Picked up a quad of old Sylvania 5U4GB from eBay and received them today. They look to be in great shape and were all tested prior to selling. My question is about the number of pins. I have only seen 4 & 5 pin 5U4's and one of these has all 8 pins like a power tube. I assume its no big deal...

Orange Hi Gain works fine, but when switched to clean it clips the amp horribly. Everything else seems to work fine except the clean channel. The problem is intermittent, have tried using the wimpy, stock neck pickup and still clips bad when you dig in any thoughts? Fairly new tubes all...

A few question for those who have customized there rectifiers... I'm going to have a hardwood headshell built for my triple rectifier, and I'm planning on using zebrawood. I want to change to a nicer leather handle but I need the hardware to be black, anybody know of anything out there like...

Hey Guys, First Post here. Figured I should join up since I am now owner of a Triple Rec I would just like some basic feedback and maybe some tips and tricks about them. I have been on a quest to find my new tone. I am in a metal band in OK, and i have been going through different amps until I...
