more toys than talent
So the tube finally came in! I spent about 2 hours putting in several different types in V2.
All of the tubes gave the amp a new and different personality.
If I played more clean stuff or was more talented I would certainly like the 5751 but it was not for ME.
The Mullard was loose and hot with gain very fun and my #1 choice at first.
A Tungsol was also VERY different like the 5751 was but again not for ME.
The JJ that it came with was right down the middle. I also had another JJ that I went back and forth with the original and it won out as the #1.
The amp now is almost perfect with the EL34s and the perfect tube in V2. I do wish I could reduce some of the tightness ( I know that is the opposite of how the amp was designed!).
It's Killer!!
