Edit: Also last week I went to a vintage guitar store and asked for a pair of 12ax7's, any pair, and the guy sold me one Russian groovetube in a Sovtek box, and an ElectroHarmonix 6CA4, claiming it would work just as well as a 12AX7 since they look the same and have the same pins. Put that one in first and almost fried my amp, burnt smell all over the place, motherfuck. :mad:

:wtc: That'll never work, a 6CA4 is a rectifier tube. Get your money back then go spend it in another guitar shop where they know what they're talking about.
