Hey guys, I know this has been asked plenty of times. We all try diff stuff over time and sometimes change our minds. So, currently what pre and power tubes are you guys running in your uber?
 
i dont really experiment much with the tube combinations. Since i really liked the sound from the factory, i havent tinkered with it much:

Pre
V1 - Tung Sol 12AX7
V2 - Shuguang 12AX7B
V3 - Shuguang 12AX7B
V4 - JJ ECC803S
V5 - Shuguang 12AX7B (balanced)
V6 - Shuguang 12AX7B (balanced)

Power
V7-V10 - JJ/Tesla EL34

I did the E34L thing for a few years. They seem to have more upper bass/lower mids and probably a little more low end punch. However, I prefer the extended low end, smoother mids, and crazy rumble of the EL34s. Some of this is probably because i really only play in standard or drop-D tuning.

Chris, I set down with my ubers. for like two hours today.
I believe you would like the EL34s.
The JJ el34L they have more low end, tighter, more saturated, smoother and definitely more aggressive.
The JJ KT77 they are very deep sounding with an extremely low end OMG way more then the el34L, and they sound very evil.
 
My Rev 2 and Twin Jet have all Chinese 12AX7Bs except for a JJ 803s in V4. The Rev 2 has JJ E34Ls biased at 30mA, and the Twin Jet has JJ KT88s biased at 38mA.
 
I just ordered the JJ 6ac7 for my Original uberschall. so Far my favorite power tubes are the JJ KT77.
 
I just got the JJ 6ac7 Big bottles. Fucken awesome!!!!! I love them !!!!!!!!
