Lowering the low “B” to “A” with the same lever that lowers the 2nd a full tone, is also a great change! (I’ve had that one for 50 years!) | |

I’ve used Sharpies (gray with the black cap) for decades, as well as other markers, the cut-off end of a broomstick, combs, and just about anything else you could think of. | |

If you're playing regularly at home, IMHO, you shouldn't need an extended warm up period. Playing the night before or earlier in the day should be sufficient. Of course, of you're not getting enough ... | |

Hiss in a tube unit is almost always caused by a bad tube, so the first thing you want to try is to replace the tube. | |

If your gut says EVM-15L, but you’re afraid of too many highs, then go with the bass version, the EVM-15B. (That’s what I did. ) | |
