I have no affiliation with any manufacturer, retailer, anybody. I own the gear in this video and I paid for it with my own cash. I post videos because I would find them interesting if somebody else posted them.
THANKS FOR WATCHING.

Aw man. Hope you can get that thing going again.
Thanks for watching! It'll all work out eventually... Could always be worse?! -Marty
Sorry to see you went through that kind of challenge! I have 2 2A-KTs and love them. One is upgraded with the BLA optocell. I hope you can find a way to make your situation work out.
Thanks for watching and the comment! It'll all work out eventually. I can't wait to get to working with A KT-2A though! Got projects happening and it's a bummer having to look at one but not use it! I'll get scouting for another here this week.

Your el84 tube is dead. You see all the white at the top of the tube. That means it lost its vacuum
Yep, Was indeed! Check the other video out where I got it replaced and was able to really compare the different opto's if you're into it!
Thanks for watching and commenting!

What's the deal with the naming schema of this unit? For example, I've noticed there's one selling on Sweetwater with "2A-KT" on the faceplate, but I've also seen other faceplates that say "KT-2A", which almost makes me think there might be knockoffs floating around. Has anyone been able to confirm these are both legit or maybe if there are some version differences ? Did Klark Teknik possibly upgrade the opto with a v2 version ??
Thanks for watching.
so, I have three... two of them say "2a-KT", the other says "KT-2A"... I've been inside of all three extensively. Based on all sorts of identical markings, for example where and how the paint oversprays... I would highly doubt any of these are knock offs.
I believe it was just early/later runs... maybe marketing felt like one or the other was more likely to spur purchase.
I'll do some further investigating myself ands see if I can find any reference to the name change. I actually think it was my Sweetwater Salesman who told me that.
I'll definitely check in when I find out some answers.
Thanks again for watching!

@@SHUTUPANDRECORD - Well, I do know the Chinese have been known to dupe or clone just about anything from tennis shoes to entire aircraft carriers or warships. Google "China's fake warships" and see for yourself. Point being, if the unit is manufactured in China and perhaps you doubt it could be a knockoff, I'd think again. Also from Google: "Where are Klark Teknik products made? - A dedicated team of UK engineers now forms the nucleus of a Midas and Klark Teknik presence at Music Tribe City, the company's manufacturing hub in Zhongshan, Guangdong (China) Province, which its 3,000 staff call home." - That being said, the engineers may be from the UK as well, but that doesn't mean they aren't Chinese based. As a matter of fact, Behringer bought both Klark Teknik and Midas in 2009 and all Behringer products have been manufactured in China for 25 years. That might tell you something and I'd even start by saying I think the opto cell you pulled out could even be a fake component. Hmmmm.. can't confirm it, but if it were me, I'd probably crack the plastic shell open to see, just for the hell of it. Might sound ridiculous, but you never know.
