Hey Fella's, i burned up a tube in my SVT classic, the volume just took a shit and i was like wtf? Here's what i found...(below) I'm going to be using this amp for recording a lot when i get this project studio on it's feet, can anyone make a suggestion on 6550 replacements? or wether i should go with svetlana winged again? a whole matched set? or replace just one? i've had this amp since 99 i think, i never replaced the tubes, and it's always sounded fabulous! I'm worried... thanx T Attachment Deleted |

I put a new set of JJ tubes in my svt and thought it had never sounded better! You can also get blue or red glass which looks pretty cool lit up fwiw.

all of the amps in the studio are running tubes from tubestore.
we don't bother sourcing our own now. their kits are on the money tone wise.
not really a jj man myelf. |

Wow, you never changed the tubes since '99! Amazing. Love me an SVT!! Hellz yeah, if it aint broke don't fix it right 8) Seriously, my 72 jazz through this thing is silly good man. Looks like there is a tube guy here in town, has thousands of tubes including the Svetalana St Petersburg russian made winged C's that are discontinued(and whats in my amp), he's going to test the tubes i have now, and try to match up a singular tube, the good news is the winged C's that i have 5 good ones of, are worth a fortune now, i should be able to get myself squared fairly easy i hope, and maybe for 0$, if he allows me to test some sets out, and i find what i like, i'll give him the winged C's, i don't care about the name, as long as they give me the "stuff", i'm good. |

I had a tube in one of my Marshalls that looked the same. One of a set of Winged Cs. Bought a new set, now I got 5 spare ones. The Winged Cs are discontinued, but you can still get them here in Europe as long as the stores sell off their stock. My tech didn't even know they were discontinued. He said they probably broke the machine and no one knows how to repair it...
