Hi,
my previous peamp tubes are:

v1,v2 highgrade sovtek 12ax7WA
v3,4,5,6,7 selected no brand 12ax7A

Today i've changed,
v1,v2 Ruby 12ax7ac5 HG+
v3,4,5,6,7 Ruby 12ax7ac5 HG

The tone is avesome :D ,even on clean..but switching from ch3 and ch4 and viceversa i hear a litte sound: "tin"..
more gain and volume more "tin".
Is not very important but with sovtek no microphony.

So my questions are:

1) ruby HG+ only in v1,v2 or is better also in v3,v4?
2) the little noise descripted is caused only by little microphony the v1,v2 gain stage..or can be also in v3,v4? :scared:
3) i'm damned to swich tubes until i found no microphony in gain stage:v1...v4?

Thanks. :)

Many thanks Peter! :worship: :)

So the HG+ Diezel selected are even less microphonic then "the normal HG+"?
 
Problem solved by myself. :thumbsup:
2 ruby HG are microphonic,i've changed them.

Now:
v1,2,3,4 HG+
v5,6,7 HG

I'm waiting the substitution of the microphonics tubes by the italian Ruby distributor,
then i'll place them in v3 and v4 'cause i don't need Hg+ in them.

:rock: Awesomeness!
 
Microphony problem solved.
But a little problem.
I live and play in an enviroment with RFI issue then sometimes i hear a radio background
of course amplified on ch4.
Is a little noise even in ch4..a little noise that at guitar pot volume opened is covered.
Any ideas?
I can't put of course myself inside a faraday cage.. :D
