Look into a Rockerverb. Good grind to it, big bottom end if you want, big cut.
Or a Mesa Stiletto. I don't know what a stock one sounds like but my modded one is nuts. Perfect hybrid with Mesa bottom and Marshall cut.
Honestly I am comfortable working in amps, then I cracked open a mkiv and decided not to do it again after that. There is a lot of shit going on in that chassis. It's no JMP in there.
Call the guys at Mesa. They are usually excellent and have the replacement parts you need. Or send it in. It's...
Front loaded cab with vented T75's actually works great, but not rear loaded with T75's. You have to dial the amp in for the cab and may have odd settings in comparison to other speakers but I am liking them a lot. My QR and PM are currently rigged in with that.
Smallblocks work the best for...
Beautiful!
I have had two VH140C die on me. One worked after some work that I did to fail again.
I loved the tone and always have but I don't think that I could trust one.
Price seems to gone up on them too.
I live in Tampa and a friend of friend invited me to join them at a BBQ at Corpsegrinders house a few years ago. George is a straight up awesome dude, and holy hell his neck is really that big. I will be honest and say that I did not talk to him much as there were a ton of people, but it was...
Yeah, BUT the guy claimed his pricing at that was an error and said that they were $12 lol.
I did buy 40 KT88 Shuguang for under $100 shipped though from a different guy.
Do those have the same pinout as a 12AX7? I thought they were different? (edit it IS comparable).
I am going to buy 50 for a feeler. It's about $20. Let's see how it goes!
I remember a while back that people were buying some bulk cheap Chinese 12AX7's that everyone liked. I had the tube type written down but can't find it.
Can anyone hit me with the ebay link?
Tube depot has been really good to me with matching. When I buy power tubes, I order in octets matched. Only one octet of tubes I have ever gotten a matched from tube depot was off by one tube more than 1mA. That's pretty solid. Even on an octet of Genelex Golden Lion KT88's were all the same...
Obviously not EVERYONE is shit and there have always been deceitful people and theives, but I find that the coming generations are more of the 'I want it perfect' , 'I want it cheap' and 'I want it yesterday' mentality. Integrity is not what it was. I am not an old man yelling on my lawn, I am...
No rush at all. I do have a lot of other amps, I think that I am going to take it out of rotation and think about it.
I think I will put it up for trade offers and see what I get, and really think about it heavily.
