Replaced the Preamp tubes on my RX Junior with NOS
www.kcanostubes.com and it never sounded so good. I mean it sings with a sweetness and tone this amp never had until now. (Grainy and harshness Gone!) Very touch sensitive with chimey blooming notes. And when driven hard it just sings to my ears.
This amp always had chime but it was percussive with a rough breakup and an overabundance of treble to the point of harshness, (to my ears).
But now it really has that something that I was looking for.
I contacted Myles the tube Guru and he steered me in the right direction. He has an awesome Web sight for those of you who don't know called Guitar Amplifier Blueprinting. Myles is one of those guys who really knows his ****!
So I would like to thank Myles and all the other members who gave me positive feedback. Without Myles suggestion I think I would have literally sold this amp.
For those of you who thought my message was suspicious or Z bashing rest at ease. Amplifiers are a totally subjective entity and what works for one mans ears doesn't always work for another.
There are lots of great amps out there and that's why people usually own more than one, including other makers as well.
