New Tubes Advice
Richman:
What is the best choice for a stock MP-1 first version ? I have Mesa 12AX7 in there now but I have no idea how old they are. I want to get some new tubes but I'm hoping for some tried and true advice in this area. I've read about people using JJ's but I don't use them in my marshalls.

I was looking at these tubes...
Dante:
Richman,
It depends on what you're looking for. My personal choice may not be yours. I was going for a severe overdrive, instead of facemelting gain, if that makes any sense. What is it you're trying to achieve?
Richman:
Pretty much the super high gain 80's modded Marshall sound...Early Paul Gilbert / Racer X tones... I'm real close to that now....Any advice?
Dante:
Honestly, I'm not the guy to ask...but there are plenty of folks in here that can answer that.
If it were me, I'd test all the ones I have - in each position. Position (v1 & v2) makes a HUGE difference.
