New Guy from Chicago Area

Hi All

I have been playing guitar for a while. I kind of like to think I am OK at it. Just ordered a JCA50H and waiting for that to arrive. I primarily use a Bugera 333XL w/Inf. and some Ibanez RG421 of various flavors. I used to play out a lot but now I just record with friends. I would like to think I could bias the JCA50H on my own.

You can check out my latest stuff here. Some of it is just bits of tunes. But hey, it's free :-)

Welcome! I am a bit surprised you did't bring any beef sandwiches for us but I guess I can let it slide...

See my sig for the main JCA thread. Great stuff there :thu:

PS - yes, bias isn't too hard, but you gotta adhere to some fundamental safety rules. You'll need a bias probe, too. And plan on some extra $$ for tubes - the stock ones kinda suck - at least the power tubes and V1, V2, and V5.

Nice! I need some hot giardiniera! Thankfully we have a couple good Chicago places here. Rosati's and Amore are both out of Chicago. They make good stuff. Close enough for government work anyway.
