My goodness - check out what the boffins at Sylvania created back in the 1960s - a triple triode tube! #electrontube #vacuumtube #valve

Secret project!! My first tube! Packed up my amps and of course can’t stop won’t stop… so messing around with making an amp. #electroharmonix #vacuumtube #guitar #effectspedal #diy #secret

A prototype Effectrode #effectspedal that didn't make it into production… yet - the 'Acoustode' #vacuumtube preamp for acoustic with tube notch filter and tube phase inverter! #guitarfx

This is the front board for the blues harp preamp. It's an unconventional 6-layer board, is in final inspections, and should arrive sometime next week. After that, it's assembly, and final tests with Tall Paul.

#VacuumTube device builders and enthusiasts should support each other, and I hope we have a #tubesky* community that welcomes everyone and encourages people to share their builds, mods and discoveries here

*can we call it that?

Dr. D restoring the @mcintoshlabs MI3 as we wait for the NOS CRT tube to arrive. can’t wait to have fun with this beautiful piece.
