New Rebel 20 owner here. I've heard it responds well to new preamp tubes. What do y'all recommend?

Currently have Jan Phillips 5751's in mine. I have also tried Tung Sols, and a variety of GTs, Sovteks, etc. Since I am using the Rebel as a clean channel with external pedals for dirt, I like the lower gain of the 5751's.
I also tried a box of old tubes I got from my father-in-law, including Mullard, RCA, Sylvania, GE, etc. The tubes were all used, but all worked.
Bottom line, there's not as much difference as I expected between all the tubes I tried. The stock GT's were as good as any.
BTW, avatar theft is a federal offense ...

Haha...That's funny. I will have to change mine since you obviously had it first.
Thanks for the info too.

Great minds think alike. I think that's one of the most clever Photoshops I've ever seen but many people don't get it.

NOS JAN Phillips 5751 in V1. I don't need quite as much gain as the Rebel has on tap.

I had one of those in my Blackheart Little Giant and it sounded great. I will have to try one in my Rebel too.
