im using it to track synths and samplers and it's sounding harsh and hard.

anyone tried experimenting with different tubes on this unit and what improvment do they make to the sound.

The standard valves are quite smooth on break up with The stock 12 au7 and 12ax7 combo. If you found a NOS RCA 12au7 and an old Yellow label British Mullard equivalent ECC83 for the 12ax7 I think it would be a bit more warm and
more dominant of low mid but the RCA should make it pass some smooth air top.
Best combo I think removes any harshness. Pity you dont have whats on my avatar. Jealous huh, thats three fat JAN 6J7 steel envelope pentodes in class A with a tube rectumfire, Huge UL transformers. Oh and a dead funky Western Meter. Music just squirts out of the output. As you may have guessed I am a tube nut.
