Any suggestions for new power tubes on the Hot Rod Deluxe? Svetlana 6L6GCs are at the top of my list for now cause of the price. TADs? looking for something that doesnt break up as early like the jjs,etc.

ALso trying to find a preamp tube for the V1 slot. Currently i have a Mullard CV4024 12AT7 in V3, NOS GE 5751 in V2, and a stock 12AX7 in V1. i play mostly blues and rock. i read that the JAN GE 12AX7WAs are great for getting that classic fender tweed tone but im thinking their still higher gain. so im debating about going to another 5751 in the V1 if i want less breakup? any suggestions?help appreciated

I just retubed my Hotrod Deluxe with Sovteks.
I used the 12AX7WB's ($9.95 per) and 5881 WXT Blue ($34.95 Pair).

Be sure and rebias to taste afterward... I verified factory 60mV with the GT's after purchase of amp, but after retube found bias running at 80mV which is a bit hot for me.

Clean channel is fantastic and overdrive has less impact on these tubes.

You still may consider a 5751 in V1 as I had one there and sound was much better (for me) with factory GT's.

I run JJ's in mine. I got them from Eurotubes. It's their Blues Option #1. It changed the tone of the amp 100% for the better for the type of music I play. I wouldn't put nos tubes in a Hot Rod, seems like a waste of a pricey tube.
