  • blown tube?

    taking a look inside today, i noticed my V3 tube (phase invertor) looks weird. All of my other tubes are silvery/metallic on top. This one tube is black on top. is she blown? can i just swap her for the V4 12ax7 as a temp fix, cause i heard V3 is much more important than V4 (or V2).

    also, anyone know of a good tube/speaker setup for crate VC ?

    im thinking jensen alnico p12r (50 watt), w/ EH 12ax7 and JJ El84 ??? i have no experience with any, but they are rumored to be good?

    That's normal. If the phase inverter wasn't working, you'd know it!
