[quote name='Jarhead' post='834043' date='May 11 2010, 10:55 AM']What would you reccommend for a nice distortion, quite vintage kind of tone? Zach[/quote] This next statement is a very rough guide to the various sounds that preamp valves give.... British valves like Mullard, Genalex and Brimar are warm, sweet and very smooth. American valves like RCA, Sylvania and GE are punchy, bright and have a strong bass. German valves like Valvo. Siemans and Telefunken are somewhere in the middle. They give a more neutral sound that I prefer. I hope this helps............its great fun experimenting to find what suits you. I prefer a warm preamp valve like a Mullard and neutral driver valve like the Valvo. Also remember the gain can also be changed to suit how hard you drive the front end. ECC83 / 12ax7 valves give 100% ECC81 / 12at7 valves give 60% ECC82 / 12au7 valves give 25 % By swapping out different valves the gain can be changed to alter distortion or add smoothness. Any of the above valves can safely be substituted for another.

I have for sale my Sadowsky hard case. It has a large front zipped pocket for storage and is made from high density foam and covered in a tough black material. [attachment=49452:DSCN0873.JPG] [attachment=49453:DSCN0874.JPG] [attachment=49454:DSCN0877.JPG] I don't have a box but it should be OK to courier this on a next day signed for service. It will cost £15.99 to post. Offered at £35 plus the postage.........Collection is also OK, I'm very near the M3 and M4 Reading area.

We have for sale my Basslines Quarter pounders to fit all Fender 5 string Jazz basses. Model SJ5-3. These give a very powerful sound that cuts through a band mix with plenty of Bass and top end projection. They have a scooped mid that is perfect for Slap, Rock or just a little Funk. I put these in the Jazz for about 1 month and changed bands and have not used them since. Cost price is around £110 / 120. Offered at £80 posted[attachment=48948:DSCN0872.JPG] for these wonderful pickups.

Hi Guys, I have a few ECC83 / 12ax7 and ECC82 / 12au7 preamp tubes for sale. These have been used for a few hours by me to test a preamp that I no longer own. The Sovteks are NEW and are the type that are fitted in most amps today. Price is £5 per valve and £2 postage.....I have 3 available. [attachment=49448:DSC_0001.JPG] The Sylvania are 'very low hours used stock' from the 1980's. These sound so much better than any new valve on the market today. The sound from these American valves are clean, bright and very detailed. Price is £13 per valve and £2 postage....I have 2 available. [attachment=49449:DSC_0002.JPG] I also have two Electro Harmonix ECC82 valves that can be used to lower the gain by around 60% compared to the above ECC83s. These are also new. price is £7 per valve and £2 postage.........I have 2 available. [attachment=49450:DSC_0003.JPG] Thanks.
