 Grin After recent preamp tube change in my Bluesmaster...  I have found my preferred 12AX7's ...

Here's what I got going on:

Mullard ECC83 R.I. (in V1)

Tung-Sol 12AX7 (in V2)

Mullard ECC83 R.I. (in V3)

The Mullards have a really,really balanced tone but , they can be bright given certain applications.This is the first AX7 that I have turned the Pull-Bright Switch off (on the preamp vol). I am yet to find a tube  that is superior to the Tung-Sol 12AX7 that is under $20!

I believe I also have a Sovtek 5751 in my D-lator

Hope this helps some of you! Cheesy

i agree with you i put mullards RI in too and the tone is perfect....at all volumes
however an EH for V3 seems to give a little more clarity, albeit drives the output tubes a little less hard

I've tried several EH tubes and never had any success with them. The lows were always boomy ( if thats even a term? )

$ 18 is cheap. I looked around. Thery are difficult to find in Holland. I ordered a couple of Tung Sols. Not that expensive either and they say they are realy good.

Dito (exactly the same)
I don't care for Winged C though.

What I am using is
V1 = JJ 803s
V2 = JJ 83s
V3 = Sovtek LPS
V4+5 = JJ 6L6's

I'm still experimenting but it is getting closer to the sound I want.
I will be ordering a C-Lator kit in the next 2 - 3 weeks so it will be interesting to see what eveyone is using there

Interesting subject

I have  OTS 50-Watt, what are the best tubes to get me closer to a TR Classic Reverb clean tone?

 Two Rock has multiple proprietary circuit designs, that being said tube changing won't necessarily get you there.

  Most of their amps are based around the non-hrm vein although. The Classic Reveb has a buffered loop and that will change the sound also, not to mention the reverb circuit is crucial to the design platform also.

 And to note:

The 50w Classic Reverb is tube rectified;
 the 100w solidstate rectified.

 The Classic Reverb is also a Steel String singer influenced amp having tweaks from the John Mayer sig amp/ The Sterling Sig ( Exact SSS clone ) and the Custom Clean ( Two-Rocks take on the SSS/150w Dumble Land Special " The white glove SRV amp") ala "texas flood" in a can
 

 ....... I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks, but what are considered the best tubes to use in a OTS 50-watt to maximize the clean channel, if that is a better question? 

Also, I get a booming (rattle the walls - like a bass player) bass when I only hit the low E string, is this a tube issue??

Thanks.
