Tell me which tubes to get, which rating and where to get them CHEAP for my 5150 EVH Block Letter.

JJ's? Rubys? Sovteks (in there now)...

I want ballsy, rocking fluidity for the PanzerBastard sound but tight modern gain when needed for thrash /death metal.

I'm running on 3 tubes right now or at least it looks/sounds like it...


Thanks!

do I have to replace the 12ax7 with the 6L6's?



toggletoggle post by Kinslayer at Sep 4,2007 6:05pm
I dont see the JJ 12AX7s on that site...



toggletoggle post by sinistas   at Sep 4,2007 6:09pm
12ax7 = preamp
6l6 = poweramp

The JJs are halfway down.

All those JJ ECC80... are 12AX7s or am I missing something. I don't see any JJ's that just say "12AX7".

Which of those three JJ EC's should I get?



toggletoggle post by Kinslayer at Sep 4,2007 6:17pm
I answered my own question. They are all 12AX7's obviously. I guess I should just spring for the more expensive ones.



toggletoggle post by blue  at Sep 4,2007 6:17pm
ecc83s is another name for 12ax7.

your best bet is to call them, tell them what the sound youre going for is, and theyll throw you whats right.

Word.

Thanks!

Do I have to replace the preamp tubes too or can I just buy 4 6L6's and swap those in...?



toggletoggle post by blue  at Sep 13,2007 4:40pm
when was the last time you changed the preamps?

power tubes die quicker than preamp, but if youve had the pres in there for longer than a yearish, id change them.

You guys are talking funny talk.



toggletoggle post by Kinslayer at Sep 13,2007 4:51pm
They've prob been in there over a year, yeah...

Fuck.

BLUE:

can I get cheap boogie tubes at cost from GC and use them? are they matched?

What other tubes does GC carry? I'm broke and getting the bone out deal from Adam at GC would be stellar. I need to retube this thing ASAP.



toggletoggle post by blue  at Sep 27,2007 4:09pm
yeah, a quad of mesa 6L6 will work fine. just make sure its a packaged set of 4. its either mesa or GT at GC, id stick to the mesa.



toggletoggle post by Kinslayer at Sep 27,2007 4:50pm
Damnit. They dont have any and he cant bone out boogie gear anyway, I forgot...

He's got a match quad of GT 6L6S tubes with a 6 rating for $75



toggletoggle post by blue  at Sep 27,2007 4:52pm
id go for those. i forgot about boogie gear, its been too long for me i guess.



toggletoggle post by Kinslayer at Sep 27,2007 5:02pm
I want a lower rating than 6...I never crank my head past like 5...



toggletoggle post by blue  at Sep 27,2007 5:03pm
