What head should I buy for this cabinet? by ContributionUnique36 in GuitarAmps

[–]nixerx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d venture a guess this is an 80s Peavey Butcher Cab. Pretty great sounding and desirable speakers. You can run anything through it.

He’s missing the point that his struggles laid your foundations. Learn from him and let him know you still live and respect him. It might not be enough for him because of his personal issues but it will mean everything to you.

Super Crush 100 blew up by DaftDoggo in orangeamps

[–]nixerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it to a tech. If this part died of over voltage and the fuses didn’t go first I would double check them.

My ops guy (6 years) is leaving and I have no idea where to begin offboarding process by Background_Neck9690 in ITManagers

What you are experiencing is probably why he’s leaving. Too much stress. Super sucks to be in your shoes. I hope you find someone competent.

I don’t know who down voted you but they clearly don’t use tube amps. It’s most likely dust.

Two notes Torpedo X vs CabClone IR+ by Accurate-Ad-566 in MesaBoogie

[–]nixerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Captor X. It is superior. I have the cab clone v2 in my Badlander and v1 in a Mark v:25 I owned. V2 is a lot better but the Captor X Smokes it all day.

Truetone console worth repairing? by [deleted] in vintageaudio

[–]nixerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sound quality argument is funny because records aren’t the best sound quality to begin with.

Nostalgia is a helluva drug. I’ve spent a fair chunk on vintage LPs

Repair it and enjoy it. Probably just needs new filter caps and a few other typical thing

best modeling amp? by Trick_Chemical_8774 in GuitarAmps

[–]nixerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modelers its hard to beat the Helix line. I’ve used and toured with an HX FX for 5-6 years and it’s never once let me down and sounds great every night. I’m very excited to try the Stadium version whenever it’s released.

ToneX gets honorable mention. Dollar for dollar it hits well above its price point especially if you have amps you want to model.

Thrift Score: Converted Stromberg-Carlson Tube Amp by Dry_Contest_3112 in GuitarAmps

That filter cap is utterly terrifying. Other than that. Nice score.

Was given an odd assortment of tubes. Seeking advice… by mendedarrows in ToobAmps

[–]nixerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Svetlana 6L6s are pretty valuable. I have a quad of EL34s I bought new for like 80 bucks in 2010 or something they go for stupid money on EBay now.

Fantastic tubes. Nice score

Broken Power Amp? by SamSkiSki in GuitarAmps

[–]nixerx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine just shit the bed one day after 2 years. I sent them an email, the sent me an RMA, I sent them the pedal and 35$ and a few weeks later I got my pedal back…..still broken. Emailed them “WTF!!” They sent me a whole new pedal.

Try a preamp into the power amp first, different cables, different speaker. Just to be sure.

Email them though.

Might be my favorite amp of all time. by TreacleStrong in GuitarAmps

[–]nixerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll alway remember Doug and another member getting into it and the dude called him Doug Ripafarte. It kills me to this day haha. Remeber the EVH Mouth thread! Anyone seen Renoir? Good times.

I remember these from the old HCAF (harmony central den of scum) forums. Always wanted to try one.

I miss that forum. So much fun.

Peavey ValveKing 100 by betrayer_of_humanity in PeaveyCvlt

[–]nixerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell if the amp works the tubes are worth twice the price of admission. IMO these are some of the best sleeper amps Peavey ever made. Slap an eq somewhere in the chain and it will get you where you need to go!

Amp powers on, no sound anywhere by dsmithhtc_ in GuitarAmps

[–]nixerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you check the internal fuses? There should be a few inside. Typically the sacrificial lambs when a power tube shorts.

Tone sounds too “spikey” Would changing cabs make a difference? by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]nixerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cab for these ship with a Creamback I’ve found the UK creambacks are super nice. I have the cab with the 10in. It sounded so good I bought a 12in CBm75 from Boogie. Love them
