Yes sir thanks and HAPPY HOLIDAYS 

Perhaps ill advised but I'm dumb enough to still try and find one that fits 

So I've got a few more NOS screw in type on the way.

So yeah I'm still rolling the dice Saga style   


Wesley's standing at his table
He's wondering if he's able
To pick the right fuse cap this time
He watches as the USPS truck stops rolling
Hopes that the package will be winning
or return to the forum to whine 


I could be wrong but that video is from 1985 that would predate GnR welcome to the jungle by a few years.  I had always (perhaps incorrectly) that that was the first use of digital delay 

Despite it's name the new EVH 5150III Hypersonic 6L6 doesn't actually have any 6L6 (or other) tubes inside.  Just like the Fender Tonemaster amps, this combo is designed to look and sound as close to an exact replica to the original tube version as possible.  According to the article they have done a great job, and it is much lighter as well.

Pricing is listed as 1,549 euros which converts to about $1,800 USD.

Probably just heatshrink.  Always scrounge/save fusecaps, especially oddballs. 
They're usually not available separately, and there are just too many types to stock them all.  Usually you end up having to change the whole holder.

Another typical noob problem

When I got two realistic amps one was missing the screw 🪛 in fuse cap 

The existing fuse cap fit both so I used that one as needed.  I "fixed" one amp which was the one that had it missing and I gave the working amp back to the guy I got both amps from.

The amp I kept and want to use now doesn't have a 3ag ? fuse holder cap 

I went out to my boat anchor ⚓ graveyard 🪦 and I swear every single one is the kind with ears and push and turn 90 degrees style 

So I bought some cheep ass  ten for eight bucks complete fuse holders and the cap is a smaller diameter and doesn't fit 

I then thought about finding the correct thread size and finding a correct normal steel bolt 🔩 and cutting it down and cutting the head off and then insulating it 

The other option is just replace or bypass the original factory 🏭 fuse holder but it's got a bunch of junk around it I hate to mess with it.

Actually it's probably just heat shrink and stuff probably no big deal

Thanks guys and happy holidays

Perhaps they tried and found the 4 inch sounded best, but , I mean, A 4 INCH GUITAR SPEAKER ?
I won't even start on the 1-1/2 inch speaker in the head unit.....

It sounds great in the recordings, but frequently small speakers do record quite well.  No idea what it sounds like "in room", but you are right, that is a TINY speaker.  Generally I'm a fan of 8" speakers for "at home" use, unsure on gigging as I don't do that lol.

Yes sir thanks btw HAPPY HOLIDAYS 

Analog meters are useful when trying to observe a trend in the reading.
A digital meter may try to seek the result whereas an analog meter needle will show it.

That's pretty bad ass that you accomplished so much with that one plain Jane meter 

There is definitely a big lesson for me to learn here 

Sorry for another question did you or do you still have special instances where an analog meter is required?

What's the deal with Beetle vs Beatle ? Can't Vox use Beatle anymore ? Doesn't Paul still have a Vox amp in his back line along side a Mesa ?
