right, couple of months ago got a valve junior amp. Have recorded and gigged with it, and am very happy with it considering its low price. As its the version 3 model, a lot of the orriginal design flaws/ommissions (including only having a 4 ohm speaker out) have been corrected.
however, having been the sort of kid that took his toys apart, and having read loads on the web about how easy this amp is to mod, Im curious to give it a go- at the very least change the valves or buy one of those paint-by-numbers mod kits to stick in a standby switch and a tone knob...
one thing that seems to come up again and again in (the largely ammerican) web waffle about this is the danger of shock from un-discharged tubes. so, how does one safley discharge valves, or is this as much of an issue in a country where the plugs have an earth?
sorry if this seems incredibly dense, but I reckoned the thumped guitar wizards would have an idea.
