    What Brand Is This Tube

    What Brand Is This Tube

    I bought three sets of these tubes, but can't remember where. Does anyone recognize them? If I remember correctly they were cheap, but they sound great.

    OK, I Have To Brag!

    Being a pretty technical software guy from WAY BACK, I hate to admit finding FB the most unintuitive piece of software I've every tried to navigate. It's horrible! Fortunately my son has done all the work for me. And we're just getting started!

    New REVERB unit for the HELLFIRE!!

    Mud, you're right about the orientation. The tank is extremely susceptible to EMF, and the external grounding has to be done very carefully. Tube and transformer placement are important.

    Sliding on a Soul Tramp

    New REVERB unit for the HELLFIRE!!

    Dust yes, and vibration. They don't provide any EMF shielding. However, layout is very important with a reverb circuit, as is the internal & external grounding scheme. The circuit is very prone to grounding issues and noise, and voltage sensitive.
