I have a supersonic 112 amp and I've experienced a loss of gain in it and alot of hiss feedback, so I believe it needs a new set of tubes. What type of tubes would you guys recommend to get a good metal zakk wylde-ish or eddie van halen sound out of it?

Hi blakelan91,

Tubes are not going to give you the sound of either of those guys, you'll need a pedal or pedals for that. As for new tubes, how about GT 12AX7-C for the preamp tubes (V1 through V5) for good clean sound and a little dirt on the burn channel, GT 12AT7 for reverb driver and PI (V9, V6), GT 12AX7A for reverb recovery (V10), and a matched pair of GT 6L6 S for the output tubes (V7, V8). Plenty of opinions on tube choices on this forum, maybe you'll get some other recommendations here. :idea:

Preciate the advice guys . I'd also like to know if anyone that has a supersonic finds it tough to get a good sound out of an overdrive pedal without it getting too noisy.
