I rebuilt my board around the Rocktron, it's been fine. Occasionally, if you are plugged in to the active input and power it up, it goes into the programming mode. Not a big deal, just a weird glitch. Just have to switch it off and turn it on again.
Other than that it's functioning flawlessly...
Oh, really? This is an outrage that demands a bloodletting? No one here as a teenager has ever had a verbal confrontation with their parents? Where their parents said/did some incredibly stupid things? No one here has had some very aggravating moments parenting their teenage kids?
Not at all...
I think it's frightening that most people who watch this video can't dismiss it as typical teenager/parent friction, and wish to criminally assault the mother.
Oh man. I was trying to help someone over there with their guitar and got crucified because I tried to explain both advantages and drawbacks of SS frets.... it was unreal.
Oh, I wasn't judging her singleness. I've got a few single Moms that work for me and I know for whatever reason that they became a single parent, it's a tough row to hoe. I do question approving of your 14 year old girl's sexual relations with her boyfriends, that definitely sends up a red flag...
No argument from me!
I had the rather unfortunate experience of having to go through the "child abuse" legal grind, and got a first hand education on how Child Protective Services work. Without going into the gory details too much, my teenage daughters were being punished for something really...
Good point, LP....
I had another thought, if you really feel this was bad, remember he's 17 almost 18, of military service age. He could be screamed at with much profanity how worthless he is, and be physically attacked and challenged all day, every day, but it's not called abuse. It's called...
Look, if you've ever parented teenagers.... what I'm trying to say and obviously failing at so far, is that this is a 40 second slice of his life. Yeah, the Mom appears to be a complete jerk. But I bet he is not lacking for food, clothing, forced to do labor, restrained, sexually abused...
I would but now I'm too shattered by your verbally abuse! :cry: :cry: :cry: Please stop or I'll have to respond appropriately, like with threats of physical violence because now I'm fully justified by your mental torture!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
+1 on the Sovtek 5881 tubes. They're the best 6L6 type. They do seem to run at a little higher temp than other types which can be alarming if you aren't aware. No problems though with tube life on these even with rough handling and travel.
I also like the Sovtek 6550's, best 6550/KT88 type IMO.
