Hobbies?

Thanks! good to see you as well.

Very cool, I wish I could build my own gear. I guess some tubes might be a bit harder to get now? A few of my guitar gearhead buds are concerned.

Yeah, some are going away, but they are being replaced by others.  Technology now is such that there are tubes now with the same pin outs and voltages which will accomplish the same thing, just a different manufacturer.  I'd be really surprised if tubes for Marshall will ever be unavailable, there's way too much demand.  Now, some other obscure off-brand stuff from long ago might not be able to get tubes, but again, it's a demand issue.

Yep. Tube production has been and will continue to be a problem. More so now due to Russia's response to the sanctions.

Rhett Schull posted a vid about tube production recently. Guitars, and music in general, is a hobby of mine too. I went nuts last year and picked up an AxeFX III and I really don't think about amps any more. The AFX overkill for me, but I hope to put it to good use very soon. I'm trying find (and balance) time to work on two new musical projects.
