Hi all,
I've had my LSC (2x12 combo) for almost a year, and the stock tubes are starting to develop some crackling noises here and there, so it's getting to be time to retube. The amp tends to have a bit too much upper midrange that can't be dialed out, as the tone stack is Fender style, with the mid control centered around the lower midrange. I changed the speakers to Weber Californias, which does help with that somewhat. However, I have been thinking that perhaps new tubes are the next thing to try, and I am wondering if anyone here has experienced this same issue and found a tube combination that sounds good, or has any other recommendations (a setting that might not be intuitive, for example).
