i know a lot of guitars, pickups, amps, playing techniques and a lot else BUT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TUBES....
i know the main ones used are 6L6 tubes for the modern bold sound and the EL34 tubes for the marshall crunchy spongy sound.... i know 12Ax7 are standard pre amp tubes.....
that;s about it. I know there are several different aftermarket tubes and that mesa used chinese.
THAT's IT
where is a good place to start to learn? I have a road king 1 head with stock tubes. I understand a lot of people keep same tube type but change manufactueres (IE STOCK 6L6 to JJ 6L6)......
also i am getting a mark iv soon once i find one. i've heard they perform better with 6V6 tubes whatever those are....
