It's a fun not offensive thread, as shown by the amount of replies, If not ugly then how many guys are pretty? I think what this thread really points out is how many managers didn't think it was important to hire a " stylist " just show up to a photo shoot in whatever clothes you have and...

I have a super champ with no spare 6c10 , [ I see my mystery tube is a 6k11 light grey printing on the top, slight scorch marks on the top, no idea if it works though it seems the compactrons don't fail too often ? ] That's another point, in this current tube crisis, I've also been considering...

this could be another thread, I need a back up 6C10 , and or another super champ! I have a tube that looks like a 6C10 but the printing is completely gone so I have no idea what it is

I know it's been a couple of years, But does anyone find the overdrive channel too hissy or noisy ? I see a used one for sale locally and the seller mentions this.

Google each tube individually, there's microphones & Recording gear that use no longer produced tubes those would be worth something.

Some players are truly great, others Have good hussle!

Love him or hate him I find him fairly polished not a bad singer either but not very original. Someone Like Gary Moore came by it honestly, Joe .....He set out to be ProFessional blues player, and what's his face mayer , Well, If he never had a pop hit, you know the rest of that story

never mind smt or through hole, how about [ how ] original ? how many variations can they sell? or add feature sets to make them look different when under the hood ..........

Brian May I believe has a light touch with his metal coin, but highly depends on how well you hear yourself, don't use an electric to play acoustically like with the tv, or if you have a low gain amp wacking the crap out of the gtr for more level , also check the pick up height

I'm new to teles and have a cheap one for contrast, but yeah getting under the switch to flip it bugs me I hit the volume knob , good thing I don't use it live! I intend to order one of the angled switch plates
