    Castors

    I enjoy having hamstrings still attached to my body and a lower back that still works, so I do like casters. I like the mesa track lock system, kinda best of both worlds for those who like versatility.

    Question on SLO 5 stage mod?!?!?

    The 5 stage stuff I’ve tried all sucks, 3-4 is the sweet spot. Definitely try it but I think with an slo type circuit it’s gonna be way too much gain in all the wrong places. I would however recommend playing around with different values or cut out the cathode follower and do a 4 stage plate...

    How close is close enough when it comes to power tube matching?

    I had a set of EH EL34’s that were way out of spec, like 25% maybe more mismatch. Second best sounding set of tubes I ever had. If they’re going in an amp with irreplaceable transformers I look for a 3(ish) Ma variance. If it’s a clone or something I can get trannies for I like some degree of...

    Best modder at the moment???

    Hermasson because they don’t sound like a Jose and he doesn't steal shit. In all honesty though it’s whatever you like. In terms of versatility of options I’d have to give it to red plated.

    Fixing shit. What do you hate the most?

    Plumbing in general. Your either dealing with shit or constantly wet. If you fuck up it’s going to cost thousands to repair. Plus you always seem to have your neck craned at some weird angle for hours at a time. Il do everything that dosent involve shit. Outside of that I’ll do everything else...

    Most overrated amp ever... pick 1!

    EVH 5150, I’ve played probably 3 of them at guitar store volumes. Everyone of them sounded horrific, worse than a boogie mark with no graphic EQ. Probably should buy one though.

    Leave it or fill it?

    Leave it, it shows your not a tan pant wall art / obsessed with resale value guy. Real wear is cool and shows you’ve dedicated time to playing.

    What is your bug out plan?

    Late to the party but the plan is to grow existing relationships with neighbors. Most have livestock, chickens, ect and are on a similar page. Existing food and water stores are covered for 3+ months, from there it would be a lotta eggs and well water. Immediate plan of attack would get every...

    Genalex Gold Lion KT-77 Quad

    Genalex Gold Lion KT-77 Quad. They have roughly 3hrs of time on them with about 1hr of that being burn in to check for bias drift. I just don’t like them in my JMP. No issues with matching. Yours for $205 delivered in the continental US.

    Preparing amp for long-term storage?

    They’re fine as is. Only thing I might do is tape over the jacks or any holes to keep dust/ creatures out. If it’s in an enclosed container maybe some desiccant packs

    THD Hotplate question re Wattage reduction

    I believe they cut wattage in half every click. So it would be 0=100w -4=50w -8=25w -12=12.5w -16=6.25-0w. Just remember most that Marshall cranked puts out about 180watts, so doubble the above wattage numbers if it’s cranked.

    Who is the unofficial amp manufacturer of Rig Talk?

    Given this is mostly forum leans heavy towards 80’s and 90’s metal. I’d say Marshall and mesa boogie. If you collected the numbers I bet the most prolific amp here is nmv and mv Marshall’s, probably modded by 3-4 various builders here. Followed closely by mark 2/3/4’s, maybe dual rectos.

    Did my Marshall BV cab just blow ?

    Probably a connection at or near the jack. Do you have a 9v? If so you can touch that to the cable to get cone movement.

    Finished my first build this week

    Sounds like you might have nicked it, that stuff is really hard to strip correctly. I’d almost recommend peeling it vs using wire cutters. You should only need a grid resistor on the first stage.

    Finished my first build this week

    Two things on the coax. Make sure you didn’t cut through that clear insulator. Also if you haven’t, move that 68k grid to the tube socket.

    Seeking recommendations

    Like others have said depends on the audience and what you think is easy. My top choice would be shimmering highs by John norum but I don’t think that’s super easy to learn. March of the crabs is pretty easy and sounds cool. Maybe switch 625?
