Nomad 100 HD pretubes

What pretube are good for a Nomad 100 HD ran threw a 2x12 recto.

I have JJ pretubes in there now and they need replaced. I like the sound okay, but if there were quieter tubes, maybe something with more punch, and clearer highs.

I play everything from church music to metal with that amp.

When I had mine, I retubed with Electro-Harmonix 12AX7s, as well as the 6L6EH power tubes. Very big and robust, not quite as "polite" as the stock tubes.

has anyone ever found that the red labeled mesa power tubes ran to hot in there nomad. At least they are running a lot hotter than the JJ i had in it.

What about pretubes which tubes give what kind of tone

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I tried several tubes in my amp. EH, tesla, Sovtek. I ended up going with Mesa tubes. Mine are Green 6L6's and the 12ax7's are Mesa too. I know they are $$$, but I find that there is a hugh difference in tone. MHO.

mesa should do the job really well,but by all means try experimenting
