I bought the tubes in the fall because to be fair you offered a very good deal - and I had just gotten in line for a KK++, the tubes were for that amp. The Gower arrived in February, the tubes sat in the same box you sent them in for all of those months in my apartment, never even opened them to...
I had a vintage OD-1 (MIJ, had the preferred opamp). I A/B'd it with my buddy's stock 2000's TS9. The Tubescreamer sounded better, fuller, more balls. Now I've got a Maxon OD808X - it's a step up from the TS9 in terms of even more hair/gain/balls/cut. This is my favorite OD so far in my very...
Wow.... he sold me some =C= EL34's last fall. I put them in an amp for the first time a few weeks ago. Blew the fuse immediately, one of the =C= wasn't lighting up, leading me to believe it was bad. I put the JJ's back in that were in it originally (and a new fuse), amp worked 100% fine.
I sent...
I had an excellent experience with Fryette. It was a pretty simple issue, but they handled it incredibly professionally, and when I offered to cover shipping they told me not to worry about it.
I'm the second owner of it. The original owner bought it recently, used it once, and sold it (no idea why, didn't ask - I just jumped on the deal since it was a sweet price). They have 100% feedback and have been very communicative, they claim they never opened it - who knows how the screws got...
Yup, I've gotten every screw out....... except for two which are hideously stripped. :doh:
Going to try the rubberband method later today... hope that works. Very annoying.
Borrowing a friend's Blackstar Fly 3 watt mini amp. It's really pretty good actually. With a TS9 front, I may prefer it to my MicroCube, and that's saying a lot, I love my Cube.
Just had one delivered.... one of the power tubes came out of its socket. Anyone know how to open this thing up? I unscrewed the two screws near the tubes, wasn't enough. Do I have to fully unscrew everything to get in?
I played a Blackstar Metal head (I think that's what it was called?) at a gig a few weeks ago, I had brought a 2000's Dual Recto because my main head is being worked on. The Blackstar smashed the DR, so I used it for the gig. Would love to play one again. It even sounded good through the 70/80...
