Sent my support reply. Us baby boomers who don’t know what we’re doing need a good supplier for our blind pursuit of non-existent tone.

Same here.
A little encouragement might yield wonderful results!

Pile it on!

Yeah, I added EL34, 12AU7 and 12AX7 although I only use 12AX7s and I'm 100% 6L6 type of a guy since forever. I hope they will proceed

I know I'm a broken record, but you guys should add 5751 before AU and AY 7's!

My Fryette Sig:X runs on KT88’s, I made sure to give that a click too.

True. 5751 saved the face of a clean channel in my Rockerverb. I forgot about that one

Study it boys. Or, ask EM7. The 5751 is the best lower gain replacement for an AX7. It is more comparable in all the other aspects, but just lower gain.

Sounds good. Hopefully they got the message.

I hope it works.

The amount of hands-on labor used in the manufacturing of these tubes is impressive.
I can see why they charge what they do for their products.

Didn't see EF86 or 6550 tubes so I mentioned them in my feedback.
