Need suggestions on New Tubes

[acidsid75]

Hello
I want to change my tubes in my triple rectifier. I need more useable gain and the sound is very mushy. I have been reading around and was interested in the integrated sextet set with a high gain pre option sold by eurotubes. Has or does anyone use this? Also I have read good things about Groove Tubes. I want a heavy channel (Killswitch Engage, ect.), a good rock old school heavy metal channel and the third channel be a good clean channel that brakes up good when driven by an overdrive pedal (Boss sd-1). Any suggestions will greatly be appreciated.

I have his hi-gain preamp set for the mark IV and matched quad for the mark IV.

All it will be in that set will be 4 ECC83S's and one PI ECC83S. + 6 matched 6L6's.

They go sweet in my mark IV, I'm sure they'll do the same to your triple recto.

I put the Eurotubes setup in my Champ and a set of matched hi gain ECC83S's in my Cream Machine which worked very well. Can't go wrong with Bob at Eurotubes.

I use Svetlana 6L6GC's in my Recto. Very harmonically rich, plenty of thump. I also like to dime the clean channel gain and boost with a Wylde OD, which is similar to the SD-1.....very old school sounding.

My personal fav is the Eurotubes high gain kit with GZ34/5AR4 rectifier tubes. Really wanted to try the JJ power tubes as well, but I lost a tube at rehearsal the other day and couldnt wait the 3-5 days shipping. Ended up using the STR454's (Svets I believe?) and they are not bad at all. Still going to try the JJ's. Triple-rec for hard rock/prog/old-school metal.

I love the JJ E34Ls. I have a set of those in my Recto, and absolutely love them. I've had Svets, Sovs, and about anything else in there, and always keep going back to JJs. I also like their 6L6s, but not nearly as much as the E34Ls. They have a high end bite, and more grit than 6L6s.
