Thermionic Emission
I love valves (tubes to you, if you're American). I've had an unhealthy fascination with them for as long as I can remember. I'm a bit of a tube snob where guitar amplifiers are concerned, too. Davidd lent me a tripod today, so I took the opportunity to capture these wonderful things in action. They're not too exciting in full daylight, but in darkness you can see the splendour of ionisation and other scientific jiggery pokery.
For those of you who care, this is an EL84 pentode from the back of my Peavey Classic 20. A pair of these would normally put out about 17 Watts. More than loud enough to annoy the neighbours.
