A real dumb Tube question


Ok ok ok, chances are i will get the moron of the evening award for this post, but i have never heard OR seen a tube amplifier in action....

I KNOW I SAID IT WAS A DUMB QUESTION! STOP LAUGHING ALREADY!
:)

Seriously. I have 0 experience with tube amps.

slappy
dude.... clueless...

man that looks KILLER!

Thanks!

Any day you learn something new is a day worth having.
Yes in deed and they glow in different color depending on the type. Most are yellow or orange red but some (e.g. 211/VT4C) glow like a small light bulb.
Slappy, where you an only child? Did you not get a lot of attention as a younger Slap? Does your future misses Slappy not spend quality time with your little Slapper?

YES TUBES GLOW!!! And before you post another thread "DO TUBES GET HOT"? YES!!!

P.S. ONLY KIDDING, & I LOVED YOUR EQUIPMENT PICTURE YOU POSTED AS I LMAO!!!
Only after havig sex with another tube.

Don't regret posting this, it is how you learn. You should have saw the responses when I asked "where do tubes come from?"

Anyway, my tubes(like other I assume) have two orange spots on top that glow, don't see it really in the daytime, but at night they are quite visible. I don't really see what the "ambience" hype is about, but then again I only have 4 tubes. Some have as many as 12. Now that might be a site.

Finally, one thing, not only do the tubes get hot, but the room does too from all the heat. Something to think about.
