My alternate tube selection arrived from Tube-Depot :!:
So now in the Blues Deluxe RI pre-amp section I have in slot

V1 - jan Philips 5751 (military grade) - 70% gain for stage 1.
V2 - Ruby Tubes 12AX7 - 100% gain - for stage 2
V3 - JJ/Tesla 12AT7 - 60% gain - for the phase inverter.

The amp does seem to sound different, it also appears to be able to get louder/cleaner.

Some day I'll get up the nerve to do a re-bias and swap to decent 6L6 power tubes as well.

Now just waiting for my mates Blues Deluxe RI amp to get back from service so we can compare the two.
He took it to a tech to try to stop an annoying rattle at high volumes, and the shop sent it in to Fender. so it will be weeks till it comes back :(

:D He should never have plugged that Les Paul of his into a Fender amp, I think it caught some horrble Gibson disease from it :lol: :lol: :lol:

You are trying to sell a tube?
In any case trying to make sales is prohibited on the Fender forums..
