Replace pre-amp tubes for Mesa LSS

[vintagecrunch]

I just picked up a new Lonestar Special 4X10 combo to gig with and over all I am happy with the clean and overdrive sounds... This is the only boogie I have ever enjoyed playin myself, have loved the sounds others have gotten with Boogies but I could never find on for me.

Being the tinkering type that I am and since I have always heard bad things about Boogie tubes, anybody got suggestions for changing the preamp tubes? Tube type, and do I need to change all 5 or just the tube shaping non reverb driving tubes. Also, any power amp EL84's I should look into. Thanks alot for the help.

If you like how it sounds, then Leave it as it is!!

Well I knew that was comming... Like I said I am just looking for some ideas to make it sound better, smoother, whatever. Alot of people bash boogie tubes and if there is a better tube for this amp I would like to hear about it. My other question was more more of a tech question about which tubes to change V1 and V2 or what. Thanks again
