      I even used to study diagrams of these things. I should know tube construction forwards and back in my sleep.

      If green smoke comes starts pouring out of the back...please don't sue us...

      What you said was right - the times I've redplated tubes (don't ask, sometimes knowledge is expensive) it seemed to start in the middle, but if you see it anywhere it's time to lower the bias.

            I hope he thinks about it. It would be nice to play with Tony again... Hard to find good competent guitarists that aren't assholes like me...

                No problem dude, it wasn't a rip and i didn't mean it to be if it came across that way.

                        Hehe... I use the intellifex output for volume control and leave the VHT full out. Does look cool tho...

                        Still haven't truly dialed in tha La Roque setting IMO. Shooting for the Abigail era stuff...
