Just replaced the driver tube (original? It was a UNGSGRAM ECC83/12ax7 Made In Hungary), put in a Electro Harmonix black box 12ax7EH, made in Russia. Don't know if these are any different than Sovtek (probably not), but WOW! What a difference! I can actually use the overdrive and get a REAL decent overdrive with the amp on it's own now! I also noticed that if you let the amp warm up a good 10 minutes, it makes a huge difference. Sorry if I sound like an excited amateur here folks, but I really am excited about the tones this think is generating now. Great amps, incredible value for the price can get them at.
Any feedback on replacements EL34's???? I might do those soon too. Thanks!
