I'm changing the tubes on my 5150 in a couple of weeks (for the first time!) and wanted to know what are the best tubes, type and brand, I should put in?
Style of music includes: chevelle, tool, deftones. i currently have a gibson les paul w/ EMG81 pickups, 12 gauge strings tuned to drop C, and amp setting is pre gain 6, bass 10, mid 10, treble 5, presense 5, resonance 5. that should give you an idea of what kind of sound i'm currently getting. i play through a marshall JCM 900 (1960) w/ celestian speakers.
thanks for everyone's help!

The have nice power and warmth. Nice big full tone. For preamp tubes I usually mix and match till I get the sound I want. I like the EH, JJ, and Chinese 12AX7's. If you get in touch with Doug's Tubes He'll hook you up. Doug is a great guy with great service and prices. He does a killer job of matching and testing the tubes. The bias mod really helps if your 5150 doesn't have it yet. Jerry |
