Hello,
Allow me to introduce myself as I am a new member. My name is Kim (aka: CrazyMisfit). I am hoping to start building a new sIII 18 watt kit, very soon. But with most newbie’s I do have a few questions:
1) I have been debating to either go with a combo or a head style for the sIII, and I still can’t make up my mind. Any suggestions on which one I should choose?
3) Has anyone tried or has success with adding an effects loop? It’s not terribly crucial, but it would be nice to have some delay. I did read somewhere that there could potentially be some negative change in tone of the amplifier. Don’t know if that’s true or not, like I said I am new to this.
2) And finally what new production tubes do most people suggest? I used to have a bunch of NOS tubes (you name it I had it)…until they all got
stolen! Unfortunately I don’t have the money to buy a bunch of those tubes as most of them were just given to me by my late great grandfather. All I have left are my matched RCA 6L6GC Blackplate's.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice. I am sure I will have more questions as time progresses. Can’t wait to get this project going once the extra cash become available…
Maybe I should sell those tubes....
