Hey guys!
Check this out:
I ran this tube in my bassplayers Musicman amp, which blew up.
I thought the tubes might still be fine, so I decided to try them in my RT2/50.
Turns out one of them ran so hot it actually charred the red JJ label to black!
(that's not the light, the label is actually this dark!)
Just wanted to share it..
I had turned the bias all the way down to 0.
It actually read zero on the right tube, the left tube read 88 - 90 :shock:
That's when I decided to turn it off and pull them out, before they'd ruin my RT2/50!
Can a tube blowing like this actually harm your amp? (besides blowing the fuse related to it)?
