What tubes do you use in your Rev G Triple?

[James Lugo]

I have been loving my new Rev G, new to me anyway. :mrgreen: The tubes look pretty old, the rectifier tubes are chard black. Amp sounds fine I'm just not sure if it can sound better I don't have a point of reference. What are you guys using? I do modern rock not metal. More like Alterbridge, AIC, NB etc... Not looking for anything harsh or to hard sounding. Kind of in the middle.

A tungsol in the v1 spot can cover any ground you need it to. Any decent 6L6 will work. I am a big fan of Electro Harmonix 6L6GC's. They are hands down my favorite 6L6. I would experiment with different preamp tubes in ghe rest of the spots until you tweak it to your liking. As for rectifiers, I prefer GZ34s and large bottle 5U4G's. I have some small bottle 5U4GB Electro Harmonix rectifiers, but they just don't feel as good as the other two.

I got new tubes from Laura the Valve Queen and in the second half of the video I switch out the tubes in the Triple.

That last mix sounds awesome! Your tube selections sounds great!
I use Svetlana EL34's in my Triple along with a EH 12AX7 in V1, Shugaung 12AX7B's in V2-V4 and a Gold pin JJ ECC83 in V5, very aggressive combo.
