New production tube EL34

Hello,

I want to replace my cheap EL34 tubes that where only for testing my amp.

NOS are hard to find and way too expensive. What would you recommend for EL34? What about 12AX7?

Regards
JP

Re: Trainwreck Express Head Cabinet step by step

Actually a cover does good things for you, especially in an environment where you have a lot of electrical noise. You never know when that is going to occur so a cover is cheap insurance.

Head cab

Hey guys!

Here is first layer(of 3) of finishing oil. I used Prato-Verde Secondo, from Québec, Canada.

How do you mount the aluminum chassis with the wood cab?



Thanks,
