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

I'm runnin' a new thread called, "How many amps do you need?" I think I am going to sell off all of my non-Marshall amps and get me a nice low watt boutique amp, say 10 to twenty watts. Man, there are a lot of nice ones out there. Hell, I'm still waiting to try out a Rebel. It has the choice of 6V6 or EL84 tubes, or a blend of the two and adjustable power from 1 to 20 watts. That's pretty cool. However, they don't seem to be selling very well and I wonder why? There's two people selling them on EBAY for the same price as Musician's Friend and they are giving the shipping for free. No one has bought any of these amps. This is at $595. What does a Night Train go for?

I can't wait for Josh to get the tubes so he can start to dial the ole 122 in. He went from having a few tubes to having a shitload. He's got a lot of new production tubes and some of them don't sound bad, but the NOS tubes handle higher plate voltage and I think they have much better definition when it comes to articulation and tone.

Hurry up, we're waiting on you Josh!
