Tube aficionados, what would be a good selection of non-Mesa branded 12AX7 preamp tubes for V1 to V5 respectively? I play from sparkling clean to Hendrix and all things in between. Mainly blues, country/blues, contemporary country and rock.
I assume the Mesa branded ones in my amp are JJ's but I could be wrong. They sound fine but I'm looking to secure some replacements with improvements if possible. Besides, Mesa branded 12AX7 tubes are no longer available in Australia with nothing on the horizon in the near or possibly far future. I'm happy to mix and match brands to achieve the desired result in each position.
What would you choose, I have these to choose from,
