And the other 3/4 know what it smells like to let the smoke out :oops:

Many many moons ago when I got my first Fender champ I recall that I pulled the tubes to test them, got distracted by a phone call and ended up putting the recto and output tubes back into each other's socket!
The amp did not blow fuses, but did not play either and the took near 30 minutes to see my error, lol!
We all do stupid shit at one time or another !
When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!

Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

Kinda like motorcycle riders... There are those who have crashed and those who are going to crash. No third option.

Also guilty as charged :).

I miss my motorcycles however living in London I cannot get a sports bike insured unless it is in a garage and garages here cost as much as houses.

Or like last night, when I decided it'd be fun to drink some beer while I did some heaters. Wake up this morning and my 6V6s are wired pins 2 and 8 :shock:
