Soundcore Space Q45 battery completely failed after 7 months

I liked the sound quality of these headphones. Some of the user-friendliness wasn’t amazing, but the battery failed after 7 months of use and the company refused to stand by their defective product. What should I do now? I can’t spend this kind of money every half year. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it working again? The red light comes on when I charge it, but now they won’t even turn on.

Switch to KT88’s in my sub amp, or leave the EL34’s

My full range amp is a Peavey XXX 120 watt combo. It sounds awesome, but lacks low end, especially when I have it dialed nicely, so I also purchased a Splawn Competition 50 to run the low frequencies. I will technically be running them both full range, just EQing the Splawn nice and bassy. It will be going into a 2x12 cab with a UK V30 and a Cherry vintage UK g12k-85.

Admittedly, the Splawn handles plenty of low end already, but is it going to be that much more powerful with the KT-88s? I’m thinking so, since it is a dedicated low end amp. Anyone switched these tubes out in a similar amp?

Boxer tele for pickup swap?

I’m looking at one of these on Facebook marketplace for a really good deal. I like that it’s a tele and has jumbo frets, 12 inch radius, and the Japanese quality control. I want to turn it into a low-tuned metal guitar with a hot passive pickup in the bridge, something like a Bareknuckle or a Lundgren. My only question is, how is that going to work with this TBX tone control? The tone part of the sweep is only a 250k pot, so that sounds pretty unusable for metal, but the upper part sounds like it could be almost an onboard boost type effect? Anyone ever try this?
