Thanks for the input Dave! Any advice on how to eliminate the
peircing highs? Maye a different tube? Would NOS be a good
investment? This is off the subject but, we need Slacktone in San
Antonio (just an gour and a half south of Austin) any chances? I
could set up the gig. Just thought I'd ask.
Thanks--Phillip

invasive, but, it is easy to remove. They didn't make the cabinets as
good in '78, but they're OK. They use Orange drops caps instead of
Mallorys, so the tone/response is a little different from a BF. The
driver stage in a silver face can easily be change to BlackFace spec,
if preferred.The speakers are probably better, too. If they haven't
been damaged.
