So you guys have got me trying to be very discriminating with my VTH60 now, and my current aim with the amp is to improve the cleans to whatever degree I can. I'm trying to remove some high end harshness I am noticing. I can improve it some with an equalizer in the loop, but if a tube swap will smooth it out, I'm all for it. Based on that objective, what tube would you recommend??
BTW, I am so jazzed with a couple things right now, I gotta vent (in a good way).
1) I have an Earcandy Sovereign 1x12 scheduled to arrive tomorrow, got it for an unbelievable price - guess either nobody liked the color or nobody wants a 1x12 but me. Will be comparing it to my vintage Bassman 2x12 and an Avatar 2x12. Hope it is as good as advertised, I am trying to go as light and streamlined as I can get away with.
2) Just picked up a Peterson Stobostomp. Hated plunking down the $$ for this but one day with it and I'm a diehard advocate. I thought I had decent ears (and still think so) but this thing is the bomb. Comparing this thing to any Boss tuner is night and day. I won't even consider or refer to the Korg, Fender and other $20 gadgits as tuners anymore. Plus feature-wise, it is by all reports and seems so to me by ear to be true - true bypass and has a DI for acoustic (haven't used this yet, will over the holidays. It has many other special features as well, but this is starting to sound like an advertisment. For intonating a guitar, well, I've just never had my guitars sound this good before. Don't forget to answer my tube question!!
