You'd honestly think that current production tubes would be of better quality, from all the advances in technology. But all this stuff you're pulling up, Marty, is pushing my want for N.O.S tubes further.

When I get a job and replace the trannys/caps in my amp. I'm gonna buy some N.O.S tubes.

What are the best makes for nice smooth metal overdrive?

Edit: This thread really needs to be stickied. Perfect read for those looking to improve their sound. And I haven't even looked at all the pages.
