skidder652003 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 So I got my DHA VT-2 Preamp pedal serviced last week and while there got 2 new valves fitted, a couple of Harma Retro ecc83's from Watford Valves. Well what a difference, played a tiny back street boozer Ale festival last night, No backline, straight from the pedal into the PA and it sounded bloomin' fantastic. Really really rich tone, very clear but just that hint of dirt if you dug in, Im thinking I dont even need my Ampeg Rig anymore, seriously it was that good!

Dood Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The Harma valves are very good. It’s no secret they are rebadged valves, but in order to get the Harma name they are seriously tested so only the best of the bunch get selected. I’d always used STR’s but I do want to give the Retro models a spin for their Mullard tones. Great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 yeah I was told these ones were over-specced (whatever that means) as the Tec had a bit of a ding dong with Watford Valves over what he thought were a dodgy batch, turns out his calibration gear wasnt up to scratch! They sound really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
