  1. Cheers guys. I play dropped C with gain in the middle ( not to clean not to dirty). I was kind of leaning towards the tung sol.... £135? there coming up £166 on watfords, £144 hot rox. Ehx kt88s is what is in at the moment. So I guess super clean and hi Fi is not what I'm after.
  2. I would have thought the tone difference quite minimal with power tubes?
  3. My ampeg cl has a naff power tube so i'm going to pop in a new sextet. i'm on a budget so it's toss up between these.......... [b] [size=4]Electro Harmonix 6550[/size][/b] [b] [size=4]JJ 6550[/size][/b] [b] [size=4]Tung-Sol 6550[/size][/b] [b] [size=4]Sovtek 6550WE[/size][/b] [b] [size=4]Sovtek KT88[/size][/b] [b] [size=4]JJ KT88[/size][/b] I have read up on the different kind of sounds each produce,but my main focus is reliability above sound. any input/experience with these would be a great help :-) (this is my first tube change)
  4. SALE only now..... I need new valves :-(
  5. Cheers but I never got on with the vxl
  6. Some nice trade offers... But still up :-)
  7. Sold a octave pedal to Andy. Easy as it gets to deal with,will certainly sell or buy from him again.
  8. Would you trade on any?
  9. [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1410725888' post='2552484'] Why do you need a tutor? I've never felt the need for one. [/quote] This^ a couple of books,playing with diffent gutarists and the fun of exploring discovering etc is great. only imo of course....... i think it helps with being more creative. bit biased as i tought myself from when i was a teen (so tons of time on my hands)
  10. I've took it off....... Car will probably be nicked now :-D
  11. Well I tried it last night ( first time since I wanged it) I warmed it up all good, after 30 mins of playing the volume dropped a little and it had a high pitch noise? I switched it off changed the socket it was plugged into and noticed it wasn't biased right... So did that as well. My instinct was telling me it might have been the fan making the noise (as the grill with the fan flew out when dropped)....... Gave it a bang,3 hours playing afterwards and no problems at all :-)
  12. I've played the pf500 (500w).... Ok volume I guess. Now own the all valve cl 300w.... Never had it up full ( I can't) stupidly loud, the pro 7 ( apparently 1000w) is absolutely no where near as loud.:-)
  13. Awsome pedal. i have used a vt bass for a few years now on recordings,live etc into hartkes peaveys and combos and all have sounded ace :-) but when i got my all valve svt i sold it on then totally regreted it (i missed the vt tone), recently got this 1........but sadly it seems to colour the sound to much through the cl (Ampeg into Ampeg doesn't do it) make a average rig/combo sound as close as can be to an Ampeg. This pedal is as new condition comes with tin case sticker etc,velcro on the underside. £100 NOW 95 squids posted SALE only [attachment=171474:DSC_0062.JPG]
  14. Great clone of the oc3,steel case. and to my ears i feel this tracks better than the boss. great if you want to try a fairly decent octave and not spend a bomb :-) 20 squid posted[attachment=171473:DSC_0054.JPG]
  15. What 66 diode settings you using now mate? Just out of curiosity :-)
  16. If it's all working then I think a hardcase and folding trolley will be next on my shopping list.
  17. [quote name='taunton-hobbit' timestamp='1410197378' post='2547046'] Amp hurling - nothing like welly wanging. I recall a wet Friday night many moons ago when my (then) girlfriend was carrying my Marshall Plexi 100 (original!) across a quarry-tiled pub entrance floor....... She went one way and the amp went another, both hitting the floor with a dreadful crash. Being the perfect gent, I left her to get up and rescued my amp, which rattled 'orribly. I took it to my local tech the next morning who replaced every valve and tutted over the split in the corner bend of the chassis. He ran it up, and it worked flawlessly (& continued so to do until I sold it on, about 18months later, with the split still there..) - Probably says a lot about early Marshall amps (and girls in wet shoes). [/quote] at least you know your priorities :-D.............would have done the same.
  18. :-D it wasn't half a bang it made
  19. Yeah on hindsight I wish I went for a hardcase.... Making the ampeg anymore heavy than it is( boy is it heavy) wasn't on my list.
