Yea I have read that as well, it depends on the tone you want I guess, some okes want it cleaner (sm57) and some like the added distortion the bullet mics give you.  They say it is easier to cup a sm57 with your hands than a bullet, and the cupping does add lots of distortion.

I have decided to go for this one http://www.geocities.com/bottle_o_blues/Product_mic.html $50 excluding shipping.

Anywhoo, back on topic, the Cub 8 got a nice bit of dirt on it, so methinks it will work well as a harp amp, only time will tell tho.

Where did you get it Ray?

And? What do you think about it? Spit it out man!

I'll mention this to the guys at Jean Village when I go and pick up the amp today. As I said, I paid 2677-00 which is a 33% discounted 3995-00.

OK, just went and fethced the Cub 10. I mentioned to Jake that Alan said that they have to give it to me at the price quoted in this thread other wise there was gonna be big sh!#. So they said OK and off I went with my little amp. Nah, I just mentioned what been told above and Jake said well, then they would honor that and off I went with my little amp and a couple wall hangers and a cable. And then nogal got a bit of a discount thrown in as well because the extras I took for the difference came to somewhat more than what I had paid originally. So, I gotto tell y'all to go and buy stuff there, good to deal with. Thanks evabod.

OK, so I plugged it in and it works. Except for the pilot light. Well that's not a big sweat and not about to go tearing back to the store to bleat. I think it sounds gif , maybe not as loud as I'd like but too loud for the people next door and behind and the other next door. Sure I should be able to take a look and see why the light doesnt work and just fix it or get someone to because I heard and read that there is all sorts of stored up voltage in bits inside that can cause a bit of shit if you dont know what you are doing. Ya, I read that in a book that I bought by Dave Hunter when I was thinking I'd put together an amp. I dont know too much about electronics so I laughed that off. All in all, a good purchase. Now what I want to do is get a compressor and slap that in front to see what it does.

Hmmm, seems to be an issue all round, everyone who owns one here has complained about the indicator lamp going in and out at will... I also noticed the buzz as I shared in my mini review.

I'm swamped for the next week or 2 but officially close shop Dec 11th, maybe the week after that I can take a look at it with you? I'm dying to open one up to see what is inside and will post some pics if you allow me and we can look at ways to improve the tone of the little beast  I've had an offer to open up a Cub 10 as well.

I've also got a JJ 6V6 and 12AX7 here we can put in as well as some NOS tubes and a new Jensen 8" speaker, interested to hear if we hear a major differences and what they are, maybe we can upload the clips here? All these are small mods that anyone can do, no tech required... in time we can look at more specialized mods.

Cheers
