Tweedle Dee Deluxe / preamp tubes?

[ChopSauce]

Hi,

I have to order preamp tubes especially for this build and would like to read about any suggestions preferably concerning new tubes, easy to order.

I read some good comments about the Sovtek LPS as a phase inverter tube but I do not even know if that and a JJ/12AX7S in V1 is something you'd recommend for that amp...

I have JJ's in mine and it sounds great FWIW

I would use a 12AY7 for V1. Switch to a 5751 or 12AX7 only if you want the higher gain.

Thank you very much for your replies...

No information about the preamp tubes used by the man himself, so?

EDIT: went through https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=32227 yet it doesn't help much more.

Hi ChopSauce. I have used the Sovtek LPS as a phase inverter tube on a few dumble style builds and was always pleased with the results. It tends to smooth out the sound a bit.

You can read the reviews here too:
