So the Bad Cat has been causing pretty much any EL34 to red plate. The idle current draw of even the lowest we've tried to put in is about 40-45 watts where it should be 25. It's been a bummer. The cathode bias makes it tougher to really adjust that via the amp, so we realized that we need a stronger tube. The EL34s just can't handle a little more heat than they're used to.

We know we have a tube that will have a nice low current draw and would be able to handle a little bit of overheating. So yeah, I'm throwing KT88s in that motherfucker.

Timing is absolutely insane since we're in studio starting tomorrow. So I'm going to do scratch tracks with my ENGL and the studio's Soldano SLO-100 and my Bad Cat will be ready for when I track.

I don't know why I'm offering all of this information via RttP. I miss you babby.
