Well, I’ve done hundreds of transactions that way and only been bitten once I almost always talk with the other person first, but was busy this time and got lazy

It helps to see the tube sockets if you lay the amp on it’s face It’s really important to line up the pins properly Let us know if the new tubes help your clean tone

Absolutely! But, after living in Hawaii for 25 years, I got used to a lot of different dialects, accents, etc…… I think my brain automatically interprets “Broken English,” into English now🤣

I didn’t mean to add confusion, the point that I was trying to make is: The Phase Inverter circuit (V6) is unbalanced by design The only benefits that I have ever seen from a balanced PI are 1. More money for the tube vendor 2. More easily repeatable tone and output wise when you change tubes...

V6 is a funny spot It’s always overlooked in terms of overall gain It is the last preamp tube in the circuit but definitely makes a difference in overall tone I’ve always been on the fence about balanced preamp tubes in any position, but especially in V6 The job of V6 (Phase Inverter) is to...

All of the DC preamp tube layouts are the same The circuits have slight variations but the DC-3 tube layout is identical to the 2

The clean channel could easily be a preamp tube Just because it passes a test doesn’t mean it’s a good sounding tube Modern tube testers are not all that great either I have the one that Orange used to make It’s ok, but not nearly as thorough as a tube tester from the 50’s, 60’s or 70’s I don’t...

I have been using Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover for about 15 years It brings old Tolex back to life and gets rid of grime. If the amp is just “Kind of dirty,” then I just use an old T-shirt and the Bug and Tar stuff If the amp is really bad, I use a car buffer with foam pads I have made a lot...

Hopefully, the more that this is shared, the less they will get away with it

Absolutely! I’d like to beat the **** out them I really don’t like thieves and scammers

It’s only $350, it’s not the end of the world It does piss me off, but it is what it is In the end, I just want people to know so that they don’t fall for the BS

I agree, usually I am more careful On an ironic note, I got this email a couple of days ago…… Mesa Boogie Amp Forum carriedi started a new conversation with you at Mesa Boogie Amp Forum. Heartbreaker head shell Hey, have you try asking S60HUB about the Heartbreaker head shell he has to...

I use F&F a lot, but I almost always make sure to talk with the seller over the phone. I didn't do that this time.......I was watching a movie with my wife instead......should have forced a phone call!

On February 4th, 2024 I got an email from this forum from a member named "Gurneybob." I was looking for a head cabinet for Heartbreaker amp. Gurneybob said that a friend of his, Gregor Eichholz had one for sale. I reached out the Gregor. He sent me pictures, we sent several emails back and...

Eq will work wonders in the loop You may want to convert the loop to series though, if you still can’t get the tone you’re looking for Another option is a darker sounding speaker I’m not familiar with the Warehouse Invader, so I don’t really know what tones are available with it You might try...
