Thanks!

So by seams you mean this:

Testing data is not my primary concern. Luckily I invested in a tube tester so I can do the check by myself. Checked tubes usually cost twice as much and I try to avoid them. Of course, final checking always goes by plugging it in the amp, but at least I get an idea about the lifespan of the tube

Thanks, so in the end it’s still the etching. I thought there are maybe other construction signs to look after.

It‘s from an Ebay auction. Some Mullards were relabeled as Valvo tubes back then afaik. I am always looking for Mullards as my Marshalls love them. But prices are insane. Sometimes I‘m able to hunt them down by the Blackburn codes. But I would like to know if there are other signs to look at.

Here you go guys

Hi, I realize that there are some guys here that have a much better eye the me when identifying old tubes. So my question is, is there a way to identify a Mullard 12ax7 tubes if the Blackburn code (or any code) is not visible anymore? What do you look at? Shape of the glass? Shape of the mica...

Some people think that the powersection at for the synergy rack poweramp is the „weak“ part in the system. Don’t know, if that’s the case with the heads or if it’s true at all. You could always pair the syn2 with the poweramp of choice

Hey guys, just in case, sadly this is not my amp nor my demo of it. I am already getting offers on it ;)

Non of the traditional work, but I once did remove the goop from a 4x12 for a retolex. What a shit job. I still have another 4x12 I am palning to do. Sanding in general. It`s ok doing it with a sander but it sucks by hand. It all gets dusty and after a longer session, my lung usualy hurts. I...

I guess it`s because earlier Rectos, especially the RevC, resemble more or less the SLO100 in the preamp. It`s the poweramp that differes. That`s probably why people always make the SLO comparison.

Nice vid! What’s the signal chain for the amps?

Rectos were the last amps that were able to define the tone of a decade, the 90ies and 2000s. It`s like the JCM 800 in the 80ies and the Plexi in the 70ies. People that grew up with this 90ies tones are getting older now and have the money to spend on a good sounding Recto, unlike when they were...

First video YT give me about the new module

I was thinking of it briefly, but I liked the sound of the cab the way it is and didn`t want to change anything. What can someone expect when changing the back plate from MDF to ply?

Removing the glue was acutally the hardest part of the job. Tolexing still took some time, but at least you were seeing progress which kept you going!

Lets see. I def. needs some aging now :ROFLMAO: Yes, the logo is still missing. They cost quite a bit for a little piece of plastic, but the cab looks kind of naked without

Some more

I decided to go through the whole hassle of retolexing my so far favorite Marshall 4x12. It`s a late 70ies cab with G12-65 speakers. The tolex had tears and stains and there was a hole in the fornt grill cloth. And of course, the cab came without the Marshall logo and casters. Getting rid of all...
