Depending on the manufacturer, the type of tube (standard, high gain, high gain/balanced, gold pin etc.) and the position, pre amp tubes can make a big difference in tone.
Are there any good resources to help gain some insight into the tone characteristics of different tubes prior to actually buying a bunch of different tubes and juts blindly experimenting?
