Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Interesting discussion. I have four tube amps, three of which are Fender, and because they all have Groove tubes, I always presumed that the the two companies were already connected. I had a '66 Bandmaster amp head completely cleaned and all the components reset to the original factory specs by a leading tech here in Denver. When I picked it up, he handed me a bag of tubes and caps he had removed and said not to lose these as they are all original from 1966 and still working (just not to factory spec). I've also observed that a good old tube amp just seems to have less feedback issues than the modern solid state models. Could just be the positioning within the bandroom, though. |
