  1. The Mesa Boogie F-30 is also a great 30-watt EL84 tube amp. It's what I use and I love it!
  2. I figured that you would . Thanks for the info. Is there a good outlet to purchase these tubes? Thanks again! -Dylan
  3. Hey Miles, I recently picked up a Mesa Boogie F-30, which I'm loving. This amp seems to be very well built and I really like the sound, but Ive heard of people improving the amp drastically with different tubes. Can you recommend any replacement tubes and where I could purchase them? I believe this amp comes stock with 2xEL84s and 4x12AX7s. For more info on this amp you can visit: http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/F-Series/F-30/F-30.html. Thanks, Dylan
  4. I just purchased a Crate VC2110 tube amp for $157.00 on e-bay. I guess this amp is Class A, 15 watts, has a single 10 inch speaker, and has 2 EL84 and 2 12AX7 tubes. I am not expecting any 'holy grail' tone but I figured it would be a welcome addition to my amp collection. It will certainly be nice to around for when my Fender Evil Twin is too much. Myles, can you recommend a good tube upgrade for this amp? Also, I plan on adding some type of extension cabinet in the future provided that I like the tone of the amp. Thanks! -Dylan
  5. Thanks a ton for the info, Miles. I'll see what I can do from here. -Dylan
  6. I recently purchased a used "evil" Twin amp on e-Bay and I think something is definitely wrong with it. This is the model with a 25/100 watt selectable power. In audio engineering terms I would say that the amp sounds like it has a phase problem, as the sound is not as directional as it should be, and there is literally *no* low end response. I compared this to my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and Tech 21 Trademark 10 amps and both sound much better than the Twin. The Twin should be much louder and have a much bigger and beefier sound, but it doesn't, The second channel is a total joke, it sounds like a tin machine. I looked at all of the tubes (Groove Tubes I think) and from what I can tell they look OK, but I don't really know enough about tubes to tell for sure. Do you have any idea to what might be wrong? Also, the power wattage switch doesn't seem to do anything, which strikes me as *very* odd. I e-mailed the seller this morning so hopefully he'll have some ideas for me.
  7. Yo Miles! I just started this new thread and would appreciate if you could check it out. It's regarding my recently purchased used Fender Twin that isn't working right. Thanks in advance! -Dylan
  8. Hey Miles....I just ordered a new set of pickups for my 90's Japanese Custom Tele. I haven't ever installed my own pickups before and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have no problem paying a pro if need be, but if it's something easy I'd rather do it myself. The pickups are a Fender Custom Shop NOS and a Texas Special.
