After reading Gearjonser's and Rocker35's preamp tube shootouts, among many others, I am eager to do my own shootout, only I have no idea where to start with preamp tubes, and I am looking for some reccomendations. So far, the GT 12AX7 C looks like a definite contender. Also, I'm considering the JJ's, EH's, Ei, all 12AX7's for now. I'm sure there are more out there, and I would like some input as to others to try.
For reference, I'm using a Mesa Boogie Rectoverb II. I'm almost completely satisfied with the sounds I'm getting, but I would like a more high-mids to highs (that Marshally frequency), and a little more body on the clean channel. I don't know if any combination of tubes can get me there, but I'd like to try!
I think 5 tubes should be a substantial competition: What do you guys reccommend? Thanks!
