Hello! im thinking of sending my Mark IV up to Petaluma to have it completely checked out head to toe so to speak. Has anyone had any experience sending their mark ivs for check ups? Does the crew up there do a pretty good job of putting it back into newish shape?

Hello all! Has anybody here ever mixed el34s and 6l6s in their amps? Is it even possible to do without damaging the amp? Im just curious as to what effect it would have on the tone haha :shock: any input would be greatly appreciated!

What kind of music do you play? Do you need all the extras the road king has? if not id just go with the roadster :) Ive heard alot about the reborn dual recs being overly fizzy, i myself have one of the 3channel pre-reborn and its a little fizzy but manageable, ive also read that you can...
