Is it possible you can describe how the ruby tubes sounded? Was there a sort of fizz in the gain? Thanks

Thank you that helps a lot

Ha, I did that this Christmas with a £10k watch. I couldn't make my mind up as to which colour, so they took me upstairs to a bar and got me drunk.... I told them I play the blues, so I came out with a blue one. lol!

Man that sh*t rocks!

Just like having a click track when you used to record in the studio

Bought a vintage second hand amp on Saturday, just walked in and paid for it. [Didn't want to plug it in, in case I got fried! -Its going to the tech for servicing before that gets mains power to it}

What has gone wrong with the world of UK Guitar and Amp retailers. Its a simple ask: I have $5000 or GBP 4000 to spend on a High end Amp. I am told its tough out there and no ones got any cash to spend, and everyone's having a hard time. Well, so am I. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to...

Hi there, I'm having the same issues too. I'm trying to get a project together and the sites just seem full of ego's and people who cant even return calls or reply and honestly, apart from asking around, there just doesn't seem to be anything that carries serious local musicians: I've even...

62 and totally f**ng amazed I actually made it this far

Hi, Love to get my hands on a Freyette. Does anyone know where I can get one? I'm in the UK. I've asked around at several dealers, most never heard of the brand and certainly no stockists carry it?

Thanks, Yeh, its hard to document what it sounds like. One thing though? Do you know if the valves or tubes need a couple of hours running in before things settle down? The reason why I say this is, because all week I've been going to ring the Tech and ask him to back off the gain in the amp...

Welcome my friend! No, drums are hard, guitar is easy, until you get to the technical bit: Which amp, which lead, which pedal ?? I have only been here a week or two, but I already learnt a lot from these folks. So keep banging away at guitar! [sorry couldn't resist that!]

Hey, some great advice here, I'm already learning a lot - keep it up my friend & thanks

6 x Ruby Tubes [12AX7AC] and 6 X KT77-JJ

Do I take it then, that its not a given that a tech will automatically bias the valves?

Hi Dude, The Herbert is 180w RMS, more to give the clean channel more headroom. Mk2 has even more: story is band Korn use them extensively, so the Herbert was designed and built more or less for these guys. Two things I notice, is the pre re-valve settings, are now a good 2or 3 notches back, but...

That's sounding right up my street, prefer winding back than channel switching - I play a lot of Gary Moore covers, so need that articulate gain, + clean + uni-vibe rythmn.

Here's the dilemma: Rig: Diezel Herbert Head bought new 2010, MK1, through a Diezel 4x4 Rear loaded cabinet. 2 months ago, develops background distortion in the clean channel. Sounds like a valve dying. Emails Diezel direct and as usual gets no reply. Rings my guitar tech and he's says take...

Thanks for the introduction to Fryette brand. Its not a brand I've heard of before, so it was really interesting following the links provided to hearing one in the video. I have to say based on what I heard the gain structure is really rich, smooth and articulate. The clean was to my ears a bit...

Thanks, nice to feel welcome
