Tubes are not going to change the basic character of the amp and the amp is a bit underpowered for jazz for most, better suited to blues or crunch. You need more clean headroom. Try a 5751 in V1 and/or a 12AT7 in V2. This will never be a clean amp other than at very low levels. Myles, Thanks for getting back to me. I just need clean tone at "living room" levels. Thanks for the advice. So, you prefer the AT7 over the AY7 that Caevan recommended?

Hey Myles, If you read the forum posts, you are probably aware that I just scored an Ampeg GVT15-112. Like most players, I seek the "Jazz Holy Grail of Tone". I want a tone that is: 1. CLEAN!!! 2. Smooth 3. Liquid 4. Mellow The tubes in the amp are as follows: 2-6V6 2-12AX7 Could you make any recommendations regarding tube substitutions that would contribute to achieving that tone? Thanks for your help. _________________________ If you play cool, you are cool.
