Been thinking about getting an old tube caddy off of ebay but would prefer something newer. So what do ya'll say? takle box? I thought valve queen sold something similar at one time.

Yeah - thats where I'm at now. I'm too OCD to leave 'em in bags.

Would something like a cheapy pistol case work? I bet it would.

Currently they're holding warhammer minis I need to sell, but I have 4 pistol cases and no pistols.

Now that I think of it - it could have been the "tube cube" I saw. For the money I would think a pistol case would be cheaper.

Random little cardboard boxes, strewn with no regard for organisation or tidiness all over our band lockup.

I got to invent some kind of other needless product, like these specialized tube cases, so I can get rich from all you OCD guitarists with too much time and money to spend on the internet :lol:

fucking ziplock bag them, or shoe box them, or whatever dude!

In the fucking boxes they came in. The only thing I did was label the boxes so I know which tube was for which amp/slot.

Wrapped in lettuce and stored in the crisper.

Don't have any tubes anymore, but I used to just keep them in their boxes and all in some other box. If I was having to transport them around on a tour or something, yeah I might consider a case type thing. But for just keeping 'em at home? A box worked perfectly fine for me. If I was more anal about it I might have just fashioned a more ordered storage box out of a box and some spare bits of cardboard to make inserts or something... but for whatever reason, I was never all that picky about storing my tubes. :idk:

Pretty simple:

Good Tubes in amp.

Bad tubes in trash.

Cirrus · Post by **Cirrus** » Mon Feb 18, 2013 6:25 am

Something to remember about tubes is that they share a property with water; they are essentially incompressible. So they can't be stored in a container that's smaller than they are.
