What are you guys using in the 12ax7 position? I'm just trying to fine tune the amp. I get so crazy about tone (like we all do). It currently has a Sovtek.
Thanks!

I'm using the Sovtek 12AX7 LPS that came with it. I did get a new one when I replaced my power tube though.

Hey bro,
I was using at GT 12AX7-R2 but I can't seem to find that tube anywhere around town, so last night I put a JJ ECC83-S in there and it sounds KILLER!!
In fact, I'm going to replace all of the power tubes with JJs. I'm sick of having to buy Groove Tubes every six months as they wear out.
The Sovtek stuff is nice, too.

NOS JAN Raytheon. NOS tubes sound much better than new production tubes, and in the preamp and rectifier positions they should last long enough to justify the extra cost.Power tubes burn up too fast no matter how well they're made, so it's generally not worth it to put NOS EL84s in. Try NOS in the preamp and recticier though. You will be surprised at how much better they sound, and they will last a LOT longer also.
