And I liked it, but I got a question for the tube swappers..
I recently swapped out the 12ax7 for a 12at7 and like the tone better, but I don't like the fact I have to crank it to about 1:00 or 2:00 to get any hair...... is there a tube that will do what I want while still getting the hair sooner?
The reason I liked the 12at7 better is it gives the Rati more "bounce" and a little more top end while still keeping the low end in tact (and a little tighter). Gives it more chime too.
Any suggestions?

Well, you're talking the PI slot right? Tough call... what you want is a "brighter" 12AX7? 12AT7's are thin & bright by nature... they don't make good preamp tubes (but are commonly used as PIs). Since I've spent my life searching for WARM 12AX7s, I can't help you!
You could try a 5751... I think it's got slightly more gain than an AT7, altho not as much as an AX7...

Telefunken!!!!!!
The 12AT7 has less gain , so if you are wanting a little more hair you are probably going to have to go back to a 12AX7. But get a good one and you won't loose your tone and chime that you like so well.!

5751 tubes are brighter and smoother than 12AX7's. IMO.
