What happened?
No. wrong. they are the ones recommended for use in Mesas but they are not as tight or ballsy. They're not bad, just not as good as the Mesas or Sovtek and you can tell a difference.stokes said:The idea of using an SPAX7 is that it is supposed to be quieter,and if so would be most beneficial in V1 which is the first stage of gain,even the slightest noise here gets amplified thru each following stage.I am guesing the Ruby 6L6 you tried isnt in the correct bias range for your amp,if I am not mistaken Ruby is a Chinese tube and is likely the same as the Chinese STR-440 Mesa sells.
