excellent. as a techie i love having confirmation on my advice. in the past year or so have i been actually repairing tube amps, so it's good to hear i was right. I just did a full retube on my triaxis/2:90 after it started giving some volume swell issues, i'm convinced it was those same preamp...

their are probably also a few preamp tubes inside the chassis, have you checked those? i'm assuming both channels of the amp are having identical issues, correct? if so then it may be the preamp tubes that are essentially used by both channels. after the rig is warmed up does the problem persist...

looks like theirs 6 of the same screws on the front, take one of the other screws to the store and match the threading.

does the fx unit have a switch for like line/instrument? if so that might just be set wrong. also check that switch on the back of the 2:90. but in the end, does it sound right? if so, dont worry about it. the truth is in your ears.

i'd start with turning the output of the effects down all the way. then adjust the input until it registers properly. then turn the output up to the right place.

#907: the pointier and more physically dangerous the guitar the louder and heavier the tone. #908: guitars only sound good live if you are using atleast two 4x12's, even if its a small bar that only holds 50 people max.

failing caps can start bleeding frequencies different than designed, just depends on where in the circuitry the cap is. and if the sound changes after the unit warms up then that could show a sign of either tube or cap problems. remember caps are how you make crossovers and EQ's in many...

hell if you really need the cable and have some old connectors or semi-faulty cables you can solder together a cable. hell at times i even used lamp cord, or cut a power cable of a piece of dead electronics and solder that for a speaker cable. just make sure the wire is decently thick and solder...

all great points made in this thread so far. i'm just surprised that nobody brought up the point that companies are also making things crappier because now they can sell you the same product over and over again instead of just once every decade or two. either way, i'm glad i work in a small...

this is how things should be handled. i work in a small computer store and have worked for others in the past, because my current shop treats customers like this i am happy with my job and proud of who i work for because of it. many people can fix things or sell things, what i want is someone...

i did a full retube on my triaxis and 2:90 with the high gain set(triaxis) and standard matched set(2:90) and i love them. gave my high gain settings more lively harmonics and sound much more natural and less sterile than the stock mesa tubes. so far eurotubes hasnt let me down, and they...

you have a bunch of amps listed, which one are you using? are you running the power amp in stereo or mono? are you wanting to hook it up through the fx loop or after the preamp. theirs a load of info you arent giving us, such as styles of music and all that. and not everyone wants to go to...

choke up on the pick more, you only need a small amount of the platic to be exposed to the strings.

Dude, you should be able to find a few different ones for any local retailer or online store. you arent saying anything about the rest of your setup, what youre trying to achieve, how you think you need to wire it into the rig, etc. its like coming in here and sayin "where can i buy a pickup...

welcome to the recession. it can make people do stupid/crazy/selfish/dishonest things when they normally wouldnt. luckily all of my ebay transactions the past 2yrs have all been very positive. but on that note, due to the bad economy i havent had the cash to make any large purchases/sales like...

what about the garthmobile? that thing had a liquorice dispenser and disposable cup despenser ya know. party on.

plus, their is a classified section for a reason. this is a discussion area, not a sale/trade area.

i was thinking the same thing about just needing a pickup swap. personally i would recommend trying a steve's special or Tone Zone in the bridge. the Steve's Special is a well balanced with a somewhat high output, the TZ is similar with a more pronounced bottom end. but if you decide to put a...

downloaded it. thanks for the heads up.

and the real answer to hard drive speed is solid state drives, but they arent as high capacity as normal hard drives and theyre really expensive. but yes, the hard drive is a bottleneck, which is why things like pagefile settings can make a difference. but with a relatively modern computer these...
