Best Tooobz For 6505+ For Smoother Top End


Yasseah

Recommended Posts

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.

Sed, Tung Sol?

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...

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.
