What speaker and tubes came as standard with these amps?
What speaker and tubes would you recomend as replacements (should it need this)?
Many thanks in advance. |
if you are after the 'ventage fender' thing. Jensen has an alnico 8 that would be authentic..but ya gotta break it in they are T I GH T out of the box..play a little bass through it (really..not too loud ..but it will get the surround moving much quicker , ESPECIALLY with a low power amp) if you can find one with TREMOLO and remove the trem tube it will have a bit more headroom.. I put a JJ 6L6 and a Goovetube mullard reissue in valco (simialar output ) sounded fine.... I also replaced the tube recifier with a SS plug in.. it tightened it up enough to use it.
my 2 cents
