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

Hey my Tubers! Guess what I did last night? Left my NT on stand-by all night. Still works! I put the JJ EL84's in and am demoing them now. Don't know if I like them as much as the stockers. I need to mess around with them a little more. They are a darker tube it seems compared to the stock ones. If I'm not mistaken I think I may have lost a little headroom. I'm going make a couple of preamp tube changes too. Maybe I wore down the Tung Sols leaving em' on all night. A preamp tube change will tell me right away. Could just be how the JJ's are too.

Well I'm almost on vacation for a few weeks so in a couple of days I'm going to roll those tubes Marty gave to me and see how the Marshall likes em'. Heck I can run them in the NT as well. I just have had limited time last couple of weeks. Finally going to get to it.

Another great write up above Marty.

He pretty much lost me with the tongue thing right off the bat though to be honest.
