I should be getting my 2C51 tube from FedEx today. From what I hear it makes the lunchbox sound quite a bit nicer.

I really wish the lunchbox had more tube rolling options. Wonder if you could use an adapter with it...

send Mikhail an email, he's the master of tube adapters.

sweet, thanks man. i'll send him an email.

i hope there isn't some physical limitation as to why there aren't more rolling options. cause that'd suck.

I don't know... I liked the fact that options were limited with the LB. The idea of tube rolling has no appeal to me. The LB is an inexpensive amp that sounds much, much better than it has any business sounding, but in the end, it is what it is and probably isn't worth searching beyond the drop-ins. IMO, of course. I thought the volume pot was a much bigger issue, with poor tracking. But I'm guessing that has more to do with the fact there's a lot crammed into not alot of real estate.

you do have a great point there Ian. the LB is cheap, relatively, and sounds amazing. i agree about the volume pot, it's too easy to go from really quiet to insanely loud if you twist a little too much. would have liked a bit more resistance on it. i don't even go past 8 o' clock on the thing. i'm mainly curious about the tube rolling thing because i want to see how far this baby can go ;D

Nikon SB800 flash from B&H

having 500 PM space is awesome

When I had it, I thought so. Now that I'm back down to normal, I don't really mind at all. It helps that I don't get a bajillion "how do I fix my soundcard" PM's anymore, thanks to the ubiquity of USB-DACs.

K701s to cross reference my W1000s on the Trafomatic Head One, also to serve as loaners at the next So Cal meet.

Oh and a nice Valentines day surprise for the wifey. How does the saying go? "one for me, four for her".
