It's a lot nicer when you're looking for new tubes for your amp when people do sound demo's. Mine being an old Fender first gen cybertwin these vids being very nice. So ty very much :)

@Magicmeat9504 Well thank you for appreciating the demo. I know I didn't know what tubes to get, so I just bought a bunch and tried them out. It was expensive, but I had fun listening to the different nuances. I wouldn't do it again though. Too much effort for too little difference. On an old fender like yours you will probably hear more of a difference, as it is a class A amp. This is a modern class AB amp.

Cheers

@Sebasstian86 My amp is actually a lot like that supersonic as it was made in 2000. Its a tube pre-amp / solid state power supply with amp modeling thrown in. i ordered got some Mullard reproductions just to see what tubes would do before i watched this vid. They were 40 bucks for both and came today so i put em in. They made my amp sound more open, fluid and not muddy which for me is 40$ well spent lol.

But i get you point on the tubes not doing too much.
