I purchased this amp about 10 years ago used. It sounded really good, no problems. I decided somewhere along the line to replace the tubes. Nothing wrong with the old ones other than they were original and figured they should be replaced rather than wait for them to die. I installed a set of JJ tubes.
Everything seemed ok at first but after a while I realized the amp just didn't have the Ompth it use to. It sounded and responded cold and sterile. As a result last couple of years since I put the JJ's in there and sounding bad, I started using it as a speaker cab to run some of my heads over.
I finally decided the change in the amp had to do with the tubes. I brought it home tonight and removed the JJ's and installed the old original boogie tubes back in it. Well it's back to life again!!!
So can somebody explain to me why the JJ's don't work good as compared to the original boogie tube and what do I need to do to obtain another set of tubes that will continue to make my boogie sound good when I do need to replace the originals????? Platefire
