Help me decide on tubes for my Tourmaster

Hi, new user here - what a great place for info on Egnater amps.

I've got a TourMaster 4212 that is suffering from intermittant volume drop-outs. I'm guessing this is a tube issue, and I've tried swapping different tubes individually, but can't find the offender. Maybe there is more than one going bad.

I'd like to get the most I can out of this amp, and was thinking I may just replace all of the tubes. I use the effects loop & Reverb, but not the contour. I was thinking about TungSol 5881 Power Tubes and 12AX7's for the 1st 3 preamp spots. I'd probably put Sovtek 12AX7A's in the remaining preamp spots to save some $$.

Any thoughts from other Tourmaster owners?

Thanks,
Scott
 
I dont have a Tourmaster but those 5881s are my favorite tubes in the MOD 50. And the TS 12AX7s are awesome, preamp tubes as well. You cant go wrong with that setup for sure.
