Tech tube valves... Anyone try these yet?

Although the CRT cathode proven technology statement is nothing more than sales jargon. My bad, I thought the wattgrinder and tech tubes were basically the same thing. Thanks for the clarification Scott.

Exactly. This thread was about Tech Tubes. I think there is good potential there.

The Watt Grinders are BS. Solid State plugins. Maybe good, but the sales stuff is really misleading.

Tony, please do not misquote me. I was referring to the solid state thing. Not the Tech Tubes. Those are quite nice. I have tried them btw.

Scott

How do you misquote a Quote.. I lknew you were not talking about the Tech tube...

..Uh huh.... Lets package up a solid state device that replaces the 12AX7 and continually mislead by calling it a "tube device" and other nonsense.

It is not a tube. It is solid state. Putting the pins on it doesn't make it better.

I bought one used from a friend and I've tried it in 3 Dumble's and a Fender, in all except PI position.

I agree with Brandon that it lacks bottom end, but in addition I'll add that it has great highs. Right now it's in V1 on a 100 watt Funk chassis Dumble HRM. I like what it does for the highs especally on the cleans. The jury's out on the OD side though. This tube is not microphonic any more than a good new tube.
