Ive been working on some vintage tubed harman kardon integrated tube amps… do any of you guys own tube amps or vintage gear?
I’ve got a tube head on my half stack…does that count?
sure… what make/model and tube compliment?
No, its a horrible technology BJT FTW!
it’s a marshall…I didn’t have a ton of money at the time so it’s a low-end version…Not sure the model I’ll look though
if you guys have never heard high end tube amps, most sound sweet and very musical, easy on the ears, more fun to listen to than some solid state amps. Neither tube or ss is perfect but each def sounds unique to me
I’ve been running a carver CM-1090 with sonic holography for a while now and it’s one of the cleanest amps i’ve ever listened to. Literally night and day compared to everything else.
dmoffitt has owned a bunch of tube stuff over the years.
Maksim2000 currently has a Rogue with a bunch of different tubes.
So sexy
and of course the gorgeous Mesa Boogie triple Rectifier
My guitarist in my old band had that mesa head and for the longest time called it the rectalfier as he paid out the ass for it.
Ya, this is my Rogue Tempest (Magnum upgrade):
Currently tubed with:
4 Gold Lion KT88
4 RCA 12AU7 (Clear top) and 2 Shuguang 12AX7
very nice! Gold Lions are not cheap at all…
Nah, they are re-issue, only like $250 to re-tube it every couple years.
