That's awesome! Congrats!
Coldsteal... I have the AVT100 (not 50 like yours) so I can't swap the speaker out for a Celestion Vintage 30 since that speaker handles only up to 60 watts. Do you know a close second which sounds the most like the V30 that can handle 100 watts??? I'm assuming...
I just got lucky and picked up an AVT. I'm very happy with mine. I'd call all the music stores in your area and see if they have any left before they're all gone for good. With you're budget a GOOD all tube amp is almost out of the question unless you get a great deal.
That's odd about the JJ's. I've heard they have lotts of bass response which seems to contradict Plexipaul's "chimey" tube post. Which one is it?
I've read Chinese tubes have a sweet, warm, midrange to them. I'm more confused now than ever...
I've managed to pickup an AVT and noticed the stock tube says "Marshall" but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone know what kind of tube most sounds like this one, i.e. Mullard, etc...?
Thanks for your input jetiii. I was hoping the mod, Guv'nor could fill in more details on my two original questions.
If it's true and there is a replacement coming out I need to have an idea when so I know what kind of wait time I'll be looking at. Otherwise I might as well just buy...
I don't know if this is old news but I've heard the AVT's are going out of production and are to be replaced with a better amp which has a full valve pre-amp. Is this true???
I've also heard the MG's will be replaced with something better as well. Please verify or squash and please be as...
