The reason for me is I am going to try something I won't mention until I do it, because all of you will think I am crazy, but if it works..Oh Boy. So I need a definitive answer to that. Are you liking your rig now mcinku. Title: Re: Will the Overtone use 5881 power tube?

Are you liking your rig now mcinku. The reason why I said that is cause I measured mine (450V) and the other one, which belongs to my friend had 470V. So if you want to know for sure what your plate voltage is, you will have to measure it. ??? Title: Re: Will the Overtone use 5881 power tube?

Like I said I'm not an expert and I want to learn as much as possible... and statement like that doesn't say much. Can those tubes handle bigger plate voltages or what? ??? |
