  • tonal description different brands of tubes

    can someone sticky a thread describing different brands of tubes and how they sound/act?
    Regarding any post I've made before 2018, assume I've changed my mind by now.

    It would be completely meaningless.
    A 100 different answers, from 200 different people, playing 200 different guitars and amps.
    YOU need to try them for yourself.

          New Sensor makes damn near everything that comes out of russia. All sovteks the tung sol and EH amongst others are all New Sensor.


          To the OP your better off asking what people have had good experience with in YOUR amp. Too many variables to make just a list of tubes be very meaningful.
          "It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you." -Bon Scott

          "Let me put it this way: the 5150 will treat
          you better than any girlfriend, because it screams louder, it's easier to pick up, and it shuts up when you take your plug out." -Rip Glitter

              RBox,
              As well, check with Doug Preston @ Doug's Tubes....he has an uncanny sense of what sounds good in what amps........ He has some good test equipment (and uses it) unlike many other dealers.....
