Less than 24 hour & I may be regretting my amp purchase

That's exactly what I was sayin' bro'.

The L6 recommendation IMHO was based purely on achieving the desired sounds and responses of the various interactions / combinations.

It would have been good if he'd simply pointed this out rather than predict doom and gloom if you didn't use the specified tubes.

So you are saying that you believe (or agree with L6) that EHX branded tubes achieve the desired sounds and responses of the various interactions / combinations?

If so, I don't buy that.

I understood it as Monkey Man calling BS on L6 claiming you could only use EXH tubes. I read it as L6 used EHX tubes, thought that was how it "should" sound & respond, and didn't want anyone messing with their stuff by trying different brand tubes. So instead of saying using other brand tubes may not be what we think is optimal they tried to scare people into not messing with it by claiming different brands would fry the amp.

I think I saw (prepare to die laughing) Stryper using DT50 stacks maybe a decade ago, and was really surprised on how good it sounded for 80's rock/metal.

No shit? I love Stryper. Points for DT50!
