  1. Myles, I remember reading in one of my Guitar mags some time back about a tube that could be used to lower your amps output to 1 watt. I have a pro jr. and would be interested in getting a set of these if they do exist. Do you have any information about these? Thanks in advance, Zig
  2. I am looking for a low wattage amplifier that produces that classic marshall sound. I just spent some time listening to Dr. Z and Carr amps and although these amps sound great, it's not what I'm looking for. Maybe you can give me some advice. Thank you very much for the info that you provide.
  3. Myles, This is the third question I've posted here and let me first say thanks for the assistance you've provided. I have a question concerning setting up a pre-amp stage. I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway. I have a Pro-Jr. which as you know only has a tone and volume knob. Is it possible to take the output of another tube amp and plug it into the input of my Pro-Jr. in order to set up a pre-amp stage? I'm thinking that the output of another amp is probably the wrong type of signal and would damage my Jr., but I wanted to check because it would be nice to get some tube distortion at a low volume if possible. Thanks in advance, Ziggy
  4. Ziggy, Change those tubes![/QB] Thanks, Myles. Right to the point. I like that. Two questions; Is it sufficient to replace the output tubes (the 6L6's) or do I need to change the others also? Secondly, as you know the RCA black plates are a bit pricey. Can you suggest any 6L6's that sound comparable at a lower price? Thanks
  5. Myles, I am using an old Knight phono amplifier to run my archtop through. I had the input modified to accomodate a 1/4" jack and the output wired for 8 ohms. It has two RCA black plate 6L6 output tubes. I began using this amp about a year ago and it has always had a very nice clean tone. (I use it with mainly wit my Guild X150.) However, volume wise, I could turn it up to 10 and I'd guess it wasn't putting out over 2 or 3 watts, even though it says 20 watts. In addition, it never clipped at full volume, but I guess that's by design. Lately, the volume has dropped to about half of what I was originally getting. For a while it would get back up to its 2 or 3 watts after warming up for 30 minutes or so, but not any longer. My question is does this sound like a tube issue, i.e., is a loss of volume associated with tubes going bad? Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance.
