I use V1. I just swap them in and check for microphonics, if they produce sound & if it sounds good. I have a plexi so I can test both sides of a 12ax7 with each channel.

Just use your amp; its the best tube tester you can have. It will tell no lies and test everything including how they SOUND. Just have a few fuses handy if a power tube is shorted. Plus, you can match power tubes too if you can measure the bias current while testing. I do this all the time...

I agree. Being a tone chaser helps to keep being a musician interesting for me. Having great tone and being a decent player far outweighs being a vertuoso hotshot shred master with lousy tone. I see it all the time when I see local bands. Great tone goes along way, especially playing with a band.

I have an old dual sound that was once in my 1980 standard and thought it sounded awesome. I swapped it out for a 36th ann. for a more vintage sound but now I might put that old dual sound back in. It's old and just has the white, black and metal ground shielded wire. Double cream too.

Try a fresh battery. Also, unscrew the plug's outer case and try and get a good connection with the meter probes where the wires are soldered to the plug.

That's how my Superlead is. In the same room, some days it sounds like VH 1 and & I'm happy and other days it sounds terrible like I have worn tube(s) or something. The tone will be off and the gain just won't seem to be there. Very frustrating. I guess it has to with humidity, temperature, our...

I do that. I send a line out from my Superlead into the return on my DSL 40CR. sounds awesome.

1. I cant stretch my finger for a 6 fret stretch! been trying for 40 years, my hands are just to small no matter what. 2. Sweep picking. Even if I could, I probably wouldn't do it because it sounds cheesy IMO. I have done it by accident and thought it was cool though! LOL

I'm going through that now with my mom and sister.....Ugh.

Sixers tickets sounds justifiable to me. Go sixers!!!!!!

I think the whole tone in the fingers thing is mostly how hard you pick and and how aggressive you attack the fretboard. Those two make a huge difference, however, so does the gear. It's both together so the old saying is half true.

I been using the same JB pickup since 1988. It has been in a dozen guitars throughout the decades. I am honestly not liking that sound too much anymore.

I once had a GC salesman try to to convince me that a little solid state amp that was on sale for a little over 100 bucks was an all tube amp. I laughed and asked if he was serious? Yes he was. LOL

I have an old tube tester a co-worker gave me that I sometimes I use but most of the time I just use my guitar amp with a couple fuses handy. LOL Best tube tester there is as it tests everything including how good it sounds. I use my amp too when matching a bunch of various used power tubes to...

Fender Mustang!

Prices peaople are asking are the biggest lies I see lately!

I just sold a bunch of pedals on CL. I sold a brand new Boss DS-1 for 20 bucks. There were about 5 other listings for the same pedal but in worst shape asking 40 -50 bucks. You have to sell for dirt cheap or people will buy used gear on line w/ free shipping. I'd rather buy a used pedal with...

Great pickup! They came stock in my 67 V reissues.
