my suggestion is to use NOS tubes.. look for Mullard 12AX7s, or Telefunkens.. i don't like newer tubes.. except for the Ei 12AX7s, and some of the chinese tubes for clean.. i have a NOS 1958 Amperex 12AX7 in V1 and a NOS 1960's GE 7025 in V2 and it fits what i'm doing.. Sovteks and JJs are pretty much crap, IMO.. compared to NOS tubes.. the GEs have a decent gain, but it's not the Mesa-Type gain, it's more like a JCM-800 type gain.. the V1 is for the cleans and the V2 is for the distortion.. your going to have to play around and switch out tubes until you get the tones that you are searching for.. Here is the truth: this line, at which we must stand until we are allowed to walk across and give our papers to be examined by an officer who is entitled to ask us more or less anything. At the frontier, our liberty is stripped away -we hope temporarily- and we enter the universe of control. Even the freest of free societies is unfree at the edge, where things and people go out and other people and things come in; where only the right things and people must go in and out. Here at the edge, we submit to scrutiny, to inspection, to judgment. We must be passive, docile. To be otherwise is to be suspect. - Salman Rushdie, Step Across This Line __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail for Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
