Tube rolling with a Bogner Snorkler

[LP Freak]

Anyone done any tube rolling in the Snorkler? Just wondering what you came up with

Yes. I liked Siemens EL34’s and made in France Dario Miniwatt (green letters) ECC83’s most in mine. For preamp tubes I also really liked the made in Brazil Miniwatt 12AX7’s and made in Spain ECC83’s

For current made tubes imo what it came stock with is fine. Current made Tung-Sol’s might be a bit better by being a bit brighter, tighter and clearer

What kind of difference in tone are you getting vs the stock JJ’s?

What kind of difference in tone are you getting vs the stock JJ’s?

The typical differences I get when going to good vintage tubes. A more organic, richer tone. The Siemens in particular are clear, tight with nice upper and center mids. The French tubes are very rich, some of the best growl, good center and low mids, also pretty tight and focused. JJ’s are darker and a bit less focused, but not bad to me for current made tubes
