KH Guitar Freak said:I reckon the STR440s are Rubies. As for the preamps, I think they are Sovteks or EHs, but hey, both brands are made in the same factory anyway. Specwise, could be slightly different between the two. Also, I think Mesa could always special request some of their valves. After all, the regular preamps seem to be Sovtek 12AX7-A designs, which are predecessors to the B and C designs...
excellent information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanksdroptrd said:I know the chinese ax7 is the shuguang 8th or 9th generation
