This is a video tribute to my Redbear MKE 120. Basically instead of power tubes it houses grizzly bear testicles and converts the semen into raw, creamy guitar tone.
I just bought the mk 60, it's just astonishing: first, how it's built, then, how it sounds! I did the preamp mod on the first 2 sockets to install 12ax7 there, it improves the tone a lot in my opinion: there was a harshness in the 6n2p that I didn't like. The power tubes are still the original 6p3s-e, that are said to be like 6l6. What modification did you do to your amp to put 6l6 there? I wanna put 6l6gc there. Thanx!
Good stuff. When you modded the vacuum tubes, did you have to rewire the #9 pin that was going to Shield on the 6N2p russian tubes to go to the 6.3V heater? If so, did you just have to tie in the #9 pin to pins 4 & 5?
Thanks for making this video..
I've got an MK 120, all stock with upper cab and 8 new OTK preamp tubes.
Best description.
tone is wonderfully massive
i boght mine new with a 2 12 cab. i had amps while owning this one. i will never get rid of her.
Dude...The low end is amazing...
I hear zero chugging
The schematic to this amp is so similar to the Marshall JCM 800. I have the Redbear Lead Tube Amplifier MK 120

You really should turn mic compression off when you record these
Great amp though
