I´m proud of my amp

[Metal Overload]

had a gig this saturday.

My amp is a B52 AT100, put it with a Triple Recto for other guitar, i played the recto, but the AT100 give good fight, i dont compare it with the mesa , but man, was really close, in a 100% scale i give 60 to the recto and 40 to the AT100, easily. my amp with stock tubes (not good ones) mixed power tubes (three stock sovtek and one mesa), the triple recto almost brand new, fresh tubes, of course the recto is way louder.

So im proud of my amp, im happy with it, at least until i can buy a 6505.

I just recorded a B52 and was pleasantly surprised. Not bad at all, and I only played around with the settings for maybe 15 minutes. Glad you're happy with yours.

I tracked a B-52 recording a punk band a while back and it was pretty sweet. I'd imagine it would work well for metal.

Recently did a demo for a band that had one and it worked pretty well along side my 5150.

 

[JeffTD]

Holy shit you've got more to worry about than going up against Recto's if you're mixing/matching poweramp tubes!

I like the b-52 more than a 5150

 

[everybody's x]

a band I'm tracking now has one, I was curious about them but he's embarrassed to bring it over! I'm trying to talk him into it. The band is horrible THAT doesn't embarrass him.

I'm hoping you made a typo and meant to say "mixed preamp tubes" and not power tubes.

Seriously, I wouldn't do that.

unmatched power tubes may or may not blow up your amp. i have seen people do it for years with no problems and some people have problems right away. matching your power tubes will make the amp sound better.IMO.

Hey!, Thank you!!
Well i´ve played a lot with it with this "unwanted son" tube and sounds good, never had a problem, so maybe there is not much to worry about, however i want to retube the amp soon, an maybe some mods.

 

[jeffadies]

no problem. when you retube it just buy your tubes in pairs and everything should be good to go..
