I threw that GE 12BZ7 (I think it's a '52 vintage) into my amp with a couple of tube dampers on it... Boy... I forgot how great that tube sound in V2! Sustain and harmonics for days. I jut need to play a wee bit less sloppy .



With the dampers and normal playing I'll see how that tube holds up. If it becomes a rattler then I guess we'll know for sure that it just can't survive life it a high gain combo.

Anyhoo... I have a box of tubes headed your way, and as soon as I have a few extra $$$, I'd like to buy a few tubes off you that are in the ICBM type category, and locate a few current production tubes of different makes and do some comparisons.

Great posts! Take care guys, talk at ya later!

He pretty much lost me with the tongue thing right off the bat though to be honest.
