Title: Change of preamp tubes in 5E3 tweed deluxe
Post by: taland on September 23, 2012, 08:17:12 PM
Is it posible to change the 12AX7 for another preamp tube (an AT or AU?) for less overall gain? Thanks, Arjen

12AY7's or 5751's are a good choice

But ultimately you won't gain any extra clean headroom...you aren't going to get louder cleans...just better control over the volume taper.
