Good luck, man. Bet you were crapping bricks when that thing fell. Let me know if me and my guys can do anything for you - we're already prayin'!

Personally, I would ask Shredd about that. He's a tube guru, man. Cheers!

Gorgeous. Just like Bob's description on Eurotubes. They've got the bass of a 6l6 (that "oomph" when you palm mute and such), but the midrange has a lot more character, more like classic Marshall bite. It's a solid midpoint between the two worlds. I run 2 in a Single Rec, and love them -...

How are current production Mullards? Judging by my style of music, should I go after a RFT or Raytheon? It sounds like a change in V1 and V2 would make the most noticeable difference. Thanks for all the help - this is my first personal Mesa (non-studio) and my first retube with this guy!

No, honestly I was waiting for you opinion. He relisted, so I've still got a chance. Can you check the auction out and see if there's anything I need to jump on?

Not a gamble at all. Shredd, I really do appreciate you taking the time to help out like this. My only real question is....what do I look for when shopping for vintage 12ax7's? Are there particular brands/builds (short/long)/names I should be watching out for? Like this auction, for example...

I'm definitely looking into NOS, and will certainly have to do a lot more research before I jump into that world! For the meantime, what's the general view on JJ ECC83s's these days? I know I liked them in my old XXX and JCM800, but apparently they've got a hate following now. I also talked...

*Waits patiently for guru advice*

bump!

Hey, I appreciate it, guy. I can't stand these Tung-Sols - plan to golf with them. Seriously. I'll probably pop in modern 12ax7's, as NOS are a bit expensive at the moment. But definitely in the works....

Hey, no insult. I hate them, too. I've had JJ preamps that sounded much better. After researching, your offering sounds wicked, but a bit out of my league right now as far as cash. Is there a cheaper solution for the time being? Obviously this is just a starting point.

Just a curious question for my Mesa 'migos - what's a good basic tube arrangement for a Single Rec preamp? I'm just looking for a good starting point, and while my friend @ Dougstubes may be helpful, he suggested the same formula for the Mesa as he did for my old Peavey XXX. I'm looking for...

I'm looking for more saturation, less buzz, and more clarity, if that makes any sense. I cover a wide range of music, from classic to modern - Alter Bridge, Circa Survive, Thrice, Between the Buried and Me, and Dream Theater, for example on the modern end. When I bought the Single Rec, it...

Ah, tubes. Sorry, should've been more specific.

No one?
