If you are just getting into tube amps or simply looking to maintain an amp you have owned for years, when considering what brand of valves to buy there is something you should know about modern vacuum tubes... they suck, and yes, vintage tubes are really better.
Most guitar amps use the 12AX7 in the first gain stage for good reason – they are loud, clear, and pack a punch. But here’s the secret: preamp tubes are swappable! Wherever you’d normally find a 12AX7, you can switch it out with a 12AU7, 12AT7, 12AY7, 12AV7, or 5751 without harming your amp.
Did you know? The type of “plate” in your vacuum tube can determine your amplifier’s tone and performance. Although it may seem like something to ignore, plates can govern things such as quietness, bass & treble range, longevity, and tonal quality...
