I bought a few on **** for one of my projects, and they're easily twice as noisy as JJs. I would not recommend them for the first tube (the closest to the input jack) in particular, and in very high gain amps for the second tube in the lead channel as well (location varies). Buyer beware.

It's time for some new tubes for my Fender Super Reverb. Right now it has Sovtek 6L6WXT+ power tubes and EH preamp tubes. The Sovteks were ok. They glow blue and sounded prety good when new but I'd like to try something different. The smoother sounding the better. Any sugestions?

Have any of you guys (or gals) had much experience with 'em? Ive been looking for a nice amp for a while now and I must say this one's tone is simply brilliant. I worked my behind off all summer to save for rig ugrades, so I really need some other opinions before i make this kind of investment...

My band is finally playing gigs and I now have to mike my amp. That changes everything! I had my sound prety much set and I like the way it sounds when I'm standing next to my amp but when I mike it it sounds harsh. (I placed the mic everywhere, off center, center, back of amp, etc..) What I...

Hi everyone! I have a Fender Super Reverb amp that I bought from a friend a few years back. I am trying to figure out what year it is, and what all of the fuss is about the "blackface mod." I have been looking around on the net for the past few hours trying to figure this out, but I don't...

My tube amp stopped working last night. It's a '75 Fender Super Reverb. It blew a fuse at my last gig, and last night it blew another fuse. I replaced the fuse but now I have no sound. All of the tubes light up. I replaced each tube with a spare one at a time and that made no difference. I...

Which has more to do with loss of tone in a pedal board setup? 1) Using those cheap thin cables between each pedal or 2) cheaper, not "true bypass" pedals? I'm talking about six pedals.... Compressor - Wah - overdrive #1 - overdrive #2 - chorus - delay. I was very happy with my pedal...

My mesa F50 combo has a small weird resonance problem. At a certain frequency it is like a tube is resonating with the guitar sound . I can hear it phisically vibrate (mettalic sound. It is not that something in my room is vibrating so that I'm wrong. I can hear the sound comming from the...

I'm just about done collecting pedals for my pedalboard. One thing I don't have is a compressor. Should I have one? I understand the princeable behind how they work but I haven't used one much. I'm going into a Fender Super Reverb tube amp and playing heavy blues, rock, hard rock, old school...

I have an old Silverface Fender Super Reverb. Lately I'm getting a buzzing sound when I hit a certain note. I'm not sure if it's something loose on the amp itself or if it's a buzzing or electrical sizzling type sound from the speakers. I tightened all the screws I can find and I just can't...
