Here's a quick clip of me jamming over a backing track I made last weekend. If you've got the bandwidth, up the quality to 720p, I think it helps the sound. Thanks for looking!

I suppose anything is possible though, and I look forward to hearing your results when your tubes come in. Thanks again for the info, you've got me thinking Im ready to do a tube swap!!!

gadgetfreak said:I buy nos all the time but it's a gamble and should be stated that you could be shelling out good money for a tube that may well go microphonic or worse very quickly. You have to have a good source for nos, to many people use them and say they are new but there not and put them in new boxes. Find a good source if you go down that road, I personally didn't hear enough difference in this Mesa to justify the cost difference from new production tubes.
