Has anyone switched back fully to AX7s after going down the rabbit hole of tube rolling? In my case, I purchased an HRDx III which I loved in the store as is. But got wrapped up in trying to make it quieter/cleaner/more blackface/etc etc etc. So I read and watched just about everything online to get ideas, swapped in 5751s, AY7s, AT7s, AU7s, you name it. And there was always an issue: too compressed, too soft, lost guitar dynamics, noise. Nothing captured the lively feel of the original tubes.
I'm using the amp clean and all pedals for dirt. And I might still play with different AX7s now that I've settled on the type of tube that works for me. Because it's TGP, right?
I'm just curious if this is common and if so what your experiences were. What amp, how you're using it, and what your journey was.
