Scared shitless and angry too!

So I'm taking pictures of my triple rec. and my Los Lobottom so i can put them on ebay and i start thing "i should plug in my lobottom and make sure it works" so i set it up with my triple(effects loop set up) and let my triple warm up and start playing but the volume on my triple is sooo low. I figure i haven't hit the next boost(you know wut i'm talken about) but, then i turn it up more and more and still weakling power. I start freakin out(b/c i just replaced the power tubes 3/4 months ago) and call mesa they tell me to turn off the effects loop and try it b/c it could be my 4th preamp tube thats doing it. I do and i lower the master all the way but, the customer service guy forgot to tell me that when i turn off the loop the master and solo are bypassed(i was freaking out and during freak outs i can't read) so i have the master all the way and i'm crouched in front of my 4x12 but, i have the master on my lead channel just about all the way and i turn it on. I'll be hearing nothing for the next few years. i called him back up and with my impaired hearing he tells me thats good, I just need to replace the 4th preamp tube. Ohh and also my ear drums...

Or a PA system. Don't let dumbasses run the mixer while you're hooking up a 350watt powered speaker. It was on 0 gain and it was loud as fuck.

I bet the guy on the phone was laughing his ass off.
