$600?.. wow does it come with a free probe?..

seems like a good price if what he says is true..

[Pathein.Raindrop.Moe]

If its come with the wooden enclosures as in a real amphead, it shud be cool.

Heh, i was so interested in building my own amp 2 years back, i printed all the infos from www.ax84.com. Lotsa DIY amp infos in there

last year when justin from The Suns came back...we talked about building our own amps also...download the schematics and buy the parts. but wood for interesting sound we wanted to use cheap wood like dark red meranti or jelutong. coconut tree timber should be interesting...every few weeks will peel off...got different sound every few months

actually are EL84s and 6N1Ps interchangable on any amp?

[Pathein.Raindrop.Moe]

it should be changeable, but the biasing most likely has to change also, unless its those self biasing amp.

Just my guess, best to consult amp tech.

Heh, becareful of changing the tubes thou, even if interchangeable. I blown component in my univalve when just got it after cranking it with a kt88 instead of the usual el34. Bang ballz big time ;D

[guest again]

eh shouldn't it be able to use the kt88? hah i read on hc that when some dude used the 6N1P with his hi-octane it sounded like a marshall stack.. (not that i really believe it but each tube is like $7.50USD each so even if it sucks, won't suck so hard la.) but since the output is lowered, cranked should be more sweet (i hope la). thinking of using it with a small amp, Laney LC15R, that has like 4 year old worn tubes. where and how to bias ah? and is changing tube that hard?

[Metal Zoner]

good luck man.. a lot of stuff u read in the forums about amps.. may not be true.. live and learn.

[Pathein.Raindrop.Moe]

heh, although the kt88 is interchangeable on the THD, when i blown it, was suspecting to the HI v setting. But in the end, it was brought back to life locally. If not, i can kill myself with the kt88 over and over again ;D

bout the biasing, only to the power tube. Preamp tube need not.

for a start, info can be found here

Biasing is necessary to get the best out of the utilization of the power tubes. Heh, but i did change the el84 tubes in my carvin amp without re biasing. This could be damaging in long run, but i just have to take responsionsibility for my stupidity...

As for changing, its just plug in and out.

Local amp tech, not too sure...
