Hmm interesting Comment shreder75,, midiverb pop'ed your splawn did it? OOPS! Vomhalen! not knocking anything, the clips just had too much highs in the recording and the bottom was woofy, probably from mic placement or?? thats why I was almost thinking it was a open back cab combo amp. ( they seem to woof easy when cranked up) sure made us all think! good move!! mixer settings, recording/mixer settings can mask about anything :-) about like satriani on a Peavey JSX, anyone been able to play a JSX? Dudes! if a amp blows,, rather solid state or Tube.. chances are either way your hosed! I can get solid state parts from radio shack or local geek guy!! Try finding a MM Transformer quickly! or matched EL34's! man I cant even find match tubes most of the time in tulsa, I have to order them. I fix SS amps 4 times faster than tube amps.. and a lot cheaper! last amp was SS I fixed cost $1.99 for two power transistors, soldered in and out the door it went. hehe..yep, remember? I had the friggin' thing for a week and BAM, two tubes gone...I was freakin' out..thought I blew up my baby...haha |

Speaking of reliability, or lack thereof, I've been playing tube amps for (I'm afraid to say this) for about 25 years and have had an amp go poof on me exactly 1 time (when i was about 16 my ancient POS Univox tube amp blew a resistor or something which fried my tubes). That's it, other than that I've never blown a tube, fried a transformer, nothing, zilch. Maybe I've just always played well designed circuits or something, I don't know, but I've had cause to worry about the reliability of my tube amps.
In fact, the only amp problems I've ever had were with ss amps. I've not had many, but I think every one of them went south except for one, a Randall RG100ES. I had a Fender something or other combo, a GK midi preamp, an ADA guitar power amp, they all fried. No more ss gear for me, period. Except for PA use.

That sounds like the first SS stuff they started making, ?? It was pretty bad about blowing up. I melted down a carvin x100b after 6 years of hard road service. the only Ss gear thats blown on me is the cheap berringer stuff. compressors etc.. Some of it actually lasted a few years! a holms 100 watt tube amp blew a capacitor and blew paper everywhere.. was funny after I calmed down. LMAO |
