What to do about BACKUP TUBES???

[Hendog]

What do you guys think I need? A duet of Mesa 6L6's and 1 or 2 Mesa 12AX7's?

I'd buy:

3 to 7 Tung Sol 12AX7 Highgrade
1 or 2 JAN 5751
a quartett of SED "winged c" 6L6
a quartett of Mesa or JJ El34

and start some experiments.

Actually the boogie tubes in the amp will (probably) be the spare tubes afterwards ;-)

Thats certainly one way to do it.

Yep, I'm set. I'm using a quad of JJ E34Ls and the stock Mesas are my 'backups'. I'm also using several TungSols so I've got the stock Mesa preamps for backups now as well. I'm all set.
