you should bias the tube "hot" that way when you power it on you can throw the standby switch (you DO have a standby switch... right????) after only 19.8 sec. operation will be much smoother, no chunks on the top either... (does thast mean "a smooth high end"?)
...It's Behringer, so it will perform as good out of the box as it will after "breaking in." That's one of the perks of "Tube Warmth." The tube does it all ...rejoice in the majesty of the starved-plate tube distortion, er.., ummm, I mean "warmth"
My old drummer really sucked. Is there a particular color lava lamp that would have helped him show up to practice, stop doing heroin, and actually remember how to play our songs? It's a little scary to think that this might be entirely my fault that he couldn't play worth a shit, and I need to know what color lamp to buy that might prevent this from happening in the future.
Although that is actually a Craftsman product, as Berri always does, they ripped it off EXACTLY, but made it superior in every way, for a lower price of $1.99. Even the consistency of the build is better, which is often a problem with such vaccum tubes. They can accomplish such improvements at lower prices because they get their stuff made in probably the highest quality factory in China, with the best QC of any factory, ever. It is also because they are actually the true god of the universe.
