Great strings and not too pricey either. I had a problem with a rogue medium scale that had found its way into my long scale set. A quick tweet and 3 days later a whole new set arrived. This is the sort of customer service that generates return custom.

Thank you for all your replies so far ive decided that I definitely want early breakup.

If you own a Trace then I’d recommmend one of these. One careful American owner.

I did a gig on 8 pints once. I sounded great. No one else thought so.

Thoughts on this? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183186481526

Oooo early breakup sounds like a lovely option. Especially if her indoors nixes my Barefaced 15” fancying.

I’ve recently got hold of a Trace AH600SMX, nicknamed ‘The Herniator’ and was wondering about valvage. Neither I nor the previous owner have any idea how old the valve is, so it could be 20 years old as it’s a ‘98 amp. The valve is a 12ax7 Golden Lion. I’d like to replace it and am looking for recommendations. Am I right to assume that all 12ax7/ECC83 valves are designed to a certain spec and that any tonal variations are manufacturer dependent?

Pull it out. Clean the jets, needle and float bowl with some carb cleaner, reassemble and add some fresh fuel.

Unless, like me, you end up with bits left over 🤪

Superb thank you! Another question. There should be four rubber feets on the side of the case. They are absent on mine but the original screws and washers are plugging the holes. Can anyone tell me the diameter and height of rubber feets needed?

I shall have a go with that when I get a chance. Can you tell me, the EQ level control, what does it do, in layman’s terms? Does it mix between dry (0, no EQ) and wet (10, all EQ)?

I previously posted a picture of my Promethean amp on top of the Trace. Here is another.

My current EQ setup.

Actually, I think this may explain that it is normal operation?

Can I just confirm something that’s been niggling. I plugged my cab into one of the speaker outputs on the rear panel, let’s say the left output. There is no sound unless I turn up the left line out volume control on the rear panel, regardless of the volume on the front panel. Is this normal operation?
