Gotta go with a broadbrushing CRAP on this one.

Waffles for "I Talk to the Wind" and Mellotrons.

The neck was good after 3 coats of Tru oil, rubbed with steel wool between coats and after. Feels great! 4 coats on the face of the body. The red paint was a refin and applied very thickly. I sanded the face just for the hell of it 2 years ago and I'm glad I did. That's gotta be the prettiest plywo...

You may have to budget for maintenance, but at least it can be repaired!

^^Interesting example of a large scale automation scenario. My amps with JJs have been fine for me, but I didn't mean to discount your experiences. I think what's frustrating is there's a lot of bullshit marketing from modern tube distributors and not a lot of transparency. Your questions above are ...

When we say “tube quality” is that something that’s quantifiable in production steps? For example, are our revered NOS tubes constructed more accurately inside, with more durable welds that have closer physical tolerances? Or are the metal parts themselves not consistent? I am absolutely ignorant a...

Otherwise I guess I can just buy Behringer's cheap ass CV pedal. Before you do, have a read through some reviews on amazon. ;) Hahahaha. Well, it's either that or an old DOD FX17 (which is clunky as hell, bandmate had one 20 years ago) because I'm NOT spending $150 on a CV pedal! Those DOD treadles...

Congratulations! You now have the music in you!

Terrible crap.

Yeah, the reality is probably more of a bummer, but it's much nicer to think and talk about the alternative. I'm sorry to go to bummer town here, but the reality is that the quality of current tube production already sucks. Replacement Sovtek/EHX, Tesla/JJ have been going up in price as long as I h...

Tube amps are still the default for guitar (not including beginner kits of course) w/ thousands made every year - and there are MILLIONS of amps already made that will eventually need theirs replaced, so there is absolutely no shortage of demand . EDIT: also the hi-fi/audiophile market now seems to...
