Lightning Tubes

Post by joelmulpeter »

Hey Guys,

I'm about to tube up my Lightning amp and was wondering if you guys think i should go all JJ? I'll do the EL84 JJ Tesla's but what about the 12AX7 and the rectifier? are the golden dragon tubes worth the price?
Thanks Joel

I'd get a few Tung Sol reissues and maybe a few Chinese as well to try. I like JJ pre's, but having all JJ's might color the sound in one direction too much.

The JJ EL84 is a great choice.

I'm using a 5V4 rectifier in my 18 watter. I think it works pretty well and they can be had for cheap.
