New to the forum.....had some questions
Looking for owners of this amp to help
Had the TM18 head for about 6 months now. The chinese tubes gave out and I swapped them all out with JJ's first. Got alot of noise from them. Replaced the V1 with a Mesa shielded 12AX7 and it quieted down.
The JJ's seemed harsher on the drive channel, so I put a JJ 12AT7 in V2 and it calmed down a bit.
I play mostly blues and classic rock. I have a Squier CV tele (stock), Fender standard strat (Lollar pups, locking tuners, Graphtech nut and saddles) that I play mostly
Two questions:
First, looking for ideas for other tubes that others have tried and like. Not totally in love with the JJ's.
Looking for musical cleans, actually mostly interested in the cleans, as I use pedals mostly for OD.
Been reading about EXH, TAD, Mullard,etc......
JJ's seem thin and weak to me
So looking for better options for all the tubes
Second, looking for ideas for a second cab. Interested in what owners have used to compliment the Vintage 30 in the 1x12
Thinking Creamback (Vox cab uses a Creamback)
I know everything is subject to everyone's own ear, so all this is subjective
Just wanting to know what other owners have used for a reference point
Any and all comments will be greatly appreciated
