Re: Monoprice 5 Watt Tube Amp

FWIW, here is an interesting Reverb article about preamp tube changes and tone. https://reverb.com/news/how-to-improve-your-amps-tone-with-preamp-tube-swaps Interesting, as the same type article is posted many places, yet it tells you nothing really. A 12AX7 "may" have a gain of 100, but ...

Re: Monoprice 5 Watt Tube Amp

Probably liability. Chances are they only tested it with tubes that are in current production, for UL testing. (lots of chinese stuff is not UL listed) There are also other compatible tubes that draw more current than stock so i'm sure everything would run hotter and possibly burn out the power tra...

Re: Monoprice 5 Watt Tube Amp

I have one of those. Pretty sure I've spent more swapping tubes than I spent on the amp, but it's great. I love it for my pedalboard. Were you able to find better tubes than the stock ones?

Yeah, it’s an EG-491 MN Nat. I think they’re sold out of them, because I don’t see them on the rondo site anymore. I’m glad I snapped it up when I could, it’s a nice Tele.

Re: Hadean

I have a Hadean Tele. I also have a Squier Bullet Tele. I like the frets on the bullet better. I have 5 SXes and they all have jumbo frets. The Hadean has “medium jumbo” frets and they’re definitely not as good as the jumbo frets on the SXes. The Hadean is a very well-built guitar, tho, especially f...

Re: Hadean EG-461 MN NAT

OH yea, don't upset all the purists we have here :) Please don't hold back. Why did you swap the necks to begin with and were the gfs necks defective to cause the problems? The GFS necks were fine except that, especially with the wholesale neck, it was extremely tight in the neck pocket with absolu...

Let’s see if this pic shows up. IMGUR was down last night so I used a “backup” photo hoster.

This is the stock neck and pickguard back on the body

Hadean EG-461 MN NAT

I got a Hadean tele, an EG-461 MN NAT, my first tele. Costed me $99 @ Rondo (about 6 months ago, so it's not exactly new).
