Uh-oh. I’ve decided I want to start experimenting with different preamp valves in my Spyder 550. Down the rabbit hole I go.....

  Thanks @franzbassist - forgot you’d had one of these! It’s a bloody good amp, I love it

  Does the 550 use 12AX7A ? And do you guys with valve pre-amps carry spare valves - `I mean do they fail at awkward times?

  12AX7 or ECC83s according to the manual. Preamp valves tend not to go the same way power amp valves do, I just think the cheap Chinese valves in the Spyder are holding it back a little. It still sounds glorious but I’m sure it could be “better”
