Members MattACaster Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Does GC carry any tubes at their stores that don't suck? My TS100 was acting really weird last night. Feedback/squealing and stuff like that. Thinking it might be the tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Only ones Ive seen them have were groove tubes, and they were priced way too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 The one close to me carries GT and Sovtek and they're overpriced. But if you have a gig coming up soon and can't wait for online delivery, it's a solution. Otherwise, buy online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm... their online prices seem fairly inline with other places. If they are more expensive in the store they should price match. I just don't know what is good and what sucks...

Yeah and if you have an issue you can just go back and they will exchange it on the spot. Definitely buy local if you have a busy gig schedule. I'm using a local vendor now, it just makes things way easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MattACaster Posted June 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 Surely Chicago has a decent mom and pop with tubes? Nowhere that I know of. Lots of places with high end amps... not so much tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
