Yasseah Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Greetings mapz, I think it's time to change tubes because the 6505 is getting noisey. I've got Sovtek 6L6 WXT's in the power section, and I think the guy I bought the amp from said he'd put Sovtek ECC83JJ 12AX7's in the preamp. I love the sound of this amp but if I could slightly change the sound with new tubes I'd like something with a smoother, warmer treble- something a bit less harsh. I love how pissed off and aggressive this thing sounds though so I don't want to lose that. JJ's are known to be dark sounding but some say they are too dark/undefined and have reliability issues.

IainUM Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 why would you ban him for a link to the best boobz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Best Boobz is obviously a thread we need to have. I can't believe it doesnt exist yet! Cant help you with the 6505 on the smooth end. My buddy with a 6505 wasn't exactly going for a warm sound when he retubed it awhile back haha. This reminds me that I need to retube my JCM900 soon...

TheScotsman Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Man, don't you hate it when your tube gets noisy, and you gotta go find a warmer, smoother tube? A sure sign you got a real problem. Hell, I recommend penicillin, and a trip to the doc any time the tube is not warm and smooth. That aside, love to help, but no one has ever told a piper they needed an amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
