If it is a new amp that is a warranty fix (even the tubes have a few weeks warranty on them)
You should not need to be buying your own tubes to fix a DOA, unless you really want a different brand of tubes. :)

Any of the other mods (Billm or other) do wipe out your 5 year Fender warranty with the first cut.

Hi pauldrake,

The amp is new, get a warranty replacement of the same type (or whatever they want to put in) and be done with it. Let's dispense with the myth that the JJs are better or more rugged tubes. Any brand of tubes would fare the same when shipped around in an amp, they take a pounding during shipping, it isn't often that the tubes don't work in a new amp, but it happens.

The amp warranty covers the tubes for 90 days, and if you buy GTs they are guaranteed for 6 months (even if you just don't like them, return for refund), you won't get that with JJs, or most other brands. But, more importantly, when you buy something new, use the friggin' warranty for crying out loud. :idea:

Taste is a consideration. What is pleasing to me may sound harsh to you, pick your tubes based on the sound that you want.
