Never seen anything like this. I sent the pic to Mort and he asked if it was laser cut lol. PI tube in my EVH 50 watt. I went to fire the amp up at practice last night, and had absolutely no sound. Not even hiss, just total silence. Took a look at the tubes, and this one was white. I had to use a Katana 100 watt combo, and we only got through one song before I was about to light that piece of shit on fire lol. I hate those amps so much. Anyway, got home and just the glass came out when I went to change the tube. Amp works fine after I swapped it out, and now I have this hilarious pic that I figured you guys wouldn't mind seeing lol.

I like 5150s. The rest of you bullshit amps can get fucked.

Nope. Have never seen one of those before. Laser cut is a good description. Almost appears to be sabotage!
Re: super clean tube break
Endtime suggested maybe the glass wasn't heated enough to fully glue together. Pretty interesting.
This is an old OEM EVH tube from a previous EVH that I had. In the past, I always swapped out the stock tubes and set them aside, so now I have a shit load of them haha.
