These guys are the retail front for one of the major wholesale US tube distributors https://www.amplifiedparts.com/search/node/shuguang

They built a new factory and most certainly are producing tubes again. I knew Dave Friedman was getting samples of the new tubes so checked in with him and he said they sound as good as the old ones. They're starting to show up again through distributors, I've got 4 of the new 12AX7s here but...

They were previously Shuguangs built to spec, probably what they are again since Shuguang is back in production and shipping tubes finally.

Wonder if they're the new Shuguangs since they're back now...

Seems like the key factor in your pickups is your ear in voicing them. If you can produce a pickup that sounds the same with Asian parts vs charging twice as much it sort of becomes a marketing question. Do you want to try to compete with BKP etc etc at that kind of price point or do you want...

I haven't traced the circuit yet so I'll take your word for it, but I am loving the amp.

That was hilarious with Shea trying to be coy and Dave literally guessing the circuit layouts and Shea confirming them. There is really nothing new going on in this kind of circuit. I will say the SK is a great sounding amp, I've got one of the new ones

I got one call from MF that I didn't pick up and one email. I responded to the email not to call me and contact me by email and that I would get in touch if I needed something. No more contacts. Pretty much the same thing with Sweetwater. My rep will email me occasionally to ask if I'm looking...

In since it's for a good cause. Very cool of you guys to do this.

It's another Wizard... apparently the Metal wasn't metal enough so he needed to try harder for something that screams EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME while chugging Red Bull

Unless it changed Valvestorm gets his headshells from https://guitarcabinetsdirect.com/ as that was how I started using them. Asked Valvestorm about a custom cab and he just pointed me at them instead of ordering it from them for me. I've got a bunch of their headshells here and they're great...

I find it absolutely hilarious that Tate is suddenly playing tunes he's said repeatedly he hates. That first clip isn't bad but man that second one... I get he's older etc but having seen him live repeatedly in his prime this is still just painful.

There is no import duty on amps from Germany, I've bought 2 from them in the last 12 months.

I want to say I was measuring 490 or 496 rectified on the MAV power transformer, but will follow up once I measure it again as I don't recall for sure.

Now I'm curious and I should be opening one up in the next couple days, what's the branding on the PT for the Malta vs new one in the HW? I know it's not a Dagnall.

I can verify from 2 sitting here that that is not true for the 1959HW... IIRC Jeremy from Ground Zero has also had multiple 1959HWs with no issues. The voltages are fine for the model and no hum. Seems like the JCM800x are the ones with that issue based on the two Jason had. I'm also noticing...

This basically cuts the gouging the US distributor has been doing for years... the 1959HW is ~$2k in Europe.

Hell yeah, glad to see you back at it again!
