Thundersteel Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Just got this in today: I'd like to thank Kuz for an outstanding packing job! Everything arrived safely, no damage whatsoever, and the amp looks brand spankin' new! I had a chance to try it out a little bit, and it really smokes! The Tone Tubby speaker breaks up nicely at high volume. I needed another amp like I need another hole in the head, but I bought it because you can install a 6L6 in conjunction with an EL84; each tube has its own bias adjustment pot! So, theoretically, one can combine the Fender sound with the Marshall sound--a hybrid, if you will. This opens up some interesting tonal possibilities. Thanks again, John!
FredZepp Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Whew... no doubt that is a classy amp. Looks great and I'm sure that it has tone to burn....
Kuz Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Enjoy in good health Eric!!! I am going to miss that one, but I am trying to down size a little. You got it at a GREAT price and you can't get better components. Which tube did you use in V2? The AT7 or AX7?
FredZepp Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Oh.. and look... it's a Hempcone speaker, I hear that those are really smokin' .
Steiner Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 TS when you showed up at PSP with that cadre of fine amps, I thought seriously about renting another room to just check out amps. I mean, hell, what's sleep? It's highly over rated. You just lay there in the dark and do nothing... Mixing power tubes within a circuit sounds like hours of never-ending fun! Congrats!
fxdx99 Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Another amp, Eric?!? Wow - excellent that you and Kuz could work out a deal - that really is a smoking cool sounding (and looking) amp. Recall it from PSP1 where it was cranking out some wonderful sound. Enjoy.
Thundersteel Posted September 26, 2010 Author Posted September 26, 2010 Which tube did you use in V2? The AT7 or AX7? I played with both, but I think I prefer the AX7. I don't play clean much, so I need some "dirt" in my signal. I thought seriously about renting another room to just check out amps. Sounds like a party to me! However, I doubt I'll be bringing that many amps to PSP IV; probably just one or two, and my bass "Rig of Doom."

Awesome looking amp. Sort of thing I will have no opportunity to play over here. Can only guess how cool it sounds. How long did you have to wait?
pegleg32 Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 TS, I'm really glad that beautiful amp found a good home. And what a price!!! That is one I will probably regret passing up, but I'm sure you will enjoy it the way it should be. congrats.
brentrocks Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Eric, you have more amps than i have underwear!
Thundersteel Posted September 26, 2010 Author Posted September 26, 2010 Do you take requests??? I'll take almost anything given to me. How is the pedal board working out? Great! I put all my pedals on the board last night. I just had to order some short patch cables to connect them all together. How long did you have to wait? Not long at all! Two days for shipping, and that's it! Eric, you have more amps than i have underwear! And I change mine every day! (amps and underwear)
koula901 Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Eric, congrats! I had a chance to buy that baby, but was just not ready yet. It's very interesting that you have the 6L6 and EL84 tubes. Can you combine the sound of those tubes to whatever degree you like?
Gitfiddler Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 What a great amp! I bet it sounds as good as it looks. Glad it could stay in the HOC family.
Kuz Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 What a great amp! I bet it sounds as good as it looks. Glad it could stay in the HOC family. +1
tulk1 Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Eric, you have more amps than i have underwear! Eh .... wha? TMI. TMI!!! Nice score on the Bluesbox, Eric.
LK155 Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Eric, you have more amps than i have underwear! Yeah, but unlike underwear, you can't just turn an amp inside out and use it again the next day...........
Thundersteel Posted September 28, 2010 Author Posted September 28, 2010 Can you combine the sound of those tubes to whatever degree you like? I'm not sure--Kuz hasn't sent the owner's manual yet! (Hint! Hint!)
