I popped in some Marshall ECC83 and theres this richness in its clean tone that I've missed. Are these tubes low gain? They sound much better than the chinese 12ax7-B tubes that were in the preamp.
Then i took those 12ax7's and popped them in my EHX English Muff'n. I figured since these are high gain, theyd be better suited for the mild flavored 12aY7's it originally had. Those stock EHX ones were no where near the flesh shearing, fire breather that it is now.
Now its a stack in a box.
so, I ask...
What type of tubes for a EL84/ECC83 amp change the character and add in color to your tone?![](https://forum.seymourduncan.com/core/images/smilies/scratchchin.gif)
All I know is a low gain 12ay7 pair took care of the sizzle-farts that my amp was spittin, and i can get a great tone.
