Hi everyone,
I finally got rid of the tubes in my Budda SD 80 II, just got the matching cab too (once again, finally!). Believe it or not i didnt need to throw the tubes away, i sold em for 20$!
The Sovteks WA pre tubes werent horrible, but not great either. But the Chinese 6L6GC were pretty bad, and squeeled like stuck pigs! The amp still sounded suprisingly good with these tubes but there was a overlying harsh edge that i always hear with bad tubes.
Anyways, I have a matched quad of JJ 6L6 on the way and im gunna go get some pre amp tubes tommorow. Which pre amp tubes would you guys suggest for this particular amp? Should i go with JJ pres too? looking for a sweet, balanced tone that isnt edgy but is articulate. Do u think the JJ 6L6 that i ordered will work well in this amp?
Thanks
