Re: Bob Clear's Electar 10 mods!!! and Electar 30 info.
>I just got my Electar 10 from musicyo, but I'm in Sweden so I bought it from their EU-site.  
 
Cool! I hope you enjoy modding it as much as I have mine. It gets pretty addictive after a few weeks...  
 
 
>I've never been tweaking with any amplifier before, and I've heard you should take care with large caps and all. Now, is there any good "beginners guide" to start messing around with tubeamps, dealing with the risks and stuff?  
 
R.G. has a good tube amp FAQ here:

This is a good place to start-BUT it doesn't substitute for experience. If you're not confident, get someone to show you how. Discharging the filter caps is not "rocket science", but at the same time, if you are not sure, it's a good idea to get someone with some electronics experience to help you the first time.  
 
>And, what mod-page for the Electar 10 are you talking about?

Have fun! (And let us know what you did.)
