CUB 10 recomended modifications
Hello,
I have just ordered a second hand CUB 10 amp.I
If I were to replace the tubes what would you recommend?
Let me say I am not at all a gear-head, but I like experimenting :)
Another thing I wanted to ask you is if you could recommend (to your best knowledge) another 10" speaker I could find in Europe (particularly in Spain) with a comparable quality to the Weber 10A125 that Dave recommends in the amp review ?
The shipping cost of the Weber 10A125 to Spain seems to almost double it's price, so I have been wondering if I could find some comparable substitute here.
I could find here a Celestion G10 Greenback 10 inch 30-watt 8 Ohm, but since I am totaly new to this I don't know if this would be a good replacement option.
Many thanks in advance!
Thanks for writing. I do not know what brands are easily obtainable in Spain, but a Celestion would certainly work.
You might try a different vendor like amplifiedparts.com. They offer several good brands. I think that Priority Mail to Spain would be about $50.
Hello Angel.
I'll answer the first question...Skip is not up on new amps.
Don't mess with the power tubes. You can experiment with the 12AX7's though. Try a 12AY7 and 12AT7. Experiment with different combinations of the three tubes and see what you like the best.
P.S., I think it sounds great the way it is.
Skip will answer the speaker question.
P.S., Celestion makes nice speakers... they sound good for harp.
