Decided to get the ole Bogner modded JCM800 Acme Tone Sucker out today. Tried the Tung Sols...nope. Installed some SED's....nope. Went back with the EH 6CA7's that was in the amp when I got it....nope. Back to SED's and pulled all the 12AX7WA Sovktek tubes. Went back with an NOS Mullard in V1, a couple of Penta C8's in gain and CF. Better, but the SED's are severe crap in a Plexi circuit with a master volume. Still eke out the tiniest bit of sustain and half as tube distortion in the crunch channel. Had the brand new Gold Lion KT77's sitting there and decided to give them a go. Holy shit Batman. Instant fullness, way more cranked Plexi distortion on the crunch channel. Had to actually clean up all the slop, man up and platy properly. Going to set up the Y-Not and see how this blends with the new Golub modded JMP I just got back. It should be some good crack.
Gonna try the tubes in something else a little heavier with a master volume and see how it goes. I may have to grab a few sets. Hell, they aren't much more than an SED anymore.
