As some may have noticed (except those who are my facebook friends) I haven't really been on since Tuesday and that's because my latest aquisition finally arrived! My amazing little daughter Autumn Luna-Paz Marimow!

She arrived on Wednesday (yup 9/11!!) at 4:12 PM, 7lbs 1oz 20" long and perfectly healthy. We got home yesterday afternoon and have spent the last day getting everything situated and getting her accustomed to her new home. But anyways enough blabbering... Onto the adorable pics!!!!

Only moment's old:




About a day old:

And earlier today after she got her first air guitar: (I think we have a future flamenco guitarist here)

It could be failing and now redplatting. There is usually 2 symptoms of redplatting like that, at idle its just not being biased properly or during heavy play the tube is going into a positive feedback mechanism where the bias voltage is being increased (more positive) resulting in more and more power being dumped onto the plate. Likely just need new tubes.

We played a show last night and I dunno if it was the power in the building or what but I noticed my tubes were glowing a little more than usual and the tone was different. Didn't sound as strong. Set my shit up this morning and started playing around with my revelation and started hearing some popping here and there. Thought it might have been a fautly patch cable. Turns out the power tube on the far left (looking at the head from the front) started red plating like crazy. The one next to it looked like it was about to start to I turned the amp off. I replaced the tube with a spare (all Sovtek 5881/6L6GC) and haven't had a problem in the 30 minutes I played afterwards. Would it most likely be the tube was just going bad or does it seem like something in the amp might have caused the tube to red plate? These tubes probably have about a years worth of playing time on them.

you're telling me. i posted that same thing like two days ago. last night my amp totally shits the bed. turned it on for practice and it immediately blows a fuse. totally dead. it's got two fuses in it. i replace the one that blew and turn it on again and it immediately blows the other one. this time the power light is still on and the tubes are glowing, but no sound. i didn't have a replacement for that fuse and figured that even if i did something is obviously needing attention. fucking sucks. off to the tech today. hopefully something simple but i always fear the worst. i just retubed it a couple of months ago too, so that's not good.

EDIT: also, congrats on the baby, skip. lest i forget to say it.
