Re: Tubes for DSL 100? - Classic Rock
that's basically the problem with these things...
its an opinion and what somebody likes, doesn't do it for the other
i also use KT77's in my DSL100 but biased a little lower at around 84mV (marshall recommends 90mV on the testpoints)
i like them very much
as for the pre's i didn't like the tung sol's in v1... a bit too gritty for my taste... most russian tubes are..
they were also very noisy compared to other brands... so i've discovered a combination which i really like...
V1: nos GE5751 jan
V2: JJ ecc83s
V3 tung sol 12ax7
V4 balanced shuguang 12ax7
i tried a 5751 in V4 (phase inverter) too, but didn't like what it did
just trie some different tubes at different combinations... it can be a lot of fun!
as an alternative for powertubes you could go for the JJ E34L
it's all about combinations... i play a les paul with .012's on it on standard E-tune... that makes a hell of a difference, creating your sound
