Re: Preamp Tubes? - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How?

So it's time to reshoe the old horse is it? Are you going to put Telefunkens in it?(LOL!)

Isn't it incredible what kind of money you can spend on a stock Marshall? It's like saying, "You're good, but not good enough!" I wish I could buy a Marshall and there were no mod's, no tube swapping, nothing that would make it sound any better. It would be complete, no options needed. Instead, it's like swap out half of everything and replace it with triple digit parts and that will make a world of difference.

Take the choke for instance. The old Marshall's had them as well as any well made tube amp. Did Marshall quit using them in favor of a cheap resistor to make the amps more profitable (on their end)?

To answer your question, I like the way a choke works at any volume level.

When you get those power tubes are you going to go with EL34's or KT77's?
Are you going to just get two and run your amp the way it is with the YJ's? I have a strong pair of Winged C EL34's if you are interested.
