Hello everyone, I just got my very first tube amp, a Laney LC50-II, which has 4 12AX7s and 2 EL34Bs. I was browsing through the manual while checking out some jemsite threads, when I found a page in the amp manual about the tube sockets being labelled V1 through V4 for the preamp tubes and V5...

I'm looking for a 1x12 combo for mostly home use and maybe band practice. My live rig is a F30 with 2x12 cab. I want good cleans and a decent Satch type rock tone that's not sterile. I've tried the new Randall G3 series, sucks, no lead tone worth anything. If I can't find a good Solid State...

Hi all. I have a Peavey Valveking Head, it's great but it lacks gain in a big way. I want to replace the tubes so that this gain is increased by a massive amount if possible, what would you recommend? Or could it be a problem with the tubes that is giving me this lack of gain? There's no power...

Hi all, I've been looking at different amps and I've noticed that some amps (Peavey Valveking / one preamp tube on the Hughes and Kettner Trilogy has a 'cover' on it.) The 'covers' I'm talking about are silver in colour and spring loaded type thing- why are they present on some amps and not on...

Hi all, hope all is well. Quite self explanatory really, which do you prefer and why in the Peavey 6505+ and the Triple XXX? They are both the same price on Peavey's site. Regards Jonny

Since acquiring my Rivera combo, I've quit my band and thus, no longer need my half-stack. The JSX is in near-mint condition and has about 50 hours on the original EH power & preamp tubes. Used for 2 private party gigs and a dozen or so practices. No funky smokey odors and it has been in storage...

Ok, so this is just a wild idea, so I don't want anyone bashing me if this idea is stupid. :D But me and my buddy have been talking about the future of tube amps and solid state getting better, etc. And since I'm really into jazz right now, I have come to love solid state cleans, namely the...

I own a nice tube amp head with a 4 x 12 cabinet and which sounds nice... It is hand made and it didnt cost me that much money. But, the first thing I realised was that it has chineese made tubes, so Im thinking about changing them for some groove tubes... The amp is similar to a mesa boogie...

I really like this amp, but it's total overkill for what I'm doing, so it's time for it to move along. This thing sounds amazing, from glassy cleans to medium gain bluesy grit to rip your face off high gain tones. This includes a flight case. Tubed with JJ 6L6 power tubes and ENGL preamp tubes...

Alas, it has come time for me to part with my lovely little THD. I am of course a bit gutted but it must now be sold in order to help replenish some of the cost of my new amp! boohoo. This amp is in mint condition. comes with loads of spare and different valves. a yellow jacket converter to...

Hey guys. just got a DD-3. its a great pedal but i dont know where to put it in my chain. its a simple chain. just DS-1 to a BAd horsie 2 to my amp. where should i put the delay?? first, in the middle or after the wah?? one extra thing. how does steve vai get that hold effect in I know...

I been using this peavey 6505+ head with marshall 1960A cab for about 5 or 6 month now, its been working great but it started to make noises just like those small practice amps. I tried to turn off my computer or lights and phone off, and unplug the chord from input, nothing helps. does anyone...

Just wanting to know, my uncle's old Fender something-or-other's tubes are close to dieing, so i want to change them for him (and to play on it for hours on end, obviously :) ) next time i go off to iran to visit. He likes the harmonic overtones during wide vibrato's, bends on 15th fret B...

So I'm looking to get a small (small like...10 watts) solid state (or tube but I know that can get pricey) amp to use with my POD. At home I have it set up with my favorite amp of all time for use with the pod, the Atomic Reactor, but for being up at school I just want something compact with a...

Carvin Legacy Head with Carvin Cover, Footswitch and many, many tubes! This amp has been babied and sits in my smoke free studio. It has no scratches or scuffs and is in pefect condition. It comes with Ruby EL34BSTR Power Tubes installed and various preamp tubes. It also comes with many other...

Peavey Windsor all tube head in excellent condition. This extremely affordable amp has a hot-rodded british vibe to it... really comes to life with a great distortion pedal like a tubescreamer or sparkle drive out front. Features 3 12AX7 preamp tubes, 4 EL34 power amp tubes, patent-pending Class...

The amp is in good condition with one or two minor tears in the tolex. I recently had all the pots cleaned, one of the preamp tubes replaced and the input shielded by a tech. This helped cut down on noise considerably. The amp comes with the Midi Footswitch and original box. I believe it is a...

Hey guys, another power tube thread. Just have a couple of questions I love the sound my F-100 gets with its sovtec 6l6's. But i just need to know. what other tubes can fit instead of 6l6's??? has anyone ever switched the stock tubes with different model tubes?? Would there be any bias...

Hi, Do you prefer transistor amps, or tube equipped ones? I checked out the amp guide, but there was nothing there (I couldn't find anything when I did a search). I know not much about this particular subject, so I thought I'd post this poll. Also, maybe it turns out as something interesting...
