I've been thinking about playing around with the preamp tubes in my amp, and was just wondering if anyone can tell me what the likely effect is going to be. The Traynor I've got has two 5881s in the output section (Cathode biased), and three 12ax7s in the preamp. It's a two channel amp with reverb. Are there any hard and fast rules for this? Specifically,
1. Which tube has the greatest effect on the amount of distortion on the gain channel?
2. Which tube would have greatest effect on overall volume of the amp?
