Hello everyone!
I've got a TriAxis going through a 50/50 (NOT a Stereo 2:50), with two 1x12" Recto cabs (skipping irrelevant gear).
I've had great success running those tubes in the 50/50:
-> 3x JJ ECC83S (Matched & Balanced)
-> 2x Mesa STR 420
-> 2x SED Winged =C= 6L6GC
(The 2 pairs of 6L6 complemented each other very well.)
But now it's time for a full retube and I've got a few options on which I'd like your advice.
I'll be running Ruby 6L6GCMSTR/Mesa STR 440.
For the Driver and the 2 Phase Inverters I've got the following Matched & Balanced tubes (3-4 of each):
-> JJ ECC83S
-> Sovtek 12AX7LPS (115/115 Gain... on the high side)
-> Ruby 12AX7AC5 HG+ (110/110 Gain... Strong too)
And to my surprise I found an old JAN GE 5751 that I never used and forgot I had. Not only is it Matched & Balanced, but it has a Gain of 90/90, so it's not so much a huge drop in gain as a different tone from a 12AX7.
I was wondering if any of you tried 5751's in their 50/50, and what did it change? Feel, Headroom, Volume, Tone...?
Since I only got one 5751, I was thinking I might try it in the Driver position, and use a pair of MPI from what I have & listed earlier.
Thanks!
