The tubes that came in the first issue made them stand apart until they ran out.

The Jose prototype amp went missing, never to be found

I wish James Brown could speak on more podcasts. He's a lot of fun to listen to. I've heard that he can't really do podcasts due to certain work requirements.

JB is a Pro and likely put up with way more than he should have.
I worked on million+ dollar properties in FLA in the trades. Those folks will grind on you.
The essence of the 5150 was a ripp snorting fire-breather.
Peavey tech John Fields goes way back. Fields still works for PV. JB designed all the 5150 Iconic stuff too.
Drugs & drama was Ed's issue. Gets the best of em.

Yep. My OG had 'em. My backup Sig did not. Luckily I had switched from rack pre's to the 5150's and the last power amp I owned was the beastly PV Stereo Classic 120, loaded with 8 Sylvania's. I pulled those and replaced then with I think, Sovteks and sold it. So I always had a stash of the Sylvania's for as long as I owned my 5150's.

In fact when I switched to the JSX, I loaded it with those Sylvania's that had been in the back up 5150.
