Yeah yeah, I know this comes up all the time, but my question is a bit different
My amp is a hybrid - for the most part it's solid state, but it has a preamp tube for the distortion channels. At the moment it's got some generic ECC83 in it which sounds okay but a bit fuzzy. Bearing in mind there's just the one, so I can't mix and match to get the best sound, what would you all recommend? I need one tube that's going to give me high gain, a tight low end, rich mids, and smooth highs. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Steve
