Hello guitar dweebs- how's lunch coming along?
This here is my Peavey Piranha amp head seen from the back. The excessive glow here isn't tube attributable, there are actually extra LEDs in the circuit that lit up when the amp is in use. Why is this the case? Manufacturer tube amps sometimes lack the glow especially the models featuring only pre-amp tubes. Newbies & other ignorant players don't understand the fact that pre-amp tubes don't need a large amount of current to pass through them in order for them to function. We tend to expect a light bulb standard glow from our amp tubes which is a little misplaced. Those tubes in pedals- some of those hardly lit up as well. So no light = not working, yes? That's the misconception right there.
