Dude your fucking name is DeathRape2001 so shut the fuck up.
What an idiot – like it needs 2 cost more than $10 4 a fuking piece of wire? Price & quality R 2 different things. This guy is just farting nonsense 2 pretend he has valuable input = lame.
You can use something called a variac to guarantee 120VAC is going to your amp, regardless of the quality of the AC in the club you are playing.
oh my god stop talking!!
WHATS BETTER? Line 6 spider IV 15 or Marshall MG15?
17 people don’t have amps
Is the Isotek Premium or Elite power cord as good as the grant fidelity shown in this video? Because I can’t find grant fidelity in Hungary.
how much does a single tube cost,aproxx(lets say for a marshal valve amp)?
Great video BUUT…. I’ll buy that the power in clubs varies and will definitely affect the amp and tone. 16 guage? 16 is SMALLER than 14 which is standard for any 15 amp 110v circuit. 12 guage would be more appropriate BUT the difference on a 6 foot power cord will not make any difference at all. The RF filter, yeah, if it works, will definitely make a difference.
I am gonna buy a Fender deluxe vm120 v combo, does anyone have experience with it???
I have a16 gauge hospital grade power cord for My dual rectifier Mesa,it made all the difference in the world …good advice Dave
Take it from a professional electrician/electronic engineer with 25 years experience, so called ”audiophile” cables are a rip off. I just found a 10 amp ”kettle lead” IEC C13 cable for £8 ($13USD) that is more than enough for ANY guitar amp. A US equivalent will have to be 18 to 20 Amps for the USA 120 Volt supply but each of them can supply over 2000 Watts of power which over 6 times what a 100W guitar amp needs even if it’s class A.

Hey there. I just need some basic information. I’m looking for a tube amp that can play me anything from led zeppelin-metallica-trivium. I’m somewhat on a budget. Any suggestions?
@mmim4 If you have any concerns or questions, head to diyaudio.com and create an account. Post your question in the Tubes/ Valves. The people there are very nice, and they really helped me on my tube endeavors.
@mmim4 Yes, you can use different tube brands, as long as each tube is the correct model. Don’t put in an EL34 is your amp uses 6L6’s. I have a 39 year old Garnet amp, which I bought about a month ago. It still had the original tubes left in it. I changed the power tubes, which increased the sound quality, but I’m still using the 40 year old preamp tubes, because it is very rare for a preamp tube to die.
@93FordMustang93 open it up and dust it out.
Dave, i have a question. i play through a vox vt100, and want to upgrade to a tube amp. im willing to pay up for a good amp ill have a while, any suggestions, if i say i play jam band music?
i have a question. i have a tube amp thats been sitting in my basement for some time. when i turned it on, i put it in standby mode to let the tubes warm up. but it began to smell like something was burning and im afraid becuz it seemed like it was about to catch fire just by the smell. is this normal? how can i do an easy check to make sure its nothing serious and this is just how an amp warms up.
I have a very important question! I just bought a tube amp last year (Jet City 100h) and a cabinet (Some $250 Marshall). I’ve had my half stack hooked up to the same place for a year now and when I turn it on it makes a low humming noise. I’ve tried unhooking my guitar to the amp, but it still makes the sound. What is weird is it sometimes won’t make the sound, but then out of nowhere it’ll start making it and then it’ll start again etc. Is this the tubes in my amp or the speaker cabinet?
Well I´m new to tube amps, I´ve been playing for 6 years now but have always used crappy solid state amps, including the crappiest Marshall MG100HDFX. The few times I´ve played with Tubes… orgasmic. I´d like to know about good tube amps that are out there but that are not as expensive as a Mesa, for example, but with enough power for medium-sized gigs.
is it ok the have different tube brands in an amp? preamp and power tube..
gorgeous guitar.
What guitar is that???
you don’t even need that guitar and you don’t use it
you just love to have it in your hands
same here buddy
how often should i change the tube of the amps
