Re: Current Production Tube Compliment?
For preamps I still like the old Sylvanias from the 60s. However I really like the new Groove Tube EL34M mullard clones. I think they even sound better than old Siemens EL34s, which is what my original Express amp originally came equiped with. I haven't heard any new production EL34 that beats the ...

Current Production Tube Compliment?
How's this for a Current Production Tube Compliment?
I was thinking Tung Sol 12AX7s and Winged C EL34s for an Express. Not looking for anything vintage yet.
Better suggestions?

Re: IEC power inlet - heresy?
For the price of that punch, I can get a mini-mill? Hmmmmmm
I think I know which I would buy. To be honest, I think the price of that punch really isn't justified regardless of where it was made.

Re: Exotic wood cabs
I have a friend in the vintage wood business. I had the idea of selling head kits with all of the mill work done but unassembled & unfinished. I found out that the cost of setup & the numbers I would have to sell made it not worth messing with for me. I still think it's a fun idea. That could be a ...

Re: Exotic wood cabs
Email Anthony yourself and he'll give you a quote. His cabs are great quality and pretty reasonable. I don't believe he does hardwoods though. I do most of my builds in hardwood cabs, yet a lot of folks want tolex as the "is how a guitar amps is supposed to look." I asked Anthony about a tolex/wood...

Re: Exotic wood cabs
You wouldn't be the only one doing this. I just bought a cab from Jeff Swanson that I could have had in just about anything. My budget limited me to black tolex with a paduk insert though. Anthony is doing Tolex Dart is apparently doing some Distortion does some really nice ones. Not telling you not...
