If I remember correctly. These have been built with a few different tubes from the factory, depending on the manufacturing date. The boards in mine are all stamped 2018, and it has JJ brand tubes. I've heard there was numerous revisions to them, in an effort to keep the noise floor down. Especially in the fx loop. I'd like to do some mods to mine. Like a 50watt output transformer, and linear taper master volume pot. That would really unleash the full potential of this bad boy.
Yes correct. My one came with JJs in the preamp, a Psvane in the phaser inverter position and TAD 6L6GCM-STR in the power section. Sounds totally sublime with those tubes! My amp developed a problem and was replaced with an amp with 5881 tubes in the power section. It didn’t have the same vibe. Kinda lost its teeth. So I ordered a pair of the TAD tubes, put them in, biased and hey presto, the MAGIC is back! Love this amp! Have an awesome day!
Love mine. I'm letting my nephew borrow it at the moment because he's just starting to learn electric guitar and I wanted him to have something that sounded metal without needing a boost. I've considered getting a second one because I do miss it.
Awesome Gabe! They are great amps aren't they? If I ever get another I'll get the one with 5881 tubes in the power section. Slightly different tone from those tubes. Have an awesome day!
Thanks man! Very kind of you! Glad you’re enjoying the tunes! You should check out my album ‘Circle of Fire’ if you like these compositions. I think you’d LOVE that album! Have an awesome day!
@@jayguitarhey man, I am good thank you. How are you doing? Got to love the gain. I seem to be on a real amp hunt lately - it's a blessing and a curse isn't it 😂
I'm doing great man! Busy like crazy but its all good as music is always inspiring to work on 😊 Ha! Yes, the eternal hunt for tone and gain! I know the feeling brother!
I own this also, is ace, I gigged it with the stock tubes could only use a quarter of the gain though lol, I'm not sure anything is as good in the price range.
Very cool! I hear you about the gain level. Funny thing - I finished up the first solo that I did and then went over to the amp and the gain was at 1/3rd! I usually have it floating around 2/3rds up. Great little amp for sure. Have an awesome day!
Hey dude, I imagine they must have because my amp is pretty quiet when running full tilt. There is of course a little hiss when turned up full, but in the scheme of high gain amps I have experienced, it is actually less then I would expect at this high gain level. Hope that helps. Have an awesome day!
i REALLY wanna get this amp but im just worried i wont be able to play it in the house cause everyone carries on about how loud it is, some advice please? Could i maybe muffle the loudness with a blanket?😂😂😂😂😂
Hey dude! that’s a really really good point! it is ridiculously loud when it is turned up! But I think one of this amps super-powers is that the master volume works really well and you can get all of the fire and brimstone going at low volumes. Of course, it sounds even more glorious when it is shaking the windows but I have played it with my friends at jam sessions at low volumes without any issue. Hope that helps. Have an awesome day!
@@jayguitar 😂😂😂😂I bought it 4 days ago, fuk it, it sounds amazing, i also bought a celestion v type (not a fan of the V30 sound) gonna build my cab next week Tuesday, very excited, looking at ideas for my grill cloth but so far iron maiden wins
Totally hear you man! Its crazy loud this amp! Thankfully the master vol works well to retain the gain but bring the overall volume down (somewhat). Have an awesome day!
Thanks man! Good Q! No pun itended 😉 Ha! I had themed it with the whole Bond thing because of the vibe of the track.... then renamed the video a week later! lol! Anyways, I appreciate you checking it out. Have an awesome day!

@jayguitar it really is a good amp, I need to use it more been using modelers lately, naughty lol
@@si-borg_guitars Ah modellers! Very addictive - but tube amps always make me smile more 😃 🤘
Did they address the lead channel noise issue?🤘

Excellent man! glad you’re digging it! it is an awesome amp! 😊 Have fun playing it!
Jay, do you play in any bands currently?
No I don't 😊 🙏 Have an awesome day!
License to thrill......🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sorry 🙏🏼. Very good amp, without a doubt
😜 😂 Glad you enjoyed it Jordi! Have an awesome day!
👍
Killer Beard Bro. Oooooooooo Raaaaaaaaaaa
Thanks! I appreciate it 😊 🙏 Have an awesome day!
🤘😎🤘
Great amp. Loud as hell. 15 watts my ass. Lol
My sentiments exactly! It is loud! Have an awesome day!
It actually is a 50w amp with a 25w output transformer. It should be called MT25.
I had one and it was cool but as a bedroom guitarist it was too loud
Totally hear you man! Its crazy loud this amp! Thankfully the master vol works well to retain the gain but bring the overall volume down (somewhat). Have an awesome day!
Never to loud.😂. I use a 5150 stealth 50 watt with 2/12. I use every day in the bedroom. I agree. They are freaking loud. Especially tube amps.
Great playing, and great tones, but what in the absolute hell with all the goddamn James Bond references and fixation?!
Thanks man! Good Q! No pun itended 😉 Ha! I had themed it with the whole Bond thing because of the vibe of the track.... then renamed the video a week later! lol! Anyways, I appreciate you checking it out. Have an awesome day!
@jayguitar Nice! Nice! Lol. Ok, now it makes sense. Good stuff. And thanks man! Same to you!
