first time in about 15 years!
LOL
man did it stink.
i kept smelling something like burning plastic....
and finally i snuck a peak behind the amp head, and it was redplating!
LOL again.......
it was hot as hell, hadn't completely given up the ghost, but was already in the death throes.
i was recording..... and had the amp jacked to about 50% power, with an attenuator in line....
i should have been running the fan, but i wasn't. :roll:
i kept thinking to myself "amp sounds like @ss tonight, wazzup?"
and then the smell was the giveaway.
i gotta say, the mesa branded tubes, have been very good to me.
i've never tubed with ANYTHING but mesa tubes, and over the last 32 years, tube wear has been phenomenal.
ok, off to buy tubes at lunch today......
