  1. I've got one of these puppies, and they are set up like this: OOOO (top) OOOO (bottom) I've had good luck going with the JJ el84's, and Jan Phillips 12AX7's and 12AT7's respectively.
  2. Hi. everyone. My name is KHAN, and I'm a TUBE-O-HOLIC.
  3. Hi. Myles directed me to the NOS JAN Philips 12AX7WA for my Bandmaster. If you are looking for the 'classic Fender sound', IMO you can't go wrong with these for about $17 each. My favorite new tube would be the JJECC83S, but that of course is a personal preference. I also really like the 12AX7C9 (Chinese). The Ei didn't really float my boat, but the new producion tubes are so affordable, you are doing yourself a dis-service by not checking them out for yourself. Trying out different tubes is half the fun. Enjoy the ride.
  4. I don't need no stinking EL34's!!!!!!!!!! Myles, now that my Bandmaster is right I'm going to get going on my Hotrod DeVille 4-10 OUTPUT: I'm probably going for a pair of 6L6GE's here. The original tubes are the blue Groove tubes. Would you recommend staying with the blues, or a different color and a re-bias? I'm going for versitality in ths amp for the most part. V1: I'm thinking NOS JAN Philips. I'd like to get as close to the classic Fender chime as possible. Any Suggestions? V2: ????????????????????????????????? No clue here. Currently not happy with the distortion here. Kind of buzzy. Way too distorted by the time the knob gets to 4. Any suggestions for something that will retain a nice tone, and lower the gain???? V3: Probably a balanced NOS JAN Philips 12AX7 here as well. Is there anything else that would be a big improvement over that? Thanks
  5. Myles, with the success of the GT6L6GE, is there any chane that Groove Tubes will ever produce a classic 7025 ? That would certainly make my day.
  6. Myles. First off I just want to take a moment to thank you for the information you've provided on the forum and on your site. My tone has improved significantly in all of my tube gear in a very short period of time due to the lessons learned here. My question is about how close the sides of a 12AT7 or 12AX7 need to be to be considered 'balanced'. My current tube provider marks his tubes on the box, or on the tube with something like : 102/100 or 96/96 . My question is, how close of a match do you consider close enough to be considered 'balanced' for a phase inverter? Thanks.
  7. Thanks Myles. A G A I N ! ! !
  8. Hi Myles. I'm lost on this AC-30 thing. Going by the photo below, can you tell me what the pre-amp tube configuration is? (V1, V2 etc.) Thanks. http://www.voxshowroom.com/northcoast/images/products/new_amplifiers/ac30service/chart.jpg
  9. Hi Myles. Just wanted to let you know that those JAN Phillips tubes you recommended sound great in my '68 Bandmaster. I built a new cab for it to make it a combo with a pair of Jensen P10R's. I was wondering what you would prefer in current production tubes for a Vox AC30 (new). A friend of mine got a good deal on a floor model, but the tubes are in bad shape.
  10. Myles. Thank you for your response. Most people who have valuable info want to keep it that way. You are to be commended for giving away yours so freely. I look forward to learning more from you in the future. -KHAN
  11. Myles, thank you for your recommendation of Doug Preston at Dougs Tubes . I just placed an order with him, and I must say, he is a pleasure to deal with. I told him that you recommended him. On your advice (from a previous post), I'm getting (balanced triode) JAN Philips 12AX7WA and JAN Philips 12AT7WC tubes for my '68 (AB763) Bandmaster. I also ordered a Sovtek 12AX7LPS (balanced) for the phase inverter on my 410 Hotrod Deville. When I can afford it, I want to get the JAN Philips 6L6WGB's you mentioned earlier. I made a mistake (before I went deep on your site) and got a matched pair of Svetlana 6L6GC's from The Tube Store . They seem to be OK, and assuming that I won at "Russian Roulette" (literally ...Svetlana ...Russian Roulette ...get it??? ...never mind) In general, what do you think of the Svets?? Thank for all your great info. It is very appreciated.
