I have an ENGL Thunder head E325, I was wondering about the 12AX7's in this...
I bought this, I had played through a friends Thunder combo I was so impressed i got the head used. I instantly opened it up after a trial sound check and found that it had the original tubes in it....all ENGL branded. Holy crap! no wonder it sounded so dead and fluctuating loudness. I ordered some Ruby Cryo Power tubes matched of course, I always put these in my Marshalls, their reliable and sound good to me.
So I'm having a problem getting good info from ENGL. After repeated emails about tube positions and recommendations, I have come here for real professional help.
What are the pre amp positions and any recommendations for tubes. My idea was V1- Ruby 12AX7 HG, V2- Tung-Sol, V3- Tung-Sol, V4 Sovtek 12AX7LPS... I'm assuming the phase inverter is V4...which is my main question.
