I am fixing to re-tube my blues jr. and I was looking for some recommendations. I am looking for something smoother and more vintage sounding than the harsh sovteks with groove-tubes logo that originally came in the amp. I am also thinking of changing the speaker. Any suggestions?

Yep.....Chet sleeps with his Blues Jr. I'd check in with him. Seriously.....a fountain of knowledge on that subject. (ask for a pic of his)

LOL, I think my wife would get upset if I invited my amp to bed with us.............


I use NOS tubes in my Blues Jr. Mullard's, RCA's are 2 brands I use. I also put a 5751 in V-1

Hey! Ask Chet for a pic of his Blues Jr. Then you'll be posting........."I'm not worthy!"

One question............

I knew Chet added another "12 inch for his amp.

What I want to know..........did he have to increase his power? or did it do just fine with the additional speaker..........(I've been losing sleep over that)

Other than NOS tubes the Chassis is STOCK. No tweaks to any of the circuitry at all.

And it still plays at the same volume and tone? I would've thought an addictional speaker would've required more power.

I was waiting till you got over your surgery. If you want to do that.......just let me know. I'm retired, and have no life, no women, no friends, or anything.....so I'm absolutely free. (I might be scaring him by now-does it sound like begging?) You know my email address. Syeklops@comcast.net

I suck on the guitar......but then....I was once told......"if you know three chords, I'll play with you". My response......"I know four".

I'm a hack at guitar.
