I want to replace the tubes in my champ600, what tubes should I get, where can I get them from and how much will they cost?

I play blues and I find the amp has enough overdrive as it is so I don't need anything that is going to break up earlier, plus the speaker cannot handle to much break up :wink:

I think that a 12AX7 is too much for this amp - a GE 5751 is a good way to go to reduce the excess gain. :wink:

Great, thanks for the advice :)

So should I just leave the 6v6 and change the 12ax7? I find that the low gain input has a suitable amount of break up although it never sounds as full or as loud as the high gain input. If I could get around the same amount of break up on the high input as the low input that would be ideal.

It is easy to change the tubes or should I have a store change it for me?
