Tone wise I like classic rock and metal (schenker, lifeson, rhoads) I like a nice warm tone. My dsl is stock (drake transformers) I did snip the bright cap on the lead channel and really only use the lead channel for a punchy clean tone. I use the green channel more with a od pedal in front. I'm happy with the stock tone just thinking the right tubes would get me to a better tone.

What tubes do you recommend, I have the 3 ge 12 ax7 and 1 12at7 plus i have some mesa branded 12 ax7 here. What about power tubes?

I usually play a gibson les paul or prs throught it plugged into some old peavey vht cabs with celestions if that helps any.
