  1. Myles, You recently suggested some tubes for me for my JCM800 2x12 combo to reduce the volume and get a sweet overdrive, but still have some clean headroom. Fortunately for me, my friend Obeid Khan at Stl Music helped me out with some old GE tubes and fixed me up big time. The amp is singing like it is supposed to. Thanks though for your suggestions.

  2. Thanks Myles, I will check them out asap. durwood
  3. Myles, The other day, you responded to Reif about tubes for a Marshall 800 with the suggestion of EL34LS as they put out 30watts. I have a Marshall JCM 800 4104 50 watt combo and the sucker is louder than I will ever need, so I am not inclined to go with a more powerful tube, unless it just sounded too good and there was a way to cut my output. Is pulling out one power tube an option? Or is a hotplate or airbrake, the only way. Money, as always, is an issue. I am after the 60's- 70's era rock(Hendrix, Mayall era Clapton, Jeff Beck) and blues sound- no shred tones. I play a strat clone. I would be happy to bag my peddles if I could drive my output well enough to get a sweet gain, but I want to have some clean headroom in a small to mid-size club room. Is there another tube configuration that you would suggest? Am I dreaming? I have been on your GAB site which is great, but the information is almost overwhelming. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Darren
  4. Myles, When you say, "12AX7M's...or ECC83s...depending...." to the question about tubes for the 50 watt Marshall combo, which does what? And what is the flavor of the E34LS? dur
