It happens, first time losing a rectifier for me. Powered everything up, cooked dinner, spent time with my son and when I took the trash out I saw everything off. SDFB saved the day. Reset everything not knowing what caused the trip and powered up one by one. Got to the UFO25 and a second or so after powering on the rectifier put on a light show and poof everything went off gracefully. Without the SDFB that would have likely been a pricy fuse up in smoke as well.
I put a cheap Raytheon 5U4GB in just to make sure all is well. For a $10 tube it sounds pretty good, very holographic but a bit on the brighter side for me. Looks like I’ll be on the rectifier rolling train or is it the rolling rectifier train? Either way, listening to Billy Strings live vol 1 Rueben’s Train and I’m already forgetting the blown tube.
