Ok, so I just ordered two, lower wattage, High gain Amplifiers! I’m really excited as I think they will be the perfect compliment to the Marshal TSL60 Head that I’ve modded with nos preamp tubes and new Production Genalex Russian Gold Lion KT77’s
The amps I’ve purchased are a Wildwood Custom Friedman Pink Taco! The other amp I got is an Orange Brent Hinds Terror!
For both of the amp, I got a set of NOS EL84’s, Telefunken’s for the Friedman and Mullards for the Hinds. I noted the Hinds to sound a bit treble heavy...Thought the Mullards could smooth things out a bit!! Also have a bunch of nos preamp tubes to “roll” until things are just right!
What I don’t have, and the reason for this post, is about the 12AT7, which is said to be for the “buffered Effects loop.” Now, I’m not looking to spend hundreds of dollars on a Telefunken or the Like, since I don’t know if the 12AT7 will have any effect on the actual tonality of the amp, or if there would just be a difference in how pedal’s would sound when played through the loop! I’m reading up as much as I can, it’s hard to find a straight answer! I’m all about having quality tubes in my amps(Yes, I’m one who can hear a definite tonal difference with nos tubes)
So what have ppl found with other amps w12AT 7’s for “Effects loops?” Any other tone changes When not using the loop?? Thanks in advance for the advice!!
