Help I just got a JCM 800 2205 . When I got it one power tube was broke so the guy who sold it gave me a set of old GE 6550's, one of them was dead so amp guy checked it out and said they were a close match.
The sound was insane OD channel was pure crunch and clean channel was a little hot but I liked it,
so in preamp got 5 JJ ECC83S and in power tubes had 1 Sovtek 6550 and one GE 6550 ,This gave killer sound
I put in a pair of Tung Sol 6550's power tubes to match and the amp lost a lot of crunch and bite.
Question Would it be OK to put back the mixed set of Sovtek and GE's 6550s. Will this f**k up the head? sound was insane .
I want MY sound back
Thanks Ritchie NY
