Hey, I bought a red knob Super 60 1 / 12 combo from my cousin. I recently blew my power tubes. Anyone have any suggestions for replacement of the 6L6GGC's? I had some Mesa's in there, but want to try something different.

I'm looking for some tubes that will deliver a nice round tone and break up later to give me a lot fo clean headroom.

:?: :?: :?: :idea:

A few suggestions -

A matched set of the amazing Tung Sol 5881 power tubes for incredible warmth, rich tone and smooth breakup when pushed.

The warm, singing Tungsol 12AX7 preamp tubes, AND the "SRV tube" a 5751 for V2 for that perfect tone!

A strong reverb driver and the matched phase inverter for tonal perfection.

Good luck!

Hey,
Thanks for the input :D . I've heard about those Tung Sol 5881s. I may have to give them a try. I play a lot of clean stuff and prefer the break up to be smooth and late. I bought a set of PM tubes, but they sound too 'harsh' and trebley for me.
Never thought to replace the pre amp tubes. I have the std Fender 12AX7 + and already have that 5751.
I know a guy with a few sets of New old stock pulls he says I should try out also.
The quest for tone......
