Sovtec's suck but they are durable thats why you see them in a lot of amps or pedals like my HT Dual. I prefer the new Mullards as far as new production go. Guys like Marty have some real hot NOS 12AX7's but they can be spendy.
If it was me I'd slap a Mullard in it and clean boost it or use a nice transparent over drive pedal in front of it. I can recommend some if you are interested. Others here will chime in about the tube.

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