Recently found these italian guys making strats, teles and superstrats with nitro, distressed and funky finishes. They also make parts AFAIK.

Tubes related discussions are getting quite popular right? Ok guys, experience with these? For what I have gathered the PSVANE tubes

while the Classic/Red...
Hi there, just want to know the identity of these 12ax7s - which are rebranded AFAIK.
The first one is a TAD 7025WA HigGrade, plates inside are shiny and the tube glows like hell when working. Sound quite clear and bright.
The second one is Tube Town rebranded 12ax7/ECC83 "Classic" , this one...
