BAD - Blown Amp Day

[noodleplugerine]

This happened to my friend once, he took it to a tech who said he should buy an avenger, did the trick, sounds fine now.

It was sounding pretty good last night so will hold off on buying another amp...for now
i was quite surprised with some of the techs comments, when he was asking about the amp i told him it was some old russian made thing and he said theyre probably just made in china, i told him that i dont really think too many companies lie about things being made in russia to seem higher quality, that would only happen for vodka.

if its a RedBear amp, then those were most certainly made in Russia by Sovtek (if I remember rightly).

those 6n2p's are still available and cheap too, though I can see why someone would want to rewire the sockets for ECC83s just for ease of sourcing parts (and playing around with various valves to tweak the tone).

never used those 6n2p's, but some of those old Russian valves are very nice quality (especially the EL84 types).
