Hi-Tone Versatility?

It's not the overpowering beast that others have, but this little "stack" is perhaps the ultimate in versatility!!! I can't say enough about the HT30/15 "JP" Combo amp. It's quite the amazing little beast and contains pretty much any tone you want!!! A special thanks to the good ...

Re: Show us your HI-TONE rig in action

The kid got invited to play with a local band in the beer tent at a family oriented summer fest Saturday night. Needless to say, the little combo amps on stage had some bumps and bruises afterwards as they were struggling to keep up with the Hiwatt and Dr. F loaded Hi-Tone Cab!!!

Re: Xmas Gift Ideas

Been getting into alot of Zepplin lately...but always plays alot of Clapton/Cream.....Bonamassa....Black Keys....White Stripes...and most everything in between....absolutely no interest in metal or anything close. Mos...

Re: 12AX7 Tube Test Readings

Round #1 of preamp tube testing yielded the following current tube arrangement: V1 - Brimar CV4004 V2 - Mullard 12AX7 V4/PI - Mullard CV4024 (quite a HUGE change going from any of the 12AX7 to this) V3 - JJ ECC83S The Mullard and Bugle Boy were very similar...not really a discernible difference in V...
