I'm thinking of ordering some new tubes for my Mark as their age/quality is questionable right now. I'm not looking to change toe tone so much as just improve what I already like. I don't want to jump on the JJ's sound like a blanket over your amp but these 6L6's just sound muffled to me for some reason... could be because I haven't used a 6L6 in a while.
I've read tons and tons about using an NOS V1 tube and people are also recommending the TungSol reissues as well.
As far as 6L6's, I'm keen to try the SED winged =C= as I've been reading good things about them forever.
Any and all recommendations would be helpful, I want the sweetest/smoothest possible clean tones out of R1 (love my R1 now) and also a great lead tone as well capable of brutal metal. I realize this is totally subjective but I'd be curious if there was a 'gold standard' out there for tubes and this amp.
