I tried a WGS VET30 & ET-65 in my 40CR & preferred the stock V-type by quite a bit. I replaced the 70/80 in my original 40C with a V-type as well.

I was 14 at the time, I'm 62 now & ear training is an ever developing skill. Tuners were really expensive back then & I am glad they were. . I do wish I would have learned to read music when I was younger.

I learned to tune with a pitch pipe. I tuned the G string from the pipe & tuned the rest off the G string. I tried to tune them all from the pipe & could never get it right(I was playing for about 3 months at the time.) When the piano guy came to service my mothers piano, he checked the pipe...

That was 1 of the issues I had with mine. The MV pot failed & red plated 2 of the tubes.

I use 1 of the JohnH attenuators set at -7db with my Helix & DSL40CR. This allows me to run the MV1 & MV2 at 5 or above & control the overall volume with my Helix volume knob. I am thrilled with this setup & IMO you do not need a Power Station

I had a '99 DSL401. The board needed the solder joints redone after about 6 months. I fixed it 6-7 times while I had it. A great deal on a DSL40C came up & the DSL401 went. I don't miss the 401 at all.

Don't sell those EI's short, I swapped the EI pre & power tubes out of my DSL401 & it was never the same.

This works like a champ with the Helix. Thanks

My DSL40CR was $799 IIRC. This shit is gonna push more beginner guitarists toward modeling.

IIRC, C74 is the DSL40CR version of C19. There is a place on the PCB, but it is not installed.

I have both the 40C(collecting dust at the moment )& the 40CR. I removed C19 from my 40C & immediately reconnected it. Too dull! I actually added a 330pf bright cap(C74 if IRCC) & definitely preferred the tone. I have rolled tubes in both amps & can hear no difference. Perhaps my 62yo ears...

I have done similar testing with my DSL40, 40CR & DSL1C & recall doing the same with my Studio 15 many years ago. I came to the same conclusion, I cannot hear any difference. I have had CP tubes that I did not like, but they most likely faulty tubes. I am considering selling off my old tubes...

I've had good luck with the TAD's in my DSL40C. I must have hit a bad batch of JJ's a couple years back. I went thru 2 sets in less than 6 months. They started to turn gray inside the glass & would arc ocassionally.

I watched Pete's video twice. Can anyone hear any difference between the the two?

I received the quad of GT's today. $25 a tube.

I like them as well.

I placed an order the other day & it was cancelled.

In the last few years, when going out to see local bands play, the vast majority of the younger guitar players I speak with have never played thru a tube amp. The older players are sick of lugging them around. Hell, Metallica uses the AXE FX live I believe.

Amazon. I ordered a quad of GT EL-34's on the same order & they have shipped. I don't know where these 2 brands are(were) actually made though. The GT's are now out of stock as well. I have a bad feeling that we are near the end for tubes. Electro Harmonix , etc. will analyze if the ROI of...
