I saw nothing for tube amps on BF. Sweetwater had one combo, 2x12 fender something marked down a few hundred but gone instantly and not much else out there.

Been a bad BF.

Yup not just for Amps, but for everything, Home Depot, Amazon, Etc.
Big Box gives no fucks this year. Only cool BF stuff has been Mom&Pops.
Down side of Trump's Economy maybe.

Thanks for keeping an eye out.

Seems I only post here to give Big Wreck updates. There cover of "Closer to the Heart" was released today with the re-issue of Rush's "A Farewell to Kings". Make sure to listen through the end. The guitar work at 1:25 is absolutely insane. Ian Thornley is fucking ridiculous with his pick/finger-style hybrid approach.

What are ya'll using for tuners? My Korg CA-30 finally bit the dust. I liked it but the input not making good contact. Looked at it that was no help. The plainer the better. I looked quickly and some of them look more like a tablet.

TC Electronics PolyTune2 for a couple years. The chromatic tuner is so fast that I don't ever use the "tune all the strings at the same time" mode. But it's there anyway if you need it, and it automatically switches to the correct mode just as fast as the chromatic tuner switches to the correct note.

I have the classic Boss tuner but I'm going to pick up one of those headstock clip-ons. I have a couple friends with those and they're badass. Save pedal real estate and no need to plug in.

I have a couple clip on tuners and there is 0 way I'll ever use anything else ever again. They're super accurate

My main is a Snark (Amazon). I got a reverb one for $2 but I haven't used it

I have the standard Boss tuner on my board and a Snark clip-on. The Boss is nice as a kill-switch if something goes wrong, too.

i just have a guitar tuner app on my phone. it's not as precise as the various clip-on tuners out there, but its something that i always have with me.

used to have a clip-on Snark that i used but the battery died and i never bothered tracking down a new one. not even sure where that thing is anymore. but if i ever start gigging again that's what i'll use.

It takes like 1 second to swap it to a new guitar lol. It was never even a thought to me about switching guitars

Yeah, using a clip on tuner is literally the easiest way to tune your guitar, even tuning multiple guitars at once.

Well, maybe not easier than those high tech guitars that tune themselves, but still.

Got this for Christmas. Already broke a couple strings doing some sweet dive bombs. Now I gotta figure out how to Floyd Rose...
