Hey guys,
I have done minor tube-tinkering with my 5:50 head, (Doug's recommended recipe and lower gain tubes in V2, etc), but after a little frustration, I'm back to JJ 12AX7s and Winged C power tubes.
Well, now after a little research, I'm going to try a little more tube-swapping. I'm actually getting too much OD in the Crunch channel, and would like to experiment to see what I can get from from a tamed Burn channel.
I am looking to try a couple of TAD 6L6 WGC-STR short bottles in the power section, a couple of GE 12AU7s in V2 and V3, and maybe Mesa SPAX7s in the rest of the slots.
And since you have to search around for various threads on tube changes, I thought it would be cool to have one thread with the various tube cocktails out there.
As soon as I get my tube order together and am able to test some combinations, I'll report back. In the meantime, if you've found a cool combination, list what you were after, the tubes you settled on and what slots they are in, and what you achieved.
