The store I got it at is a great place and this is really my only problem with them ever ,so no biggie. 
Thanks for the help!
Oh yeah.Any suggestions about what power tubes would be good in a Super? |
Seriously check out Eurotube and look into a set of JJ 6L6s. You may have to look into rebiasing, but they would be able to tell you. The guys there are amazingly helpful and really actually do answer phone calls and e-mails with lots of information. Good customer service and good products. My sense is that the re-issue might be a big more forgiving then an original--but then I don't know for sure. I used to own vintage Fender gear, but traded or sold it all (except for one silverface Vibrolux). I have never really spent a ton of time with the new re-issue stuff. Let us know how you like it and post some clips. The super reverb is an awesome amp. With the old ones you needed to get the right ones though. They were a bit inconsistent from amp to amp. One would think that has changed.
