Mike Gardner | Epiphone Comet Tube Amp EA32-RVT Epiphone Comet Tube Amp EA32-RVT Help on a Epiphone Comet Tube Amp EA32-RVT... I just got this old non-functioning tube amp.... So I replaced misc. browned caps with correct value replacements, the 4 filter capacitors, and the 2 power tubes (EL-84's from Mojotone) and the preamp tubes (2 Sovtek 6EU7's) and the ? tube(phase splitter? reverb?) with a new old stock tung-sol 12AU7 and the blown speaker with a mojotone 10" of the right (8) impedance. Well -- it fires up! BUT -- the tone is all trebly and thin and bitey -- hardy sounds the wound strings on my guitar at all. Any ideas? I was an EE major once upon a time -- so I can handle meters and a soldering iron, Just never worked on tube stuff before other than replacing tubes. Any help for a newbie? Thought this old amp might be a good one to learn on. Mike Gardner -- "Life is too short to play a crappy guitar" -- Rick Nielson of Cheap Trick |
