I'm playing a strat relic 56 on a Blues Junior and I'm very happy with the sound. But in a while I plan to buy new tubes. Is there any particular brand or type that should be used for it. It is a lot of information on this on the net. Some people also talk about changing the speaker to Celestion vintage 30. Is all this just talk or is this something worth doing...?

thanks

I have a '74 Twin Reverb that I put GrooveTubes tubes in.

There were quite a few options out there but a guy at the local music store that I trust told me the GrooveTubes would be the ones to get and I'm quite happy with the sound they put out.

As far as speakers go, I have two JBLs in there and have thought about going to a pair of Celestion speakers but I'm happy with the way it sounds right now so it's hard to justify.

Thanks,
I will ask for them at my local dealer. If not I could order them on the net.
Have a look at the http://home.comcast.net/~machrone/bluesjunior.htm it's a lot of info there. But the problem is to know how true everything is of what he say.

Hello 123874,

I changed my 12AX7's
to 12AT7's
Groove tube brand.

The amp is now a wee bit cleaner.

Cheers.
