Tube Amp Archive

Hey Mark, I played through a Faustine Phantom attenuator, a week or two ago, and to tell you the truth, it changed my thinking on them. The unit really did a good job of taking the volume down without messing with the tone. The problem is that there apparently is a very long waiting list. I'm thinki...

Hey Mark, I do not gig with the Express. I have a Komet Concorde that I bring out of the house. That said, one of the cool things about Ken's amps is that they are actually not that loud. I mean, you wouldn't be doing a coffee shop with one, nor would you set your 1 year old daughter down infront of...

Hey G,

Nothing wrong with what your friends do with their cars, as long as it makes them happy. Life is short and it goes fast - I know all too well as I have six children and one has already graduated college and moved out. Number two is soon to follow, next month.

Tom

Well, I'm gla it was in fun. Truth be told, I never heard of this forum before until I accidentally stumbled onto it. I've been a member of The Gear Page for a good number of years under the same username as well as a member of the Acoustic Guitar Forum, though only for a few months too. Anyway, no ...

Hey Mark, Cherry Lynn has Mullard EL34/6CA7's for power tubes - they are welded plate single getter XF2's (not 100%sure about the XF2, as the print is very faint). Peculiar thing about the EL34's is they say "electronics for medicine" on them. The preamps are Mullard, Amperex Bugle Boy and Telefunke...

Not quite sure what you guys are gettin' at, but I own Trainwreck Express, Cherry Lynn, and Trainwreck Liverpool, Roxy. I'd like to buy a pre '95 Rocket, so if you know anyone interested in letting go, please let me know.

All The Best !!
