Awesome amp! Way higher gain than the Metal from what I heard about the Metal. I own one and it's great. Does it have the loop? I know the MCII comes with the long plate JJ's. I had an MCII as well. I found that tube to be the quietest and sound good with the regular JJ ecc83. I think I swapped V1 for a Tesal NOS and left the long plate in for the PI. The rest regular JJ. That's what is in mine right now. Do you know what transformers you have. Mine has the A. The MTL had the newest transformers. Go with the JJ regular in this amp. Mine sounds awesome. I sold my MCII after I had them next to each other. I preferred the MTL but the MCII was a killer amp also. V1 input tube, V2 clean and clean boost, V3 lead channel, V4 lead boost. not sure about the other half of the tube. V5 is loop and V6 is PI. I am not positive on V2 and V3. MTL sounds great with Winged C el34 over the JJ's.
