Stop making me laugh!!!, something that's not coated.

After a couple years of DR's I just put some Ken Smith Rockmasters on the Lull, it's true love all over again.
 
@theFixer Isn't that your favourite song?
Sorry @Kenova ... but I'm gonna hafta pass on this vid. The Offspring makes me hate. They make me hate to such a degree, that all other occupants of this planet are not safe. My epitaph will ready quite simply "Fvck the Offspring" so that future generations will know the depth of my loathing. I could go on... but I believe I've made my point.

But Kenova's tone and playing......................
 
Do an a/b test of two identical amps. One loaded with kt88’s and one with 6550’s. I predict the audible difference would be somewhere between zilch and nada

Well obviously I should have the amp with the KT88s ... but yeah, the 6550s are supposed to break up a little quicker. Other than that? Couldn't give much of a rat's hind parts.
 
That does look cool, thanks. :thumbsup: But there is actually a lot of good stuff on the web and at the various tube store sites. I just haven't taken the time to better school myself on the technology. Plus, that frees that $40 up to buy some new guitar amp tubes or to put towards a lower power bass tube head!:roflmao:
buy the book... or ask for it as a gift. It's the tube amp bible.

I've done that a number of times, and with a number of tubes. At bedroom levels... you'd be right. At performance level (at least with guitar), I'd argue at length.

So, you do or don’t love the Offspring? I can’t tell

There's no polite way of saying this. One stroke of the finger................

He was a pretty nice fella sometimes. Gonna miss him
