A few questions for V32 Palomino owners

[Corbic]

Hey all, I had just a few technical questions about this amp, I will be getting one within two weeks and wanted to know a few things beforehand.

1. When changing power tubes, do they need to be biased?

2. What speaker comes stock in it? What do you suggest to changing it to (if need be)?

3. How does the reverb and boost sound on it?

Thanks!

1. Matched tubes must be used, cathode biased....no need for internal bias adjustment IIRC

2. Restickered Celestion 70/80. Put a G12H30 in it, you will thank me.

3. The reverb is fair (I don't use mine) the boost is very usable.

+1 to all of the above.

Thanks guys, I'm already looking forward to getting it. The wait is killing me, but it'll all be worth it in the end :banana:
