I am going to order some tubes and will add some of these, but I want to know what the big difference is in the Marshally modules?

Thanks.

There's just this rawness, warm, buttery feel that I just totally dig w/ those preamp tubes in the EG3/4, GNR that I just love w/ the Chinese 12ax7as. Just plain love them to death :)

+1000000000000000 and only in those modules :confused: :D
 
IME, China tubes in general =

highs = there, but not harsh
mids = there, but not honky or growly
lows = there, but tight and great

However, the old ones are perfect, the new ones are microphonic about half of the time
 
Its the "special sauce" :jerkit: the little Chinese magician puts into each and every one of them!

So you are saying you take a big chance when buying because of the microphonic nature of quite a few!?
 
Man, I've never had issue with a microphonic chinese tube. But I do get them from good vendors like Doug.
 
i get mine from shady ebay vendors. that's why I experience microphonic issues :thumbsup:
