guess I'm missing what the tell tale signs of fakeness are, can someone enlighten me?
The most obvious to my untrained eye is the fretboard. No way that's ebony. Looks like rosewood.
I go to ebay....sanborn for tubes. I get the best deals especially on SED tubes! Great service as well. I believe he builds Sanborn amps
Got a link bro?
The Sino EL34B that Tube Depot sells, is that the same as the Ruby EL34BSTR?
And their Sino 12AX7A, is that the same as the 9th Gen Chinese pre tubes?
I'd like to give Tube Depot a go but they don't seem to have my favorite go-to tubes.
That's what I originally bought it for, but its quickly become a nice grab and go combo for practices and smaller gigs.
The 40-watt one is looking mighty tempting right about now
