So I got my new tubes and put them in today.
=C= EL34's
Tung-Sol 12ax7 in V1
JJ ECC83 in V2
Mullard 12AT7WA in V4
All the other preamp and rectifier tubes are stock.
I didn't test each preamp tube individually but I'll probably give that a shot over the next couple of days to see if I notice...
Just wanted to see what tube you guys are running in your effects loop and if you are happy with it.
I'm thinking about picking up a JAN-Philips 5751 or a Sovtek 5751 to put in my effects loop based on those tubes having very little noise. But before I place an order, I just wanted to see what...
Thanks for the reply.
I've been researching this for the last couple of days now and I'm thinking about only replacing my V1 and V2 tubes. I'm thinking about going with Tung-Sol 12AX7's based on the number of positive reviews I've read.
At least I can use that as a starting point to see how it...
I'm one of those that are against EQ pedals. The less stuff my signal runs through the better.
I'm really interested in giving the EL34's a shot. For the few negatives I hear about, there are a lot more positives. One of the problems I've often had with this amp is that channels 3 and 4 sound...
Thanks for the replies guys.
And thank you Bottle Rocket for the detailed reply about what tubes you're using and how they changed your sound. I printed your reply to reference later when I go to order some new tubes :).
I actually run an OD808 in front of the amp and generally prefer that...
Thanks for the reply's guys. I picked up an MXR Carbon Copy and ran it through the loop... sounds great! Much better then the digital delays I had with my G-Major. I actually just picked up the Carbon Copy to see if it would work (and planned on returning it either way)... but I may end up...
I'm almost certain I want to switch from my stock 6L6's to EL34's. I love my Roadster, but I still feel like it's a little too boomy, and there aren't enough mids. For that reason, I think the EL34's will be exactly what I'm looking for. I don't play any metal, mostly just rock (which makes me...
I've had a G-Major for about the last year but I've never loved it. I want to ditch the one-size-fits-all MFX unit and switch to pedals. I'm also starting to gig now and I don't trust the G-Major enough to keep it in my rack.
I currently only have 1 pedal... an OD808 which I use as a boost at...
