For those that have a CCV, what tube set get your rocks off? Both power and preamp. It's time for a fresh set. What's working for ya? 😎
 
I don't have a CCV unfortunately but wanted to chime in before everyone bashes JJs. Been putting JJ in my Splawn to experiment a bit. Their pre's are very decent for new production. Zero microphonics. Little on the dark side but great for bright maps. For power tubes try EL34 II's and EL34L's. I like both. Purchasing from Eurotubes after years of bashing that store. :dunno:

That said, I'm currently running some Chinese square getter 12AX7's I bought off of @just42dave - and really like them. He even threw in some 'candy'. Give him a shot :yes:

PS: and yes, the =C= EL34s I got from @Laura a long time ago - still work five.
 
You might as well save yourself the trouble of changing tubes and get rid of it. Tell ya what... Since I'm such a nice guy, I'll take it off your hands

Sound wise JJ are fine if you like their character. I like them in several of my amps. But I've gotten some bad ones recently. My Loyalist had new JJ power tubes in it and one shit the bed about a week after. Then I've gotten bad tubes of other brands too. So it's not like it's singularity a JJ issue
