[QUOTE="Capt_Tippy, post: 153818, member: 3656"] Well that could be that it might fail... Like I said the EH tubes are very inconsistent. There are a LOT of Sovtec tubes that I wouldn't even bother installing in an amp because I've seen a lot of those that are just total junk. Usually the Tung Sol marked tubes are strong though. The reason I don't like the Tung Sol's is that they are kind of Harsh sounding. I didn't know the question was about what tube was reliable. I thought the discussion was about tone. The JJ's and Ruby's are definitely much more reliable than ANY New Sensor tubes. ..and the tone is decent too, which is why everyone seems to be recommending them. I was just sayin if I needed a tube for V1 on my TwinFace module (for instance), and my only available tube was a TS, I'd take one of my JJ's out of V2 on one of my high gain modules, and I'd put the TS in its place. ..and my experience has been that it will work and sound fine in there. I would however probably never try an EH tube in V2 on a High Gainer. I have had several failures with those in that socket. [/QUOTE]
