[QUOTE="Mike P, post: 161339, member: 2263"] I'm going to call ARS Monday or Tuesday because this is really bugging me now. I've always purchased their Low Noise, Chinese branded ARS 12ax7 tubes and just assumed that the Synergy modules were using the same. But now that you guys have indicated that some of these tubes are JJ rebranded, it makes sense because the JJ's were always too low-mid heavy for my taste, from like 200-400hz. Since switching to the Synergy modules, I've needed to dial out peaks at 279 and 417 in order to clean up my heavier tones, something I never needed to do with the Chinese ARS tubes. I've even gone so far as to have replaced the pickups in 5 of my guitars in the past 30 days in order to clean up the low mids but never once thought that it might be the tubes. Thank you all very much for bringing this to my attention. [/QUOTE]
