So I made a massive improvement to my Mark V by changing out V4 and V6 for 12AT7 tubes, following the advice of many people, including those in this thread:

90W Mark V becomes the BEST Mark with preamp tube tweak? - The Boogie Board

At the same time, I changed out the 2 Mesa 12AX7 tubes in V2 and V3 for Genelex Gold Lion tubes (already had them lying around). Unfortunately, however, it actually took away from Ch2. Less "umph".

What tubes do you guys recommend in V2 and V3 to give more meat and roar to channel 2? I don't mind a bit of experimenting and tube rolling, but since I don't have many tubes kicking around it could get expensive quickly.

Cheers!
 
Get a decent shielded high quality SPAX7 in V1 happening, then try V4 and 7 with the 12AT7s..

Take some of that, and call us in the morning. 8)
