Considering I am still so new to the VH4, what are things I would expect from old dying pre amp tubes? I know microphonics is something to look for, but what else? How would they affect my tone? Would I maybe lose clarity and definition?

Once again, thanks for all the help :)

Please, help the idiot :)

Just change your preamp tubes! Everything will sound fresh.
I swear that when I first read this it said, "Just chang your underwear!..."

I was pretty tired when I read it though... but I did as it said and although it didn't help my tone, it did boost my confidence and it did smell fresh... still won't wash them though... they are my lucky underwear haha :)

In all seriousness, I am going to be ordering those pre amp tubes from you here on Thursday :)

Go for top dawg Chinese/Shuguang 12AX7Bs or Cs, or the Ruby brand. Good luck.
