And he plays a homemade semi-hollow through a cranked AC30 with wah and the occasional delay. I dig the guy.

Yeah, it's used. There's no way I could afford the $1200 for a new one. I figure that if something was going to go wrong with it, the previous owner would probably have mentioned it. There's a money-back guarantee, so I'm not worried. The guy I'm buying it from said the tubes he didn't replace when he put it up for sale are less than a year old. Groove tubes, from what he said. Not sure if they're the Sovtek rebrands or not. I guess I'll find out.
imapiratearg:
I don't think they're Sovteks repros. At least, not if they're EL84s.
glyphic:
Whoops, I was wrong. According to the previous owner:
3 brand new Ruby 12AX7 Pre-Amp Tubes have just been installed and sound awesome. The Power Tubes are 6L6 JJ tesla tubes which are amazing tubes and are less than a year old.
This is my first tube amp, so the actual brand names are still a mystery to me, somewhat. I know that Groovetubes are widely regarded as standard, but not much else. Hopefully I either learn fast or don't have to screw with it much. Ha
wespeakinmidi:
i have jj power tubes in mine and i've had great luck with them. i've also never really had a problem with groove tubes like some people do. i also have some old nos RCA pre tubes that i think have a great sound. congrats again, did i already ask what you are playing through it? i need to start taking some pics for you guys, i have some cool shit. haha.
