NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Going up to Grant for a refret next month, hoping this will breathe some life back into it and make it playable again. It's such a cool guitar but hard to play now with the frets all but worn out https://www.nzguitars.com/forum/download/file.php?id=34439 Managed to drop an old Faber ABR-1 bridge on...

Thanks for that RA. Yes, this Jansen 6/20 has 6L6 power valves. Looking at the 6V6 datasheets, it also specifically states that the grid leak resistor should not exceed 100kOhm for fixed biasing. A very popular vintage amp, let's call it Princeton Reverb, uses 6V6 power valves with 220 kOhm grid le...

That's JBs stage name. Cavernous, I hear.

Dual rectum-fryer I’m told

Ha! That’s amazing !
