New tubes arrived, any suggestions for combos?

[Shredragrammaton]

Hey dudes



Im retubing my new setup , my first tube setup at that *loving it*

Ive an ADA 3TM with fresh high gain ECC83s so thats cool for the meanwhile.

I also have a triaxis and 2:90 , and thismorning arrived 3 x tung sol Gold ecc803s
and 5 x JJ Gold ECC83s . I was thinking of the 5 JJs in the triaxis and the tung sols in the preamp stage of the 2:90 , but does anyone recommend any other combinations?

I was gonna hold off putting them in until i get a fresh set of 6L6s for the 2:90 , but you know how it is ... tube n00b .... guitar love.... besides the powertubes dont seem to have too much wear , so i guess it should be cool

the tung-sol gpins are nice. i use them myself. but only in v1. in this posistion i find then to slightly warm the tone at the same time tightening the low end significantlly while quiting down noise. the biggest benifiet i find from ts-gp in v1 is the clarity.

i use a varity of different preamp tubes in v2 depending on the channel and the amps sounds. jj's are good if you want a darker feel with some added warmth, mullards if the amp is bright, thin and needs alot of warmth.

power tube section.... i'm partial to jj's. i like teh darker warm tone they provide. for my style, its just the right amount of warmth and tightness for my set-up. i run jj's in the preamp section as well, no-goldpins though.

as far as combo's... i have a randall rm100 head with jj 6L6's in v1 and v4, and jj e34ls in v2-3. i got'em biased at the hotter end of the rated voltage scope. this amp cooks. no need for a signal boost. hoope this helps
