If I never use the vib/trem channel, would it be smart to remove those preamp tubes? I've heard Brian May does this and it helps the amp run somewhat cooler and reliable. My main concern is really the top boost channel volume.

So you think V7 should remain a 12AX7? How about the V6 tube?
Oh good heavens not all the preamp tubes! I apologize for not being clearer. I was only thinking of the preamp tubes that would affect the top boost channel.
I need some Vox experts the chime in on this one. Could I substitute my 12ax7 preamp tubes with 12ay7's for the gain stages without causing my 1999 Korg AC30tbx any harm? I will never be able to crank it, besides I mostly use pedals for OD tones anyway.

Here's my issue. Even before when I had the old bridge, the top screw nearest to the low E...
Hello everybody. I'm finally going to pull the trigger on a local sale of a replacement 3- saddle brass barrel bridge on my trusty old 1999 MIM Fender tele. Shes a big of a mutt, I swapped the neck out for a USA neck with rosewood, and had texas specials installed since I bought it back in...
Thanks to all for the valuable info. Im feeling more confident what to discuss with my tech to make sure this amp runs smoothly for years to come. If anyone else has info or experiences they'd like to share please feel free to post. Thanks again!
I was hoping you'd chime in fiveightandten, I always follow your Vox posts, as you seem to be the local expert on this particular amp.
Few points/questions here;
First off, that volume pot I've already sprayed many times to no avail... My tech said he'd have a look at it and see if there are...
