Yes, I know there is a sub for knives but I see cool shit posted here in GD by people who aren't in the sub then forget what the title of the thread was and then get bored trying to search through every random knife related thread in GD.

This is what I usually carry for long bike rides:

Determined to improve upon the existing practice amp market, we began developing our own low powered amps. In 1965, our vision became a reality with the release of the 18W Marshall 1974. Known for its exquisite hand-wiring, it was about to shake up the scene for studio players.

Almost a Bluesbreaker in miniature, the 1974 featured a grey and white pinstripe fret cloth, white piping and a white script logo. There were two channels, each with 2 inputs, tremolo and a footswitch. But as with all amps, it was inside the chassis where the magic was happening. The combo was powered by three ECC83 preamp valves and two EL84 output valves with an EZ81 rectifier. A 12” Celestion speaker provided a characteristic rich sound that was perfect for studio use.

Since its return the 1974X has been adopted by Angus Young (AC/DC), Josh McClorey (The Strypes), Pete Doherty, Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam) Jake Kiszka (Greta Van Fleet), Will Farquarson (Bastille) and Winston Marshall (Mumford & Sons)."

The USPc9 was my carry for a decade plus simply because Jack Bauer carried it. Now I rotate between a few full size Glocks, a Beretta 92A1, and a 10mm 1911.

There's really nothing to recommend the HK other than nostalgia.

So like the other one this will be a scratch build. Ironically, their "new standard" is just the old standard, which is what I'm trying to emulate as well. Starting with real deal USA transformers and using original style components and real wires instead of circuit traces. Basically the reality of it is getting high quality components costs more than the cost of a normal OTS amp and they are harder to put together too. Here's the small parts list if you want to see (I got the mustard reissue caps) - http://valvestorm.com/18watt

I mean it's a great gun, but the G43X outclasses it as a carry piece in almost every way possible.

Yeah they are supposed to be pretty efficient with a lot of headroom and a terrific growl when cranked.

I'll just come right out and say I have an impressive collection of NOS & lightly used / tested vintage tubes from the USA, Holland, UK, and Germany that I hunted down from ebay over years as a hobby. I should not ever need a Russian tube and only occasionally use them for rectifiers because those really can't affect tone. I actually had to go look, but indeed I have at least two sets of EL84 power tubes in spite of never having owned and amp that runs them before I also have a Bugle Boy 12ax7 and some Mullards & Telefunkens that seem appropriate to try out in the preamp.

Hard to see - the drawer is several layers deep - just the one pair of NOS RCA 6v6 in the back left would be several hundred now

Damn. That's more impressive than most knife collections.

But what I'm hearing is that when my hot rodded Peavy Classic 20 combo needs EL84s, I need to break into your house. Actually, I assume it still runs those tubes. I loaned it to a touring guitarist a while
back and their amp tech modded it to high hell apparently.

The combo was powered by three ECC83 preamp valves and two EL84 output valves with an EZ81 rectifier. A 12" Celestion speaker provided a characteristic rich sound that was perfect for studio use.

Since its return the 1974X has been adopted by Angus Young (AC/DC), Josh McClorey (The Strypes), Pete Doherty, Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam) Jake Kiszka (Greta Van Fleet), Will Farquarson (Bastille) and Winston Marshall (Mumford & Sons)."

The Reissue is $3800... I'm in $600 for all premium components (sans cabinet, speaker, and tubes).

Dude that's such a cool size/power for a 12" combo. That thing is going to scream.

I've heard that getting tubes is a challenge right now. Have you priced them out yet?

Yeah they are supposed to be pretty efficient with a lot of headroom and a terrific growl when cranked.

I'll just come right out and say I have an impressive collection of NOS & lightly used / tested vintage tubes from the USA, Holland, UK, and Germany that I hunted down from ebay over years as a hobby. I should not ever need a Russian tube and only occasionally use them for rectifiers because those really can't affect tone. I actually had to go look, but indeed I have at least two sets of EL84 power tubes in spite of never having owned and amp that runs them before I also have a Bugle Boy 12ax7 and some Mullards & Telefunkens that seem appropriate to try out in the preamp.

Hard to see - the drawer is several layers deep - just the one pair of NOS RCA 6v6 in the back left would be several hundred now

Damn. That's more impressive than most knife collections.

But what I'm hearing is that when my hot rodded Peavy Classic 20 combo needs EL84s, I need to break into your house. Actually, I assume it still runs those tubes. I loaned it to a touring guitarist a while
back and their amp tech modded it to high hell apparently.
Ha yeah I like Peaveys and that sounds like a sweet deal. I have this old ValveKing which actually sounds pretty great but the reverb never worked since I bought it used and the only tech around here never could sort it out. It's in the basement with the Bassman though right now which is it seems where really loud 50W amps end up....

Remind me to get a different lawyer.

There's really nothing to recommend the HK other than nostalgia.

I have a full size USP 9.  I don't carry it anymore because of it's size and capacity. It's a fantastic shooter though.

It's a large pistol and only holds 15 rounds.  I carry a G19 because it's much more convenient.
