hello there myles.
could you spare just a sec for my problem,
i bought a few months ago after saving for a year a trace elliot C50 (owned by Gibson now btw), the manual says that four of the five ECC83's are used on clean and on overdrive, however when the overdrive boost (channel 3) is kicked on, a fifth preamp tube comes into the fray, another ECC 83 i believe, would it be possible to change this fifth tube to some sort of high gain tube so as to really emphasise the gain addition, cos it's a bit tame. something harder edged like a modern marshsall, it's still a bit vintage sounding just like the od without the boost, very little difference. i do love the normal drive channel but i would just love more of a change between theese two modes
one final thing, the output tubes are two Svetlana EL-34's, are these any good (i know nothing of this brand), would changing them improve the tone?
thank you very much.
