More clean headroom on Street Rod?

[cvogue]

I noticed my Street Rod's clean channel seems to be breaking up earlier, kinda wish it was cleaner.

Can a V1 change to a 12AT7 help? I think V1 is just for the clean channel. Actually not sure what's in there now... could be JJ or the original stock Chinese 12AX7

Thanks!

Yeah, I would get several AT's and experiment with V1 and V2. V2 is input stage for both channels. I suppose it could be a power tube/bias issue but easier to start with pre's
