After trying several types for the preamp and pi tubes, I like the GT 12AX7-C for all three positions in my HRDlx. These tubes really improved the drive channel, while maintaining great clean channel sound with a little added warmth. I also have a matched set of GT 6L6-S (red label) output tubes waiting to be installed, which I have already tried, and they sound great, giving clear clean tone with nice tight thumping low-end, smooth mids with lots of headroom. The new output tubes sound equally good when using the drive channel and the -C preamp tubes.

In an amp that isn't known for a great drive channel sound, the -C's made a very nice improvement. And, for now, I'll keep using the original output tubes from 1998 that still sound wonderful. :idea:
