Hope you have backup tubes.

I wouldn't risk it.

The ninja might be bribed to take your Klon.

EHX is back inn the game, but the prices they shall rise:

Attention All EHX Tube Customers

The export restriction on Russian tubes has been resolved for now. We are accepting new orders, processing backorders, and hoping to resume shipping in April. Priority will be given to the oldest orders.

Considering various economic pressures, we must raise our wholesale prices. This price increase will apply to all back- and new orders. Also, there will likely be a further price increase for tubes shipped from our NYC headquarters once the government implements heightened tariffs against Russian goods, akin to the 35% rate Canada is now imposing. Other territories, including EU, UK, and Japan, are expected to follow suit.

For all non-US customers facing such heightened tariffs and with combined Russian tube orders of $3K or more: Consider having our Russian warehouse directly ship such combined orders to the nearest international airport in your country. That will avoid our having to pass along the cost of the heightened US import tariff. Otherwise, you will, in effect, incur a double tariff on shipments imported first to NYC and then to a country with heightened tariffs.

You can cancel any backorder, but we do not recommend this; there is a tremendous shortage of tubes.

another in a series of events in which i continually learn the fallacy of continuance :/

also, here's the thing. being me, i did have backup tubes, but most of them were destroyed in a flood a couple of years ago

Yea, was about to post the update, thanks.

I have a stash, and I shot three of Chank's ninjars with microphonic AX7s.

2022: the year Chank goes all solid state

I did consider selling the v4 i finally managed to get noise free cause of this. In the short run however I guess switching it to SS would be more of a drag than taking the risk

[manymanyhaha]

I have trust issues with folks who hoard ninjas, just sayin.....

I was sad at reading this at first but because I am 3rd time around buying and building the gear that fits me, day dreaming on my 3k friedman with all of the tubes. The preamp in two tones pedal is based off a Fender Bassman and I can change the magical tubes in it all want.

Maybe I might even be able to get a power amp pedal and run real speaker cab and turn off my cab sim

I have essentially transcended and already won.

Eh. I've put in an order for a couple of TAD KT88s. I need a backup pair anyway.

We'll see if I actually get em.

KT88s rule
