I have a pre-production era CCV and I always thought it sounded great. However, more recently, I noticed myself being less excited about playing it. The amp has new Winged C power tubes, but I guess I just never thought about the preamp tubes that were in it. I always meant to look, but never got around to it.
Anyway, a couple of long-time CCV owners mentioned that I should pop some new tubes in there. I finally got around to it last week and holy heck what a difference!
The amp now sounds WAY better across the board. I was amazed at how much of a difference it made and I don't think my ears are nearly as good as some of you.
I didn't use any special tubes, just 9th gen Chinese down the line.
