I've got money to burn, and I'm looking for new tubes for the VL-1002. I have so far replaced 2 of the original chinese 12ax7's with a 12at7 (for the reverb) and a Sovtek 12ax7wxt. I need:
1) Advise on what tubes to get. I'm thinking JJ 12ax7s's...
2) Info on what tubes does what. Very specific. A little drawing would be nice.
3) Any recommended sources for tubes?
Thx
Syre

If you have the money tou miught want to look into some old mullard or amperex bugle boys. i have picked these up on ebay from $25 to $40 each. Just check thier feedback and steer torwards a seller that deal alot in tubes. i never had a problem on ebay yet w/ tubes but i always hear t people trying to scare you away from there so you will buy the same tube from them for $100+,
put these in the V1 and V2 position, V1 should be directly behind the input jack, good luck

Got a handfull of JJ's. So... Got a JJ in V1 (for sweetness) the WXT in V2 (for gain), V3 and V4 are JJ's, the 12at7 for the reverb and a balanced JJ in the phase inverter. The mixer is one of the original "Audio Classics", as one of the JJ's I got was microfonic.
Overall impression: The JJ's are a little short in the gain department (should have gotten a couple of hi-gains), but man, they sound good.
Happy camper! _________________ Less is more, but more is way way more.
