Hi Tom!
Glad you are back.
I had a stroke in 2015.
I hope the road back is easy for you.
If you need anything, please just let us know.

Re: McIntyre Bluesbreaker
I built that Blackface Bassman mod in '94, I think. '95 maybe... It came out in Guitar player magazine, and Bassman amps were really cheap then, $50 to $100 probably, which made for a great test bed. I no longer have it, and I didn't have the ability to record everything back then... It sounded good...

Re: Mortality - Some Thoughts
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Re: Synopsis of Adjustable Fixed-Bias Measuring Methods, Bias Tools
Thanks gktamps.
I didn't remember if I had to double the negative voltage, halve it, or take it as it was listed for each tube.
I appreciate the response.

Re: Synopsis of Adjustable Fixed-Bias Measuring Methods, Bias Tools
Hi gktamps! Thanks for the table. I'd like to ask a question. First, I have a BlueMonkey 88 reverb amp from Brown Note. I've always taken it to the best tech I know in my area ( IMHO ), Willie Whitaker, otherwise known as Lord Valve. Sadly, he passed away a few months ago. I need to know how to bias...

Pearl Harbor Day, 2021
Not much talk of this one any more.
Some would have us forget it altogether.
December 7, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
Indeed.

Phil,
I did not mean to insult your intelligence.
I'm sorry you took it that way.
Puppies?

Re: brexit has really messed up UK amp builders- now with puppy photos
Phil, your heart may be in the right place, but IMHO, your head is not. Please look at what a mess unrestricted immigration / invasion by those who do not want to integrate has made of Europe. The Visigoths are at our door and our politicians are gleefully expediting our downfall. Perhaps we should ...

ph204 diodes?
I've got a yba-1 with a physically split PH204 diode.
I've not been able to source one, but the net says 1N4007 is an equivalent.
I'd prefer to find an real PH204.
If I have to go the 4007 route, should I replace all 4 PH204's?
