Tube Recommendations for RT2/50+RM4

[relaxo]

I haven't found that much discussion lately regarding recommended preamp and output tubes for the Randall RT2/50+RM4. Can some of you shoot me your favs so far. (I need to buy 6L6s immediately.)

Output tubes RT2/50 channel 1?

Output tubes RT2/50 channel 2?

Preamp tubes RT2/50?

Preamp tubes RM4? (different ones for different mods?)

Thanks.

Hey man,

I can highly recommend JJ's from Eurotubes for Poweramp and pre-amp tubes. Super-quick delivery, great customer service.

Email Bob at Eurotubes and he will be able to advise on the sounds you are after.
I don't own a RT2/50 but for tonal options I recommend getting E34L's (high grade EL34's) and 6L6's, I don't think it should make a difference which channel you put either in.
For 12AX7 preamp tubes, the JJ ECC803's are recommended for the more vintage sounding modules (JTM, Plexi, Blackface, Tweed, etc). They have about 10% less gain than the ECC083S.
