tube

Gary Smith called me yesterday to say that he purchased some 7189 tubes as drop-in replacements for the stock EL84 tubes and he loves the results and recommends it to any Blues Jr owners out there to give it a try. He purchased a matched pair for $66 at TheTubeStore.com http://www.thetubestore.com/Tubes/EL84-6BQ5-Tube-Types/Preferred-Series-...

I often get asked where to purchase replacement tubes for an amp. Here you go: https://tubedepot.com

In this installment of the Masco Chronicles I interview the innovator of P.A. head restoration and customization for blues harmonica, Skip Simmons.

You're probably watching the footage that we recorded yesterday at Skip Simmons' place right now. Many times throughout the day we talked about an amp being more or less distorted. Your simple, but important, tip today is to match opposites. An amp that you feel is too distorted should be matched with a mic that you feel isn't distorted enough, and vice-verse. Don't disregard gear that's "too" this or that... there's a match out there for it.

Join Mark Overman and myself as we present a series covering the usage of vintage P.A. heads for amplified blues harmonica playing. Our series starts with a visit to the innovator of P.A. head customization, Skip Simmons. In this installment Mark and Skip take us on a tour of Skip's vast warehouse of vintage gear. Our next installment will include an interview with Skip.
