is changing tubes in an AC30.
eff!

It was stuck for a while after I remembered that I had to take out one of the wooden panels, and now after throwing in some groove tubes and new 12ax7/ecc38s, it sounds amazing. I think I'll take a video now?

From Billy: I had to change the title of this...

yes, there is something even worse: change the tubes of a new AC30CC, I have not succeed even seeing the tubes. I know LeonC and others have one of those, so how you can open the damn thing and see the chasis???

Fuz, you scared me with that subject, by the way!!!..
I thought there was real drama entering the forum...

Actually i've found i cant get the wooden panel off the back of my AD30r to get to the valves, well i could but i'd have to shed some real sweat putting all my weight behind a screwdriver and something tells me thats not right, or maybe i'm just very weak?

I thought you were going to say, going to a Bluegrass concert.

Cleaned this up... the original title of this was pretty offensive to me.

Sorry to hear that changing tubes on one of those is so tough- I would have thought you'd pull the chassis no matter what when doing it?

haha yeh my brother's got a fiat and that thing is pretty complicated under the hood.

fuzz · Post by **fuzz** » Wed Jul 18, 2007 7:17 pm

sorry billy. but yeah, you have to pull the chassis out, it's just 25 or so long screws that you have to get through.
