Members Casey Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 everything seems ok. The only thing that broke was the black plastic protective covering found at the bottom center of the rectifier tube. A little black piece that juts out in the center of the pins. the pointy glass part is slightly exposed. Am i ok to play it like this until i can find a solid-state plug in (wanted to get one anyways)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sixtonoize Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 If the amp still works just as well as it did before, then the recto tube is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheEsupremacy Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 It's fine. Kill singer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BusterBuster Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Do you mean the key on the tube that makes sure you get it plugged into the socket correctly? If so, just be sure you get the tube in the socket correct and you should be OK. BTW, tell your singer to get a microphone and quit trying to sing through the speaker on your amp. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you must physically harm said singer nao! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Casey Posted November 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Fixed. Meant to say I DON'T want sag at all. unwanted compression is quite annoying. I'm not doubting, but i don't understand why it was ever desirable. Are the webers going to cause any sag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the webers going to cause any sag?Webers are made to emulate a tube rectifier so it sounds like they are not what you are looking for. FWIW, I sag. My favorite amps all have tube rectifiers.

Members Curtis.Fagan Posted November 9, 2009 Members Share Posted November 9, 2009 Sag is just a bit of phase that makes your amp sound rounder and more beefy. It can be had to great use with certain amp's... speed of attack is awesome too, but I like an amp that I can dial it in or out without getting ice picky or flubby... -Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside is SS components so I would say it would be the best you could do just replacing the tube. BTW ... That is a pretty cool amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Casey Posted November 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 lol what is gape? a2m=ass to mouth? lol as far as sag, I read a long time ago that it's when you require more power (Say hit a chord realllly hard or a boost in volume) and the tube rec has a hard time catching up, you get what sounds like a natural compression, and I really just want a typical diode plug or whatever it is i need for faster attack/response. @buster: I've got a clip floating around on teh yoot00bz somewhere demoing the gain-ier settings of the amp.
