  1. Thanks, Myles. I have GT Mullard clones in V1 and V2 right now. I put them in there hoping they would fix my issue, but to no avail -- the 'compression' seems just as bad as before.
  2. Hey Myles, I've got a Rivera Knucklehead Reverb and a question. I'm not sure if you're familiar with this specific head, but it's a 3 channel with 4x EL34s and the following preamp tube layout (from Richard's Rivera Amplifier Page: V1 - First Gain Stage V2 - Second Gain Stage for British & High Gain Channel V3 - Final Gain Stage for American & British Channel, Third Gain Stage for High Gain Channel V4 - Final Gain Stage for High Gain Channel, Effects Loop, & Reverb V5 - Phase Inverter Now for the question/problem: The second ("British") channel is seriously compressed sounding -- to the point that tapping on the body or bridge is almost the same volume as hitting an open chord. Any suggestions? Thanks!
  3. Hey Miles, I'm looking for a recommendation for replacement power & preamp tubes for my Mesa/Boogie Bass 400 (not the + model & it's bias is fixed). I'm looking for a very big, full bottom end with smooth mids & highs and as much clean headroom as I can get. I'm definitely not a fan of the harsh, metallic sound that many of today's bassists are so fond of. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -DC Ross
