    Default What to do with a duff valve?

    Justin of this parish asked me if I wanted a duff 211, what sort of question is that?

    The 211 is quite a chunky valve so I hatched a plan and said yes. The result is this:

    A slightly unusual table lamp, running off a 12V wall wart. Fortunately I had the bits and pieces in the junk box, plus a lot of Led's.
    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
