So I received and put in some new tubes. First, I found some good used vintage 5881’s to have as back ups to the 6L6WGB tubes that came with the amp. But I am enjoying them in it and think I am getting a break up at a little lower volume. And they may seem a little warmer. A fun change.

Then, I received the NOS 7025’s I ordered, one Mullard, and one RCA. So far I really like the Mullard in the V1 position, the Normal channel of the amp, and the RCA in the Vibrato channel, V2. But I may want to exchange the RCA for the Mullard. I will swap back and forth and see what I think. I also got for cheap a 5751M which apparently is an tube SRV used. I will check that out too. And with the microphonic tube replaced permanently with a good 7025 I took out of V1 or V2 (and I have one leg over) the amp is different creature. My pedals all work better, and my fuzz pedals that didn’t seem to want to work sound awesome. A lot of fun to get to know the amp all over again! Glad I didn’t sell it!
