I've read many articles saying tubescreamers and humbuckers don't go well together. However, some players say that their tubescreamer sounds great with their humbucking equipped guitar. What do you think? Why the varied responses?

Eddie from Eurotubes had some good advice. I'll post his response here for everyone who uses this configuration. Hi Mark, The tweed setting does indeed drop the plate voltage. We haven't had chance to measure the plate voltage with a set of 6V6's running in bold mode but my guess would be...

I meant to say `is welcome to post advice".

I'm thinking of going back to using JJ 6V6's in my Mark 1 Reissue combo... Although the manual states that you should set the power switch to `Tweed' when doing this I've also read about how Mesa's bias is set cold and tubes should run hotter in order to gain the best performance. Anybody have...

Okay Boogie People, I need some advice from you... For the past few years I've been using a Celestion V30 (traded the original C90 for it) in my Mark 1 Reissue combo (amp set to 60 watts). Lately I've been thinking of restoring it back to it's former glory...that is install a higher wattage...

SRV used superglue to glue his nail(s) back to his fingers...not put glue on his fingertips. His fingernail(s) would partially lift from his finger and to temporarily solve the problem he would glue it back. Not medically approved but I guess it solved the problem.

The link that jackieTHEjokeman posted had a lot of good information but they sure hate The Tube Store. I've ordered tubes from The Tube Store many times and have always been very satified with their service and tube suggestions.
