...and now I have some questions. I in no way regret my purchase, I simply am curious about the head and I know next to nothing about them, especially tubed ones!

1.) The fellow I bought it from said that he replaced the stock tubes with 6L6's. I've done some research and found that these tubes are pretty killer. I'm just curious what other people around here use.

2.) How long does a set of tubes last? These ones I have are new, I think they have been in there for something like 3 months??? but I'm unsure because they sound amazing.

3.) I'm running it through an Atlas 4x12 cab with Celestion Vintage 30's for speakers. What does "moving a lot of air" mean?

4.) Any other info about tubes or useful tips, etc. are greatly appreciated.

Alright. What is a cab/load box?

Ah, I'll look into the load box thing. As far as taste, I thank you Stitch.

And it is a 1st gen with the handles. They're pretty solid though. Is there and sort of modding I should do to the casing so that I can prevent the head from falling when I pick it up?

 

[Nyarlath]

I sort of figured that chain or sturdy metal bars either welded or screwed to the top would be effective. I guess we will see if this needs to happen.

So basically a load box will change the level of the output as not to affect the sound quality, but make it so that the amp will be able to sound great at a low volume?

That is super helpful. Thank you.
