Just order the average distortion which is the norm.
that was exactly what i did. if you guys remember, i started talking about low gain option, and i think you told me to try 12at7 or something. then i thought about it for a while, lower or higher gain, but i figured, like, "why? you have a marshall, so have it then." so i have a marshall.


anyway, a guy here is selling some preamp tubes, says they are brand new:

12AV7 AMPEREX
12AX7 RAYTHEON JAN 5755
12AU7WA GE
12AT7WA GE

this amperex is some $18, the others are around $13...
seems a bit much, don't you think?
