Hi Irongiant14, A 12AX7 tube is an 8-pin tube which contains 2 separate triodes. Each triode has 4 pins (one pin each for the heater, anode, cathode and grid) which manipulate the gain of the signal. Since there are two gain stages in each V(#) socket, to be able to distinguish these triodes...

If I'm not mistaken, the Silent Record feature on the Mark IVs only re-routes the audio signal to the cabinet simulator function/slave outs, but does not actually put a load on the output transformer. You would still need a load box on the amp whilst using this feature. The Silent Record...

Interested if you'd be willing to ship to Australia! Cheers, Chris

I'd love to see pics. I'm based in Australia, but will be in Germany for the next 5 weeks come next weekend to visit family. Would you consider shipping to the EU? Cheers, Chris

Still available? And would you consider shipping? Cheers, Chris
