And fwiw, even relatively new valves can go bad quickly so be sure to check the tubes.

I'm also not sure how Tung Sol's would do in those amps. I'd spend a few dollars and check out a few others such as Penta's, JJ's and EHX in different positions to see how that helps.

As for the power section I recommend the SED Winged C's or Mullard EL-34's. I never did like EHX power tubes in my Jubilee amps. They made the tone disappear to my ears.
