6505 pre amp tube help please

[disschord]

Hi i have a bias moded Peavey 6505 with jj 6l6 power tubes.
I would like to experiment with my pre amp tubes.
I play metal only and my amp only ever see's the dirty channel.
My influences include Lamb of god, Chimaira, The Haunted, In Flames, ETC..

I'm thinking i should start with V1 first any suggestion's would be great

Contact Doug at dougstubes.com, he will help you out.

Shuguang 9th gens are supposed to be really nice, I've got a pair coming in soon that'll have them.

Yeah, a big +1 to Dougstubes, especially over eurotubes.com (the guy sells one brand for chrissakes, how can he really make a recommendation?)

I live in England so i feel a bit cheeky asking an American shop for advise when i wont be buying from them.
But i will email him and see what he thinks.

Thanks alot guys
