So I picked up an older peavey classic 30 that needed a little repair so I went ahead and got a few tone stack mods, replacement caps, etc.... It also has a vintage celestion 75 speaker in it the guy had replaced the blue marvel with.
Now I need to retube it.
Suggestions?
I am looking for a nice clean channel and a "Marshally" type overdrive. When I mean Marshally, obviously its a peavey, but i mean BIG Chords like AC/DC stuff with lots of gain/saturation and articulate. Ring out every note in the chord, cut the mud... u get the idea..
I called Doug Preston he suggested this.
Tung Sol Reissue 12ax7
Penta 12ax7
Sovtek LPS
Mullard Reissue EL84's
Now I personally don't mind trying NOS tubes 4 the preamp if u have those suggestions also. I was thinking of trying (used of course)
Raytheon 12ax7 or Tesla 12ax7
Mullard Ecc83 (or something cheaper)
GE Long Plate 12ax7
thoughts?
