Thanks very much Myles i really appreciate your help I'm living in the UK so I can find the RFT'S from watford valves but am struggling with the Brimar's? What are the tonal differences between these two valves. also could you recomend valves for V3 and V4 for the JVM thanks Si

Hi Myles I have a Marshall JVM 410H and i'm looking at revalving after a recent unsuccesful revalve (5x ECC83EH/SOV-CRYO's & 4x Harma EL34-CRYO's). I want to keep the Harma's as i feel they work well and don't affect the overall tone too much compared with the preamp valves. I hope im not insulting your knowledge by giving you each valves purpose in this amp ;0): V1, V2 gain stages, V1A, V2B are used in all modes, the rest is switched in/out depending on the mode. V3A: tone control buffer. V3B: channel mixer/ parallel loop send V4A: FX mix V4B: Reverb Mix V5: Phase splitter Im looking at spending as much as it takes to get this amp singing. The EH ECC83's i feel distort too early in this amp So im looking at Mullards in V1 & V2. The rest is a mystery to me apart from maybe a GT ECC83/SAG-MPI in V5? It Would be great to hear your opinion. Si
