Tude Question

Well got my peavey butcher head but I have a question about it's tubes. First it has two 5881 sovteks and two 6L6 Groove Tubes, will this effect the sound quality since there are two different types of tubes in there? Secound, the sovteks say "made in the ussr", so I'm thinking there kinda old. So should I replace them? Thanks.

the sovteks are current production models. The groove tube would be older.

They still make groove tubes, don't they?

[edit]I know they still make sovteks, what made me think they were old is they say "made in the ussr"

they still make groove tube, I really dont know enough to say here, but as far as I know the butcher came equiped with 3 12ax7's and four 6L6's ( that would suggest that the grooves are older) and someone added the sovtecks after.

Id switch em all back to 6L6's (maybe JJ's or stick with the original groove tubes).

Thanks for the help. I have been away so could not respond sooner.

im pretty sure the two tube types are interchangable.....

im not sure but given adequate biasing i dont think there is a problem
