howieee Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Hey guys. Im thinking ahead to when i will have to eventualy revalve my amp. Where do you start! Ill send it in for a service but obviously i will need to choose the tubes i want put in..... My question is. What ones do i get. Which tubes will do what for my amp. Its an Ampeg SVT VR. Has russian 6550s in the power stage at the mo.... So what tubes are available.... Are there ones that will give it a "classic vibe" or are all tubes pretty much the same. From what iv seen you can spend very little or quite alot on tubes! Iv heard that russian or american made tubes are the best... Thanks for any help that you give!:-) Love and kisses x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Tung Sol seem to have a good reputation at the moment. Myles Rose has a site (or two) that gives data on the current crop of valves & many other things & if you are getting into valves would be well worth perusing.
