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...
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...
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...
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.

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...
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...
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.
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?
