Is there a difference in the tone of the sound you are getting ..simply by changing brand of AX12's (gain tubes)? I've been informed that by simply swapping the ax12's gain tubes around with different brands may give me other tones,i'm satisfied with my sound..im just curious..have any of you ever tryed this ? Interesting mmmmmm BULL or NOT?

No Bull. It's for real. I put JJ power and preamp tubes in my Hot Rod Deluxe and they tamed the drive channels and increased the warmth of the amp. The GT's were just too harsh sounding for the music I play even after a re-bias.

Glad I can help. There are many other tubes besides JJ's. Winged C's, etc. Playing with the preamp tubes is fun and no biasing is required when you change preamp tubes. If you change power tubes, you should really have the bias checked.
