But I've had 3 amps give me problems, one twice. The first EVH 5153 50 I had cut out here and there. Brand new amp, new preamp tubes. Shit tubes. Threw in some Chinese Bs in there and sounded better and no more cutting out. Had a Marshall VM and at a gig it had no sound in the middle of the set. Changed out ALL tubes and problem solved. All Marshall labeled new production tubes. A pair of brand new KT88s. One redplated immediately so another shit new production tube. So my experience is newer tubes are shit and I don't trust them. I won't pay for NOS prices but there are deals to be had on used tubes, I paid 20 bucks for a pair of Siemens el34s that I've used for numerous gigs and sound as good as Winged Cs to me in my Marshalls. I paid 30 bucks for a lot of 12ax7s that had 7 Chinese, 2 RCAs, 2 Tungsrams....all have been reliable. I bought a bias rite and do my own biasing so no tech needed so far. Some guys have had better luck with new tubes and good for them. Me, I'll stick with my cheapo used vintage tubes.
wellllll you test your own tubes you must be a tech or something thats good cool good for you ive had the original stock tubes in a bugera for 5 years and they still work ill sell you some old mullards from my CLX you want em one of em is clearly burning out but you can test em cuz you test tubes this is all about you and your tubes not about this guy getting a new amp its about you and your tubes your here to tell everybody that buys an amp to buy used tubes and test them yourself so tell me how the fuck do i test my own fuckin tubes to put your old shit in my 4000 dollar amp your just giving skitzo advise with your fat head who the FUCK are you talking to shut the fuck up who pays you to put someones old tubes in their fuckin amp nobody huh there ya go im 15 like your a fuckin amp technician
your saying like if you buy a new amp you should buy a bias thing and buy a bunch of old tubes someones already used for 2 years and test them instead of having someone select brand new ones for you ok that makes about as much sense as replacing your filter caps with someones old ones no what would be good advise would be to do it exactly backwards from what your saying good advise would be to buy an old used amp that your looking for for half price and put NEW tubes in it have a professional test NEW ones for you because they DO that amp shops test NEW tubes so you DONT get BAD ones and then they bitch to the tube company about how 1 out of 5 was bad you dont buy the TUBES used you buy the AMP used and you get NEW ones
