Work is taking me overseas (it's about time to leave anyways) and I have most of it figured out. I'm moving with two Brazilian friends and one US friend to Sao Paulo. Most of my stuff is moving with the Brazilians due to import taxes, I'm selling everything else. I'll be working a remote job in the US to provide a decent income, but I'm unsure if that will cause any tax/legal issues. I just know I can earn a lot more and be more stable doing it this way. As far as I see it, I'm paying taxes in the US so why would they care, and I'm spending the money in Brazil, so why would they care?

The only other (and possibly the biggest) problem is my dog. He's 8 years old and has never flown before, and there's no way I'd be going if I couldn't take him. People who have moved with dogs, how did it go? Any advice?

Any other useful bits of info or experience is appreciated 😄

Recently the power tubes on my amp blew, so I replaced them and the affected 12ax7 that went as well, and I also replaced all fuses, just to be sure. It lasted about a week before the same thing happened. Big flash from the back of the amp and then nothing. I went out and got a new set of power tubes, but that didn't do the trick.

Checking continuity, I'm getting power from the outlet, but it stops at the on switch. I know a little bit about amps, but I'm no electrician. What's going on with this thing? I've seen transformer come up a few times in my research.

It should also be noted that I sometimes play a 5-string bass tune to drop C# through this amp. Is it just too much for the amp to handle?
