Title: tube recommendations
Post by: casken on June 21, 2009, 08:27:22 PM
Time to get new tubes.  I'd like a tad warmer tone a little smoother and deeper with a new tube set.  Any recommendations?

Pre amp?
I bought some Tube Amp Doctor 12AX7 tubes. those were a lot warmer then the regular JJ's (at least in my amp)
Cheers

I would highly recommend that you spend a couple of bucks on some NOS tubes for V1 + V2

I have installed Tungsram NOS ecc83 in mine. They sound amazing... Have also tried NOS mullard ecc83, in a OTS I built for a friend... They sound extremely good...

Check out ebay for NOS tubes :)

I just swapped out the stock tubes with a pair of svetlana 6L6's, a bit smoother, more vintage sounding.  Just Fyi these are the real russian made ones

Anyone tried TAD 6L6WGC's in their OTS?

I was told a while back that these are what Two Rock use in their amps so figured they must be pretty good!!

That's what I just bought to put in my OTS once I'm finished building. I have no idea how they sound yet nor did I know this is what Two Rock uses. I just heard good things about them.
