The brake and residual dust

Of course I jumped on what seemed to be the last 16ohm THD I could find in hyperspace, and I must admit, it was a pleasure to finally see and feel those output valves glowing. I ran it through the various DB levels, and found that it managed the HDR quite well without any added noise and the tone was sill intact in LDR. Afterward, I dropped it to zero DB and ran my modded TS-808. it actually sounded better, I suspect due to the nicely warmed output tubes. However, from a purist point of view, I guess I could take it or leave it. I have to ride it a few more miles before I decide to give it the STEELHORSE treatment! Ha! Oh yeah, I didn't mismatch the Ohm's of the head. or the cab. Fatal mistake. Also, no need to dime the master, 6 was plenty coo, so all is well in the land of the VM and its short affair with the THD. Stay tuned.
