VB2-refurbed, retubed with Svetlana's

OMG my amp sounds better than ever after a visit to the shop-

A few weeks ago it finally blew the internal fuse (after 3 years) and had to go in to the shop for a once over. The Peavey tech fixed all cold soldered joints, made the internal fuse changeable without taking out the circuit board, and retubed the amp with Svetalna's. He said it had been running on just two of the power tubes when I brought it in to him.

Got the amp back Friday, been playing on it all weekend, it sounds amazing! I'm running it through a 1x15" cab elevated about a foot and a half off the ground, it sounds so good with all my basses I am in bliss. I thought the amp was great before, now that I know what it can really sound like I am blown away. I have a gig next weekend, can't wait to use it- hope I'm not too loud, that's the only problem it's really a powerful amp, even with the 1x15" cab. Can't wait, dang I love it!!!!
