[QUOTE="Randall_Rich, post: 18298, member: 1245"] I just recently got my Randall V2 in good working order, and it sounds fantastic. I just have a few quick questions concerning the Tight/Loose switch. I have been messing around with all the controls and switches on the tube channel to tighten up the sound a bit and to give it a little more sizzle. My only problem is that when I switch it to the tight setting the sound loses a decent amount of gain and gets pretty nasally sounding midrange going on. Does this sound normal? It sounds totally killer on the loose setting but I'm having a hard time getting some top end sizzle going on without jacking the 5k slider up and it doesn't sound too good that way. The only tubes I haven't switched out in it is the power amp 12AT7. It currently has a JJ ECC81 in it, and the JJ's that were in the preamp sunded like total ***. They were also shrill and nasally sounding, which makes me think that the one remaining JJ is the problem. I have a new 12AT7 on the way (absolutely NO ONE carries 12AT7/ECC81 tubes in stock within a 50 mile radius of me). I ordered up a EH Mullard 12AT7 tube because they seem to have gotten the best reviews of the ones I read. Not too many choices out there for new 12AT7/ECC81 tubes. TheTubeStore.com only carries a handfull of brands for that tube. Sorry for this friggin novel. In a short recap: Will replacing a junk/nasally/shrill sounding JJ allow me to use the tight setting without losing the low end and gain like it does now? I guess $12 and a few days from now I will find out when I get the new tube. [/QUOTE]
