Imagine the fine rusty tones you could get from installing these.

gotta get that mojo.

an acquaintance of mine builds amps and pedals in his spare time. he would go through a big bucket of transistors until he found the right one, which he would always pick out with a flourish and say yeah, this one's got the mojo.

You can get current ones for $2 or even stupid reliced ones for $9 which is still $490.99 less than the vintage one

xps - building amps is so impressive to me. I’m shit at soldering, changing the battery snap on a fuzz pedal was stressful.

you mean the high dc voltage to bias? Or you worry about the stuff in the tubes?

Yeah I mean the electrocution risk. But I have no experience whatsoever trying to work on amps nor intent to try.
