Craig Sawyers Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Are those transmitter tubes in the Moth amps? Edited June 28, 2019 by Craig Sawyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Radar tubes And it’s not even an amp, it’s a night light. (Actually it’s more of a conversation piece, and that conversation usually has the phrase, “good lord!” declared at some point.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 I have no idea how the Phonitor sounds and if it's worth the price of admission, but it's one of the coolest with all the pots and the VU meters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudeWolf Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Supposedly starting from Phonitor 2 they're really good. XE has the same amp topology, but with a proper balanced output. The inner signal paths are SE, as doing a balanced X-feed matrix would cost a fortune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
