given our BOM cost. Since we sell direct, the mark-up is lower.

Good ears. The 5150 evolved from the Recto (which evolved from an SLO 100).

Good to know.

I believe you only have 90 days to file a CC claim for chargeback.
