Tom	Humble Bassman Reissue 5y3 ah Yes( I Hope) Hey I humblized my 59 bassman reissue. Built on a Hoffman Turret board. Currently out of room in the chassis. For 5 Years It has served me well. Nothing but compliments on the sound. I switch rectifer tube's from 5AR4 to SS 6L6 To EL34 depending on the type of Gig I'm playing. Well I put a 5Y3 with the El34's What a awsome sound! Compresses very early Nice and pleasing to the ear w/o loud volume I like this Sound. And so did 6 other Guitar players from other Bands at my last outdoor gig! Could one of You Guru's Explain the effect the 5y3 is having on the circut. any responce welcome Thank's
