In one of my previous threads someone (thanks memberzonly) had recomended possibly swapping out the pre tubes to help reduce the amout of "bite" that the Stiletto has. Being that I've played solid state amps for the last 20 years and the Stiletto is my first real tube amp, I'm at a loss for where to start or what to expect. I'm also not at all familiar with the various options that might be available.
I'm wondering if some of you out there might be able to give me some additional advice on which way to go or even what to stay away from. I need to educate myself on the various tube options.
A little background. The Stiletto, as the name suggests, has a different tone from the traditional dual and triple rectifiers and was disigned with the EL34's to cut through the mix. This thing sounds awesome and I love it but it's got a little too much bite for my taste even with modest eq'ing. I'de like to try to tame it a little but still maintain the basic tone it has. This thing has got to be the clearest/cleanest distortion I've ever heard.
Any suggestions, tips, hints, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
