Well... I'm considering retubing my power-amp. Need a EL84 octet. Let's see...

You must listen to the correct time. :-D Let your ears be your DeLorean!

I always carry a backup for tube-based amps. The backup is a solid-state amp. On the other hand, I never carry backups for solid-state amps.

It's a matter of probabilities, of course... usually, things tend to go a bit worse for tube amps, for all the aforementioned particularities.

That being said, I actually never needed to use backup amps in any situation. As of backup guitars, that's a whole different story... :-D

If you have to ask, then you probably don't need to go full-cab. I mean, nowadays, hardly anyone needs that, unless you're playing bigger stages.

I am migrating my 2x 4x12" live rig to a stereo cab-sim solution. Digitech CabDryVR was the best device I found that suited my needs. Now I can even use a proper cab-sim in a home studio environment (something I didn't even dream about a few years ago)! And even live, it's much easier, neater and more practical to go direct to PA from the cab-sim (velcro-ed to a tray inside the rack).

If it gets your stuff done in a way that cheap gear is definitely not able to, then go for it. (Example, a double-neck guitarbeing more expensive than a single-neck.)

Otherwise...

...the point is just gaining bragging rights!

Hello you all gearheads!

I've been a longtime user of Elixir Nanoweb strings. I decided to try out a set of D'Addario NYXL 1046 a few weeks back. Not bad! But the "touch" is not quite the same. (Maybe it's been too long since I used other strings...)

What do you think of both? I haven't quite made my mind up yet.
