Thanks for the Links. I think I'll try some of those when I get my new AC10 since it only has 4 Tubes & see how it sounds. Maybe I'll shoot a before & after Video?

I'd like to add that Sookwinder is 'one of those guys' that chases tube tonez... I'd trust him on this topic. 8)

And heck, even if you don't totally trust your ears, vintage tubes (from reliable sellers) really do tend to last longer, even if you can't necessarily tell the difference in tone improvement. :jacked:

Thanks for the feedback.

It seems like it's taking forever for these new FSR Vox AC10C1's with Celestion Greenbacks to come in!!!!!

Still Waiting..........

Do extra Tubes = better Tone?

My 4 Tube Vox AC15CC1X sounds every bit as good as my 65 DRRI. Maybe a little better.

Judging by the Fender Super Twin (when 85W of Twin Reverb just isn't enough), the answer is no :D
