Mark III tubes?

[dennq45]

Just wondering what everyone is using in their Mark III's for power tubes and pre-amp tubes.

MKIII Power:
- Mesa STR430 6L6. OK, I suppose ...I like the SED Winged-C in my DC5 better than the 430s ...I'll eventually try them in the MKIII).
- Mesa's NOS Siemens EL34 ...LOVE these!

Preamp:
- V1: TungSol RI 12AX7 ...nice tube; I use em a lot.
- V2 and V3: NOS Mullard CV4024 (12AT7). Unbelieveable tubes! I had NOS RCA AT7s in and I like them a lot; huge improvement over the AX7s. But the Mullards are another increment of smoothness and sweetness over the RCAs.
V4 (PI slot): RCA NOS 12AT7

This is my final recipe after much trial/error. I love the overall results, especially in the Lead and R2 Voices. Happy swapping!

I have GT 6L6GEs, a mix of JJ and GT preamp tubes. Had an NOS GE 12AX7 that went microphonic, but it sounded the best.
