    Fractal FX8 (possible ground loop ?)

    UPDATE: I fixed the issue with the (older) ebtech hum eliminator. Got one used off of eBay for $75CDN shipped to me. Plugged the cables coming from the FX8 that go to the amp's effects loop Send/Return into the INs of the EBtech and then the OUTs go to the send/Return jacks. All non-high...

    New Tungsol 12ax7s sound great

    I like them my self. They have a smoother gain overall tone. Plenty of gain. Definitely no where as dark is the JJ ECC83S or whatever their standard 12ax7 tube is. They seem to add a bit more mid/high-mid, which helps cut through even more. For the price, you can't go wrong grabbing 1 or 2...

    New Tungsol 12ax7s sound great

    I had them in my Nitro. They were high gain, and bright... But I felt they had this high end scratch to them I couldn't get rid of unless I turned down the presence control to almost it looses it's brightness. I also found the gain on it to be not as smooth, had a lot of aggression to it, which...

    Live rig: amp vs digital

    The "something happen to the tubes in a gig" is the main reason why I am considering going with an Amp1 Mercury.

    Live rig: amp vs digital

    Right now have a tube head (Splawn Nitro) with an FX8 for channel switching, boost, effects. Take either a 412 or 212 to gigs depending on the stage size. Looking to down size the tube head to maybe a BluGuitars Amp1 Mercury. Cheers

    20' cable recommendations

    If you can solder, buy your own "bulk" cable and connectors and make your own cables. Mogami 2524 and Square plugs Good luck

    Boosting amps is fun AF

    Jason.. sounds awesome as always. The Ibanez Super Tube STL sounded more natural and a bit warmer to my ears, especially with the Marshall.

    Noise Gate recommendations

    I had the OG Zuul and really liked it, but then I found the Guptech Gul (renamed to Sun) and ended up selling my Zuul.

    Fractal FX8 (possible ground loop ?)

    Anyone else with any input/thoughts ? I reset system parameters as per finding on fractal forum, but didn't seem to make a difference. I have humbuster cables built with the TRS end plugging into the Fractal and TS end plugging into the amp. From further troubleshooting, if I plug the...

    Fractal FX8 (possible ground loop ?)

    Hey everyone, So I noticed recently my FX8 started to cause what appears to be a ground loop from the output of the FX8 to the Input of the amp. Couple of troubleshooting steps I did: Noise is there even if I bypass the FX8. Noise goes away if I plug directly into the amp even if the fractal...

    New Ruby EL34BSTR/BW... Anyone using them ?

    According to Doug at Doug's tubes, the Ruby EL34BSTR is Infact back in production. Be interesting to hear and see the quality if it's the same as before.

    New Ruby EL34BSTR/BW... Anyone using them ?

    Anyone using it tried the latest version of the Ruby EL34BSTR/BW? I bought them years ago and really liked the way they sounded. When I got back into playing music, they were no longer made. But I recently looked again and looks like they're made again. Thoughts?
