Retubing a JCM900/4100/100W???[views:1909][posts:4]__________________________________ [Nov 7,2005 12:27pm - litacore ""] DON'T ASSUME I COOK! it's that time, to retube this puppy. any recommendations? it is Sovtek I should go with? I like my Deicide treble but would also like a little more crunch-warmth. |

I use Mesa Tubes personally, but Sovtek makes decent ones too. Ive never tried Groove tubes, I hear good and bad things about them. Try to buy them ina matched pair preferably biased to your amp, and yer golden. |
