Re: Unique SE amp... 12AY7/6V6 job

some update!

I've swapped the V2 valve. I took out the Siemens ECC83 for a Mullard ECC81. Even nicer tone and more clean headroom. See if I can do a clip with the new valve.

Another good thing id that the amp has got two inputs: Lo and Hi.

Lo sounds cleaner and softer.
Hi sounds grainier and wilder.

For blues and jazz I use Lo. For raunchy rock I plug into the Hi.

The Mullard ECC81 does sound good!!
