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

Every amp has its own tone (soul). Installing good quality NOS tubes will add to that tone. However, I do not think that it makes any difference on how the amp is wired. I mean it will make the amp sound different, but it won't make the tubes work differently. Most older amps had carbon composition resistors and they are known for being noisy and drifting. The more modern Marshalls use better resistors.

In short, the answer to your question is, "No."
