So, now i'm thinking, what tubes would bring out what qualities in this badboy.
Naturally, I'm gonna try out what I got here but, I'd still like to hear the thoughts and experiences of some fellow forumites.
Anywayz, heres what tubes I have on hand:
-2x JJ ECC83 S's
-2x Shenguang (!?spelling?!) "Silver Dragon" 12AX7's
-2x Sovtek 12AX7WA's
I'm thinking the JJ's might work well, since this is supposedly a brighter pre-amp, and the slightly darker tubes may balance well with it.
However, the Silver Dragons have a vicious bite, and wicked gain....but i don't think either of those characteristics will be lacking in the Engl, by any means.
I havent really spent enough quality time w/ the Sovteks to really know how they sound
So...thoughts? Suggestions? Fart jokes?
