The channel 2 Overdrive just wasnt liking my p90 pups as the highs were creepy.
I tried huge amount of different 12ax7-12ay7 and even a 12av7 in the V2 which cascades both tube triodes into overdrive.
Finding the Key was a fluke as i tried a Tungsol goldpin ecc803s in the effects loop v4 socket and the difference was unmisstakable.
So for my Rebel 30 im running V1 Goldlion 12ax7- V2 EH 12ax7 goldpin- V3 12ax7 goldlion - V4 the tungsol gold ecc803s was magic and the PI tube is a sovtek 12ax7lps.
Ive seen post on the fustration of Bogner Alchemist owners having a hell of a time doing a retube of the preamp.
Now i see,you have to use your ear and try every tube you have and keep on it til your happy.
The Electroharmonix 12ax7 goldpin tube doesnt distort as quickly as the TS or Genalex goldlion tubes but sustains very well and allows you to turn the gain abit higher so that is the best tube ive found for V2 channel 2.
Im not sure it will be perfect for everyone but its damn badass rockin now !
I had a ruby and then a JJ tesla in the V4 loop socket before that and i didnt think they had that much difference,i was totally wrong because the FX loop tube has to handle the gain and be faithful and under control, it sounds totally natural now.
The sovtek 12ax7lps tube feeds the power tubes with more clarity so crunchy chording comes out more coherrent than any other Phase Inverter ive tried period.
No wonder i didnt cherish the dirty channel 2 like others have , it blows away my T-Rex OD and Green Rhino pedals now !
I had to pass this along, im running the new el-844 jj tesla pair and the RI mullard 6v6gt power tubes.
The el844 tube take 2% lower bias and get crunchy quicker the standard el84 types, nice even warm tone and not crispy like the rubys either.
With 4 preamp tubes its like playing pick 4 lottery and i finnaly hit the jackpot, no brag just fact !
P.S. the genalex goldlion 12ax7 i used are long plate gold pin going for $32.00 including shipping,they just came out with a short plate thats $20.00 12ax7 and if you own a very brite amp try that tube,its highs are very smooth on the ones i tried.
