I've got a Rivera Fandango 55w 2x12 and am going to change the pre-amp and output tubes. I'm looking to get the most clean headroom and warmest sound possible. Any suggestions? I was thinking about going with Winged C EL-34s but wasn't sure what to do about the pre-amp tubes.
Here's what each of the 5 control, right now they're all 12ax7a's:
1. Input buffer and tone control driver for Channel 2, and also the first Preamp stage of
Channel 1.
2. Tone control follower for Channel 2 and an additional gain stage for Channel 1.
3. Third gain stage for Channel 2 and for Channel 1
4. Reverb follower gain stage, and mixer for both channels
5. Phase inverter driver tube for the power amp section
Thanks!
