From my post in a thread in the Ray section;
I did put NOS JAN 5751's in V1 & V3 of my RXJr...VAST improvement for me...now I REALLY dig that amp
Amazing really.

I've noticed a trend for me. In every amp I put a lower gain preamp tube in, it sounds better. Some still have plenty of drive they just sound smoother.

hey, i could try that,, you just keep comin up with the little tricks and tips,, now i try every amp i have with the "treb and bass on 9 and the mids dimed",, but i have this neurosis thing goin on, kinda like wantin to keep christmas going longer,, you know, you open all your presents and feel kinda shorted,, so i baby my amps,, for a few months, i played my rxes jr only on the low input, master on the back only on about 11 oclock,, dimed the volume on the front,, got along with this for a long time, seemed sweet,, then i got tired of that tone,, so tonight i hooked it up to a 2/12 cab with v-30s, used the high input, master the same, and only put the volume on about 1oclock, hit the boost switch and "oh mamma said knock you out", christmas in february,, i love these amps...

tele62, You're gonna' have to do better than that... DETAILS, MAN!! WE WANT DETAILS!!! Sweeter, a bit fatter as I feel your geeting/hearing more of the EL84 break up than front end distortion, still plenty-O-grind for me. Seems to take different guitars now w/o tweaking the tone stack (Vital in a live situation for me). AGAIN WITH MY DISCLAIMER; NOTHING at all wrong with the outa da box tone, just tweaking to fit ME with stuff I happen to have around here. TEHO

Glad to help James, or, at least send you down uncharted paths of tonal doom ;D I tend to require off center tonal tactics to get what I want out of an amp, so YMMV...and probably will.
