[QUOTE="Daryl, post: 76667, member: 2547"] I have owned a stock Blackface with Sovtek 12AX7 tubes and I currently run a Gigmods Twin(Blackface modded with a Deluxe switch on it) with JJs and I am going to be swapping in a 12AY7 at Mister Joshua's suggestion. I'll let you know how that turns out. I'm also going to be ordering some Tung Sols so I'll experiment with a few configurations. I have found that sometimes if you roll back the volume knob on your guitar it can take some of the "spank" out of the tone. It probably depends on the pickups that you are using as well. On my Dimarzio equipped Ibanez, I either use the neck pickup by itself or I coil tap both pickups and do an in-between sort of sound. It is the bridge and neck pickups with the two inside coils active. It gives the sound a real "crystal" almost acoustic kind of sound. Oh yeah, I also roll the volume knob back about 1/4 rev. :) [/QUOTE]
