duderino Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 First, I'm new to the forum and would have posted in the ask miles thread but it was too big and my computer fucked up. Anyway. The amp is a JCM 800 2204 and the pickup is a seymore duncan JB. I'm wondering what tubes could be used to help make the sound darker, the JB's are bright and the amp is too and i don't want to mod it... I've been told that both JJ tesla and EH make (sell? whatever) preamp tubes that will "darken" the sound of the amp. Can you recommend any good ECC83 or 12AX7 combinations (ECC83 amd 12AX7 are interchangable? can they be used together?) that can achieve this affect? I'm really just looking for some ideas, brands and such to help me get started experimenting... And when mixing and matching pre amp tubes is there anything i should know, what i mean is, is there anything i could do to ruin perfectly good tubes or fuck my amp up? Also what are some power tubes that can overdrive easy? I'm kind of new to changing tubes and such, so if any of this is painfully stupid, just let me know. thanks in advance.
