Blew a kt88 in a mesa four 88......

Glad it worked out for you. Welcome to the Forum. It's always nice to have a new member to share in all this fun.
Yeah appreciate it bud. I know im new to the group, and been schooled on some technical stuff, called some people out on some stuff, shared my opinions, been made a fool.....but thats all a part of learning i guess, and we all gatta learn somehow! But yes i tend to be too much of a free spirit, and speak my mind too quick. But thats just me. And i hope everyone, or most of everyone on here will understand. Funk head. Hell yeah. Im all about some funk. Not much of a slapper but love to get funky with a pick. Most people dont realize you cant just pick up the funk. One must be BORN with the funk baby. Rock on buddy. Till next time. (Ps. I got a clemson vs. Bama poll in the off topic section. So far, its been fun talking junk with the boys)

You owned one hugh? Then tell me whats the next thing you do after unscrewing the top plate screws beforw lifing the top cover off......

Unplug the LED lights...

But really, not everyone who owns one is going to open it.

Lastly, why would I lie to a complete stranger about what amps I've owned? I'm not 12...

Do you want me to provide the link to the For Sale ad in the Classifieds?

I have too many amps and it wasn't getting enough play time. Cool amp for sure but I preferred my other tubes amps (400+, SVT II, V4B).
400+ to me is waaay overkill for my gigs. Hell even the svt classic was here and there.....but i do know how killer the tone was in a v4b. (70s model) only thing i hated about it that it wasnt enough power for big gigs and weighed almost as much as a svt. I messed around and bought an ebs classic 90t just for the heck of it a few hours ago. Prob just an at home use head but i got to try it.

V4B reissues are only 40ish lbs. Stick it on a big cab and it'll be plenty loud for big gigs. Maybe not super clean but that's the reason you ply a V4B over an SVT.

A Prodigy doesn't look cool unless it looks like this.
